We have them from Crazy 8, Joe Fresh and Gap and he doesn't mind any of them. But generally he's not very particular about being dressed and he now has to wear a uniform to school/daycare every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2117333 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 07:12:58 +0000 stargal 2117333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesnt mind st all. Wears jeans every day. They dont seem to limit his mobility at all and actually ptotect his legs and knees from getting banged up bc of the thick material. I started him young so maybe thats why, they dont bother him. He does wear leggings too, byr doesnt seem to prefer them over jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2117247 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 22:48:21 +0000 mrsjyw 2117247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesnt care! I usually put him in Nonjeans because I prefer comfort for him and usually save jeans for church, events, outings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2116313 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:53:30 +0000 Finfan 2116313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She mostly wears jeggings and we even have some fleece lined jeggings. If she is in a true jean fabric, it's usually Osh Kosh overalls. DD is 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2116256 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:17:57 +0000 erinpye 2116256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She hates various clothes for various reasons. Pants are always "too tight" or "scratchy," nothing can have tags or seams that stick into her. She mostly wears leggings and jeggings, with a few pairs of jeans I can convince her to wear sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2116050 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 11:49:10 +0000 T-Mom 2116050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS hates jeans but we did find 2 pairs that are soft enough to gain his approval. A pair from old navy (pull on) in lightweight denim and a Tea Collection denim look pant that looks like denim but is really just a regular knit pant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115951 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:56:19 +0000 rachiecakes 2115951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: YES. I don't love the athletic/sweatpants look on my DS and that seems to be the only option other than jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115931 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:47:24 +0000 BadgerMom 2115931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: :happy: </p> <p>@Anagram: I think there are way more comfy pants options for girls than boys! I've been buying DS girl "jeggings" at old navy that look like jeans but are soft and stretchy. I'm hoping that stores will slowly start coming out with more stylish comfy pants in the boys section too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115885 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:11:20 +0000 Anagram 2115885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO wears toddler jeans almost daily and has no issues moving. At all. She climbs on everything. But all the jeans I've ever seen for her age are totally stretchy--most are pull-on and don't even have zippers. I buy them mainly at Old Navy, Target, and Crazy 8 (those have a button and zipper, but they have a stretchy waistband so I just pull them on and off). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115880 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:06:50 +0000 cascademom 2115880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: We got hand me down Gap lined chinos. Those are nice pants. LO seemed to not mind them this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115870 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:01:48 +0000 littlebug 2115870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Thanks. I'll check them out. I just want a few pairs for the Spring and cool Summer evenings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115856 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:56:51 +0000 looch 2115856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: there are varying levels....Gymbo has ones that are fleece lined and they're warm. The jersey lined are pretty light, my son, who runs hot, doesn't complain with those. </p> <p>I forgot, also Old Navy has some. Full disclosure, though, my son wears a lot of sweatpants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115840 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:52:19 +0000 cascademom 2115840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: My LO calls his track pants "running pants." I put on sweats last night after having a crampy pregnancy day. LO immediately says "Mommy's wearing running pants!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115838 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:51:33 +0000 littlebug 2115838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yeah, I looked at those yesterday at Oshkosh. But I feel like even those would be warm. Am I overthinking? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115835 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:49:50 +0000 looch 2115835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: look for jersey or fleece lined pants. Gymboree has a bunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115830 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:48:09 +0000 littlebug 2115830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D is 2 and yes, he protests them. I LOVE the Carter's knit "jeans" (we call them pajama jeans), and am heartbroken they don't make them past 24m sizes. The only jeans that he mildly tolerates are the H&amp;M ones that are too big and as loose as possible on his waist. Otherwise, no dice. For the most part, I don't put him in "real" pants anyway. He's at daycare all day, running around and getting dirty. And I don't like to nap in real pants, so why should I expect he would? But I'm having a hard time finding knit pants that aren't either athletic mesh/swishy pants or heavy sweatpants over size 24m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115811 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:42:29 +0000 mediagirl 2115811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

My 19 month old doesn't mind them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115579 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:37:20 +0000 BadgerMom 2115579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Thanks! I will definitely keep in mind looking for non-athletic comfy pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115557 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:27:36 +0000 tinyperson 2115557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2yo LO asks to wear her jeans - but I buy the lightweight ones with an elastic waistband. She does have a few pairs of heavier ones that she wears occasionally - but I haven't noticed her rejecting them at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115518 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:01:26 +0000 Mamaof2 2115518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 yr old will wear them but my 6 yr old wont - he only wears soft pants </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115516 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:00:59 +0000 Pumuckl 2115516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nearly 2 year old loves jeans. He picks them over softer pants almost every day (we let him choose). We didn't get him jeans until he was 18 months old though except for overalls (those are easier to move in). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115484 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 06:33:07 +0000 Silva 2115484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daughter always yells "too tight!" if i try to put her in jeans with an actual waistband. if the material is soft and the waist band is a stretchy one (not just adjustable- it can't have a fly or buttons) she is okay with it.<br /> We cloth diaper, and I've always assumed she wouldn't mind them as much once she didn't have to wear a bulky diaper...but maybe not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2115471 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 06:21:14 +0000 looch 2115471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: Comfy doesn't mean you're limited to athletic or sweatpants...I use jersey or fleece lined chino pants for my son and they're extremely practical.<br /> Gymboree has a great selection, as does Childrens Place and sometimes Gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2114983 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 18:27:05 +0000 sarac 2114983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually really opposed to stiff clothing for children - especially for little girls. I really hate the way that little girls (and boys too) are expected to be pretty and tidy at the expense of comfort, ease of movement, enjoyment, etc. It's just the first lesson in how your appearance matters more than any of those things - and I just refuse to teach my daughter that. </p> <p>My 3 year old doesn't own any jeans, and I'm unlikely to buy any for her. Instead, she wears tights and leggings all year round, with soft cotton shorts and skirts in the summer. When she gets old enough to decide to suffer for fashion on her own, she's welcome to. But I won't force her to at any point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2114896 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 17:02:10 +0000 NovBaby1112 2114896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 2.5 year old has worn jeans once in her entire life. I don't blame her, I prefer comfy pants too! TBH I don't get jeans for newborns or young babies, they aren't comfortable and must be hard to move in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2114888 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:53:18 +0000 BadgerMom 2114888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, it looks like lots of comfy pants are in my future. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2114851 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:10:45 +0000 cascademom 2114851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put LO in jeans once when he was in daycare. By the end of the day, he came home with softer pants. He's pretty much in sweatpants and track pants all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2114787 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 15:09:58 +0000 autumnlove 2114787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't like them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-hate-jeans#post-2114786 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 15:09:27 +0000 Andrea 2114786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 has always disliked them! DD2 doesn't mind them. I hope this continues because I think jeans look so good on little girls. These are all the skinny/jegging type of jeans so I feel like they are comfortable?? I can see other types being hard to move around in though. </p>
