PACT Clothing Review: Baby and Kids {Updated November 2021}

PACT kids clothing review
 

I’ve been purchasing PACT clothing from Emi ever since she was a newborn (thanks to all of you who have purchased through my referral link here <— gives you 20% off your first purchase and gives me $20 credit). I just haven’t reviewed them yet. In fact, I actually purchased a bunch of plain white onsies (bodysuits) for my baby shower so that friends and family could decorate them. They had a blast flexing some creative muscle and I had a fun time dressing Emi in them and sending out pictures to them throughout her first year.

But I also love the PACT bodysuits in general so I bought multiple colors and sizes (because you know a baby can go through several onsies in a day). I like them so much because not only are they 100% organic cotton, but also the cotton fabric is quite thick (like a 3-ply vs 1-ply). They’re much thicker than any other brand onsies I’ve tried. Sadly PACT only goes up to size 9-12 months so I’ve had to switch over to Carter’s onsies since those go up to 24 months. But it’s just not the same. I gave all the onsies Emi outgrew to a friend with a girl who’s about 6 months younger than Emi, and my friend says the PACT bodysuits are her favorite too.

As for the sizing, I think they’re TTS if you have a “normal” sized baby. But since Emi’s been >99% percentile for height ever since she was a month old, we found the onsies kind of small for her. They were particularly tight on her chubby arms and we always went one size up. But for my friend’s baby, they fit TTS.

Now that Emi has outgrown the bodysuits, I’ve purchased kids tees and shorts for her. The tees are a thinner organic cotton fabric than the bodysuits but I find that to be fine for a summer tee. The shorts I got for her are the softie shorts, which I loooooove because they go down past her knee. I always put her in the softie shorts when we go for walks since it protects her knees from scrapes whenever she inevitably trips on the sidewalk. Also because the shorts are made from a thick cotton fleece material, it provides extra padding to her knees. Seriously, these are the best shorts for toddlers. I also purchased these in one size up for Emi since the waistband runs small for her big belly lol.

So if you’re looking for good quality 100% organic cotton clothes for babies and kids, I highly recommend PACT. As usual, thank you so much for those support the blog via your time and clicks!

 

{September update: I also purchased a 100% organic cotton zip-up hoodie for Emi and she wore it for the first time the other day when we went to the beach in SF. It fit perfectly (she’s wearing a size 2-3T) and the quality is amazing. I don’t even have sweatshirts that are of this quality. It’s a super thick cotton fleece that feels like a premium sweatshirt (it’s probably PACT’s best quality sweatshirt on their site having tried both the men and women’s versions). I am definitely buying her the next size up in these zip-up hoodies.}

{April 2021 update: Emi’s finally outgrowing her hoodie I bought in September so I’m repurchasing it in the next size up (yes it’s that good). I was able to get it on sale for $18 (Earth Day sale) and it’s 100% worth it. I also purchased more tees in the next size up (these tees are also my friend’s favorite and she’s been keeping her 1 year old in them even though they are a tad small lol). And since the sale was so good I decided to purchase and try out their dresses, leggings, and shorts.}

{November 2021 Update: I keep purchasing new items from PACT for Emi as she keeps sizing up. We are currently now on size 6/7 for the bottoms and 4/5 on top (she’s 2.5 but very tall 🤦🏻‍♀️). For the winter months I bought her some cotton sweatshirts for her to wear to preschool. They’re not as thick as the hoodies which I think is better for her since she runs hot. The quality as usual is really great. Also I should mention that the quality for the dresses and leggings are also excellent and she loved wearing them all through the summer. I have a couple Hanna Andersson dresses (my review of Hanna Andersson here) and the fabric on the PACT dresses aren’t as thick, but they’re still better than some of the Target cotton dresses I got her.}
