Why We Recommend the Calikids Splash Suit for Daycare Kids

The Daycare Edit

Rain or shine, daycare kids head outside every day. Here is the one piece splash suit we stand behind, and everything that goes with it.

If your child is heading into daycare, you have probably already heard the phrase: outdoor time, rain or shine. Canadian daycare programs get kids outside every single day, no matter what the weather looks like. Yes, even when it is really coming down.

That means you need more than a raincoat and boots. You need a full body solution that keeps them dry from hood to toe. We have seen and tested a lot of rain suits over the years, and the one we stand behind is the Calikids Waterproof Rain Suit.

The One We Recommend

The Question We Get

So, What About Muddy Buddy?

The Tuffo Muddy Buddy is another solid rain suit. We have chosen to carry Calikids because it fits better, wears better, and comes in more colours and sizes, which makes it easier to match your child's style and their daycare's needs.

Daycare staff also tend to prefer suits that are a little less bulky and easier to manage during hectic coat and boot transitions, and that is exactly what Calikids offers.
