Every mom knows how hard it can be to get their kid to wear a jacket. And even though Spring is here, there are still those evenings that are just a bit too cool for bare arms. Layered shirts like those Kingston Rossdale and Evan McCartney (right) sport are one alternative, but we’ve found something even better.

Introducing: Babylegs. Resembling leg warmers, Babylegs can be worn on arms and legs in place of long sleeves, long pants, or jackets.

What’s great about Babylegs is the variety. You can buy them for the littlest baby or the biggest kid — girls,boys, Moms and Dads. (One size fits most.)

The patterns are endless. From Funky and Modish to Seasonal and Standard, there is something for everyone. Want them SuperSoft? Babylegs has ‘em. Prefer natural? Check out the Earth/Organic selection. Want to show your school spirit? Try Babylegs’ Academy colors. And with prices ranging from just $7 to $22, you can buy a bunch.

Here are just a few of the ways parents use them:

• Wear Babylegs under warm-weather clothes on cool mornings. When it warms up — just remove them
• Babylegs eliminate the need to pack a bunch of clothes for changing weather conditions.
• They’re great for keeping baby warm during diaper changes.
• Kids can easily put on and remove Babylegs themselves.
• Babylegs provide a nice cushion for crawling babies.
• With Babylegs, there are fewer layers to remove when potty training.
• Little kids can wear what big kids (and even grown-ups) are wearing.
• Wear them over mittens and sleeves to keep out the snow.
• Babylegs are ideal for under dresses — better than tights that just never seem to fit right.
• For kids with eczema — or those who just like to scratch — Babylegs are just what the doctor ordered.
• Have a kid in a cast? With Babylegs you don’t have to cut off sleeves or pantlegs!

Your kids will have a ball with Lollipop, Chutes, Ladders, Hopscotch, and Leapfrog. They can celebrate the holidays with Pot O’ Gold, Witch, Bunny Lane, and XOXO designs. For every outfit, for every event, there are just the right Babylegs.

So as the sun sets and the air is cools, have your child put on some Babylegs — no jacket required!
