Best kids blanket
The requirements for children's blankets are serious for obvious reasons. Here is the list:
Soft, pleasant to the body and not spiky.
After all, it is primarily a blanket.
Hypoallergenic. Kids (especially preschoolers) are prone to allergic reactions due to weaker immunity.
Breathable. Warm, but with good air permeability.
Durable and wear-resistant. Unless, of course, you plan to buy your child a new blanket every season.
Easy to care. You will have to wash it oftenly, so it is convenient when you can do it yourself, without going to the dry cleaners.
And, of course, it should be good looking.
The best idea is to buy a blanket which your. child likes and that fits into the interior of the room.
To take into account all the requirements, you need to look at the fabric composition, production technology, dimensions and shape of the blanket. Further details about everything.
Practical moments of choosing a blanket to the kids room
Material / composition
As for the composition blankets can be:
Natural. Made of wool, fur or cotton.
Synthetic. Fleece, polyester, microfiber or artificial fur.
Mixed. Acrylic + cotton or acrylic + wool options have proven themselves well.
Knowledge of the characteristics of various materials will help when choosing:
cotton plaid is better for summer (although it is also quite warm). It is also light, breathable, hygroscopic, easy to wash;
woolen models are the warmest warmth and coziness;
a fur blanket is an option for walks with a stroller in the winter season;
artificial fur is a warm winter alternative for children with allergies;
the softest and lightest is a microfiber plaid. It is hypoallergenic, does not absorb water, suitable even for the smallest;
fleece and all-acrylic models weigh little, are moderately wear-resistant, but serve better as a cover than a blanket.
They combine the aesthetics, strength, easy care and warming qualities of a blanket made of natural fabric (cotton, wool) with the addition of synthetics (for example, acrylic).
Production technique
These are the criteria of durability, wear resistance and warmth. According to the production technology, there are blankets:
Woven. Multifunctional, light, quite easy to wash at home.
Knitted. Soft, warm, super-cozy, durable models (the last characteristic varies by knitting technique).
From solid material. An easy-to-care-for blanket or bedspread option.
Patchwork. Original, aesthetic plaids, great accessories in the interior.
When choosing a blanket from the specified categories, immediately specify how to care for it - soak, wash and dry.
Form and size
For small children, blankets with a hood and mittens are sewn to comfortably wrap the baby. In terms of shape, the models are more often square and rectangular, less often round or oval.
Size recommendations:
for babies — 75 х 75 cm or 75 х 90 cm;
for preschoolers — 100 х 140 cm;
for teenagers — 130 х 170 cm or 140 х 200 cm.
The easiest way is to choose the size of the blanket according to the size of the bed.
Brand
This is not about the recommendations of specific brands, but about the importance of branded items as such. By buying a branded plaid, you get:
Guarantees of quality, durability and practicality.
Quality materials and good dyes in the composition, proven production technology, and also the aesthetics of the plaid as an interior detail.
Maximum comfort of use.
There is a dubious economy in buying "no name" goods, especially when it is something for a child.
