Ther 5 Best Baby Overalls for Dads Who Do the Dressing!

Carhartt is a brand that’s built on the philosophy of rugged, reliable clothing for all, and their baby clothes are no exception.

The workwear giant’s Baby Boys’ Canvas Bib Overalls are made from the same dare-you-to-destroy-it cotton canvas as many of their grown-up items, so they’re more than a match for even the most vigorous play sessions. They also feature double-layered knees for protection against premature wear, along with falls, scrapes, and other oopsies.

This combination of quality materials and expert craftsmanship makes for one seriously tough set of baby overalls. Chances are, you’ll have to put these puppies up for consignment long before they begin to display any real damage.

But the near-indestructibility of these overalls isn’t their sole virtue. With a relaxed fit from top to bottom, adjustable shoulder straps, and leg snaps on sizes 3-24 months, the Baby Boy’s Canvas Bib Overalls make dressing your baby a virtually effortless task. If you’re all too familiar with the frustration that comes from trying to feed your kid’s flailing limbs into too-small arm and leg holes, you know what a big deal that is.

Just think—a few quick snaps and a couple of tugs and you and your mini-me are ready to take on the day. The convenience afforded by these overalls’ design is more than enough to justify their price, which is a bit steeper than the other offerings on this list.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 40 years, you’re probably already aware of OshKosh B’Gosh’s reputation for producing fashion-forward children’s overalls. You may have even worn them yourself when you were a sprout. Well, the company with the funny name is still around and they’ve only continued to refine their formula over the years.

You don’t call your product the “World’s Best” unless you’re confident that it stands head and shoulders above your competitors’. In this case, OshKosh B’Gosh has earned their bragging rights and then some.

Their Baby Girls’ World’s Best Overalls are simply superior all the way around, from their strong-yet-soft cotton denim fabric and signature button-and-snap closure system to their fine stitching details and myriad style options. In terms of fit, they’re streamlined throughout the legs for more of a modern look, but are still roomy enough to get on over a bulky diaper without difficulty.

The classic denim dungarees come in a fetching medium wash, but per OKB’s modus operandi, there’s about a bajillion other styles to choose from. These include versions with shorts and built-in frilly skirts for summertime jaunts, pairs adorned with polka dots and floral patterns, and select models with hearts embroidered on the bib to remind you of the fact that your little princess has stolen yours.

Long story short, these are the overalls your daughter will thank you for putting her in when she’s old enough for you to embarrass with all the baby pictures you’ll undoubtedly be taking of her.

Did you know that John Deere, one of the most trusted names in farming and construction equipment in the U.S., has their own line of work-ready apparel? It’s true. And since it’s never too early to teach your child how to shift gears on a row crop tractor, they now make baby clothes, too. Can you say “yeehaw”?

As you might expect, John Deere’s Newborn Denim Overalls were designed with a clear farm-to-closet aesthetic in mind, cut from traditional unwashed blue denim, finished with brass buttons, and proudly bearing that iconic green John Deere logo on the bib. But appearance isn’t everything where baby clothes are concerned, which is why they’re stitched together with reinforced seams to resist rips and tears, same as grandpa’s.

Obviously, the good people at John Deere understand why overalls have enjoyed such universal appeal among parents for decades. Thanks to their focus on providing simple, functional, no-frills garments, these overalls are resilient enough to withstand romps through the yard on all fours, but still cute and casual enough for group playdates or family photo ops.

Although they’re advertised as being for newborns, they come in three general sizes that will fit children up to 18 months of age, making them perfect for both bigger babies and those who have plenty of growing to do.

And don’t think that these are gender-exclusive just because they have “boy” in the name. They’ll look just as smart on your little girl, and wear just as well.

Kuriozud may not have the same kind of name recognition as the other companies on this list, but they’ve got an undeniable winner in their corduroy baby overalls.

Let’s get something straight right off the bat—these overalls are made for looks, not longevity. Their soft, single-stitch cotton blend fabric isn’t anywhere near as durable as denim or canvas, nor does it have the same down-home charm.

But that’s because they’re not trying to fill the same niche. Kuriozud’s corduroy overalls are geared towards fashion-conscious parents who want to lend their anklebiters an air of hipster quirkiness, rustic formality, or precocious book-smarts (picture books, that is). They’re more Mumford and Sons than they are Old MacDonald.

The handsomely cut corduroy is arguably more stylish than any pair of denim overalls could ever dream of being, and comes in an assortment of muted, earthy tones like wine red, grass green, and beige.

Depending on which color you fancy, you may get a pair featuring either traditional cross straps with metal button clasps or minimalistic, suspender-esque straps with old-fashioned button enclosures. Size-wise, each style is suitable for children aged 0-24 months and on into toddlerdom. That’s good news if you’re enamored with the way your kid looks in them.

As unlikely as they are to survive more than a few months of regular wear, Kuriozoid’s Baby Girl/Boy Corduroy Overalls are an unbeatable bargain, which means they’re cheap enough to replace several times over if needed.

Arctix knows that there are few things more enchanting for most babies than their first glimpse of snow.

That’s why they came up with their best-selling Snow Bib Overalls, which take all the best bits of ordinary dungarees and adapt them for frigid conditions.

Boasting a multi-layer construction that incorporates a wind-and-water-resistant outer shell, a moisture-wicking midlayer, and 120 grams of lightweight thermal insulation, these overalls prioritize your tyke’s warmth and safety without sacrificing comfort or practicality.

Unlike most baby overalls, there’s nary a button or clasp to be seen here. Instead, Arctix’s design makes use of a leak-proof zipper that runs the full length of the bib and makes getting ready a cinch. Once your papoose is all suited up, the built-in boot gaiters keep snow and moisture out, ensuring that their sensitive tootsies stay protected from the cold.

The sizing of these overalls run from 12 to 24 months, so they’re best suited for babies who are capable of standing and walking unassisted.

Bottom line: if you live somewhere with a cold, snowy climate and want your child to experience the magic of playing in a winter wonderland, Arctix’s Infant/Toddler Chest High Snow Bib Overalls are well worth the ducats.
