A baby appeared in the family. This is a huge happiness, and at the same time a lot of trouble. But what about? It is necessary to feed the crumbs, put them to bed, try to follow him so that he does not get sick. And if, in addition, the peanut was born on gloomy autumn days or on the eve of winter, then another important question is - how to wear it for a walk? This will help the winter jumpsuit “Barquito”, reviews of which can be read in this article.
Choice is a responsible matter
Today, in many children's clothing stores there is a very large selection of overalls for both the smallest and the older kids. Moms just run their eyes. But how not to make a mistake with the choice? How to buy the very thing in which, on the one hand, the child was warm and comfortable (especially for those babies who spend all the time walking in the stroller), and on the other hand, to the little ones who prefer to run outside, sculpting snowmen, sledding, it was not difficult in such overalls.
The best is from Russia
What is Barkito outerwear? With what, as they say, eat it?
In short, just to get acquainted, then we can say this. The advantages include the fact that the things of this company have a wonderful design, a wide selection, and sometimes discounts reach up to 70%. There are also minor flaws: in some places, a little more accurate seams could be made.
It is probably impossible to collect believable reviews about the Barkito winter jumpsuit without information about the manufacturer. So parents write. Children's clothing Barkito is a Russian brand that has become widespread in the chain of stores "Ship". The general appearance of the products is a bit like the German brand of clothes for kids - Play Today.
By the way, for those parents who make frequent purchases, updating the wardrobe of their little ones, an important fact should be noted: very often you can get discounts. And if there is a gold card, then in this case, parents have a great opportunity to save a little: pleasant bonuses drop from each purchase on the card - 1 bonus is equal to 1 ruble. The accumulated money at any time can be paid later, when making the next purchase.
This is such a brand, thanks to which it is possible to purchase for the baby, for example, the winter suit “Barquito”. Parents reviews allow you to put a rating of four and five.
Why will we compare?
In order to decide what to buy with our beloved baby, we will conduct a comparative analysis of children's winter clothing sets, taking as a basis two well-known brands - Finnish LASSIE by REIMA and Russian BARKITO. And we will compare in order to have an idea of whether the baby needs to purchase outerwear from the widely advertised and, perhaps, well-known throughout the world company, or you can completely choose a more democratic option, without worrying that the little one can freeze in winter either get wet, long wallowing in the snow.
Now new companies appear on the children's clothing market with enviable constancy. They offer products under their brands. One of them is the Barkito trademark, which belongs to a large retail network of goods for children. The design and design of children's dresses are developed in Russia, but they are produced in China.
An important factor is the price
If you pay attention to the price, then such children's clothing will be an order of magnitude more affordable than similar, only released under brands that are more familiar to consumers. And considering that almost all Finnish manufacturers of clothing for children moved their production to the countries of Southeast Asia several years ago, a very difficult question arises for mothers: what to do? To save by buying a children's winter jumpsuit “Barkito” (reviews will be announced in this article), or, without hesitation, to purchase a more expensive, but made by a well-known and reputable Finnish manufacturer?
Here, in order to provide all possible assistance to parents and to understand the nuances of choice, we will compare two, at first glance, almost identical, winter sets (jacket + trousers) for children. And this will be a very correct comparison, because among all Finnish brands we have chosen the most affordable.
Clothing design
Parents understand that the first impression of clothing depends on its design (color plays an important role here). This is especially true for cases when choosing clothes for girls. Then, for example, a white-and-red print on the Finnish kit may seem more pleasant and soft pink tones here will be more pleasant. On the other hand, the slightly rustic flowers on the BARKITO jacket, although they look a bit naive, but such minimalism is considered an adequate design decision.
One can argue about the bright color of this set: someone likes juicy colors, someone prefers calmer tones. Since it is generally accepted that human tastes are not a subject for special discussion and they do not argue about them, it is not worth paying too much attention to color solutions.
Shortcuts
The next step is to study the information provided by manufacturers to potential buyers. This is information that will help you make a purchasing decision. They are usually found on labels attached to clothing. Just from such booklets, parents will be able to understand what are the main consumer qualities of this thing. For example, this may be the type of fabric used in the sewing of a product, the proposed temperature range, and the like.
If you take the Barkito winter overalls, reviews of which indicate that this is a pretty good choice for the kids, then there is not much information here - data on manufacturers and distributors, some technical information that is sure to come in handy. But whether this kit is water-repellent, what is the temperature range of its use, one can only guess.
At a set of "Reima" all the accompanying tags are very informative. They indicate both the possible temperature for using clothes, the properties of the fabric (whether it is water-repellent or not), and the necessary recommendations for caring for the baby kit. By the way, you can conduct a simple test in order to learn about the water-repellent properties of matter. Pour one teaspoon of water onto the trousers from the sets in question. It should be noted that the liquid did not spread over the surface of any of the materials, remaining on it in the form of small balls.
Jacket Design
Both jackets have detachable hoods (they are on the buttons). But they are different in themselves. The brand “Barkito” (winter jumpsuit for a boy), reviews of which indicate that when compared with LASSIE by REIMA, he loses a little. Such a detail is simplified - this is a regular hood with velcro chin protection. True, one must be fair and mention that in overalls for girls, hoods are sewn exactly the same. The second brand has a detachable faux fur at the hood and delicate fleece material inside. All this, of course, is a plus, because the fur trim protects the baby's face from snow and cold during the wind or blizzard.
The collar of the LASSIE jacket, as well as all other places in contact with the skin of the child, is finished with fleece material. The collar of the BARKITO jacket is made of the same material as the whole jacket. True, this material is not very rough to the touch, but also not as soft as Bemberg in LASSIE.
Jacket linings of both brands are made of the same materials, similar to raincoat fabric.
The difference in the approach of manufacturers to how the baby is protected from the cold. LASSIE has sewn elastic on the back at the waist, a pair at the bottom of the jacket, on the sides and on the sleeves in the region of the forearms. The jacket fits snugly on the child’s body and the cold air cannot penetrate under the clothes. The BARKITO jacket has neither sewn-in rubber bands nor a pull-down cord at the bottom. This does not mean that the baby will freeze, perhaps he will only be a little cooler.
By the way, the filling, which contains winter overalls "Barquito", fluff and feather (parents' reviews say that artificial filling is no worse), warm kids well in extreme cold.
Pants design
The first thing you need to pay attention to is that the BARKITO trousers are made as semi-overalls. He has a sewn elastic at his waist, and a little higher protection rises for the baby’s back and chest, to which elastic straps are attached. Regarding LASSIE, it should be noted that many models of winter children's clothing from this manufacturer also eat semi-overalls. And there are regular pants made in the classical style, at the waist of which there is a wide elastic band. Since the waist of the trousers is quite high, the baby’s tummy and lower back will be closed. The straps of BARKITO trousers can be adjusted with Velcro, and plastic buckles and clips are used in LASSIE products.
Each parent will, of course, choose what they like, you just need to clarify that the plastic clip can last longer than Velcro, and the latter have a limited adjustment range. In LASSIE trousers, the straps are completely unfastened, while in BARKITO their rear ends are sewn tightly.
To prevent cold air and snow from falling into my legs, the following was invented. The Finnish kit uses a stretch elastic cord that is sewn into the edge of the trousers, and in the Russian version this is represented by an additional inner cuff with a wide elastic band.
So, after such a detailed description, it is safe to say that both options are equivalent in their functionality, because they can equally well provide a snug fit of the lower part of the trousers to the child’s boots, so that cold air and snow do not fall under the clothes.
The same can be said about jackets. It would probably be wrong to say that only, for example, the overalls model No. 1 is the best, and model No. 6 is the most uncomfortable. Indeed, in every overalls there are both strengths and weaknesses. And here it depends not only on the manufacturer, but also on what exactly the parents want to get when buying a specific set of winter clothes. Therefore, the final choice is left to the parents, who will decide for themselves what is best for their baby - a well-developed Finnish brand or a relatively new Russian company for tailoring children's clothes and her winter jumpsuit “Barquito” (reviews of mummies say that he is practically not inferior to more expensive products).
