Kooties Coveralls Review ~ Play Dirty and Stay Clean

*Gifted Product Review*

Kooties really caught my eye for a few reasons; environmental, practical, and fun. So I was keen to find out more about the product and for Teddy and Flo to put them to the test. First off here is some background into Kooties. The vision of these coveralls comes from a busy active family of 5 who had a desire to reduce their family’s wash load. So Kooties was born. What I love about this brand is they have managed to incorporate so many important factors for me as a parent into their product, whilst not impacting on the fun learning through play appeal for children. So here are our thoughts on the play overalls.

What we love about Kooties

• The first thing I want to touch upon as a parent myself is the safety aspect of Kooties from the aspect of children’s dress up. Kooties have ensured that whilst being water resistant that the coveralls are also non-ignition, fully tested and certified for U.K sale.
• I love to adopt sustainability into our family’s lifestyle where I can and share our finds with others. So I was really pleased to see that Kooties is a brand that shares this ethos and has made this one of their core values.
• Kooties are made from recycled factory waste that was used to serve the medical and pharmaceutical industries worldwide, how amazing is that!
• Using Kooties is helping reduce your repeated wash cycle of Children’s clothing. We’ve all recently been made aware that repeated washing releases dangerous micro-plastics into our waters and so being able to find ways like this to reduce repeated washing is great and something that we as a family are aiming to do.
• There are 4 great unisex designs to choose from; paramedic, police officer, construction worker and fire fighter.
• The fun element the coveralls bring to play. Mine have role-played whilst wearing them, Florence with her medical kit and Teddy with his toy walkie talkie. They have attended several pretend emergencies that need their help.
• They keep the kids cleaner, drier and stain free whilst still enjoying mud, sand and water play.
• They can go from outside messy play to indoor messy play and eating whilst still being comfortable.
• Budget friendly -Kooties are really affordable at £6.99 and are cheaper the more you purchase, making it more affordable for purchasing party packs or for childcare settings.
• Great for playing outdoors on an active holiday such as camping. Mine will be using theirs for morning play so they can keep their clothes cleaner for the day ahead.
• The coverall can be recycled at your local textile bank and they’re working on ways to be even more recyclable after use which will be really ideal.
• They’re true to size with a little bit of extra room, this is great as the cuffs mean that having a little extra room still makes them easy to wear and gives them growing room at the same time.

Points to note

You can’t wash the coveralls in the washing machine so to keep them clean you just use a damp cloth.

How long they last will depend on how much they use them and how much they’re put through the test! Ours so far are doing well and so I will keep you posted on this.

Kooties really have put such a lot of thought into this product and I’m really impressed with how they’ve designed a product that ticks parents’ and children’s needs. I think these coveralls are a great addition to our outdoorsy family and also would be a great addition to me from a childcare point of view and would have definitely put these to good use when I was a childminder.

I wrote this open and honest review in exchange for the product and because the company was a really good fit for my family ethos.  Please do check out their website here.
