Baby winter jumpsuits and merino wool overalls – for the child who is carried, not walking
A baby who is carried or sitting in a pram is not generating heat. That is the whole design problem with a baby's winter clothing, and it is why the suit and the layer under it have to be chosen together.
Here you will find waterproof winter jumpsuits with teddy lining for the pram and the sledding hill, with ears on the hood and foldable cuffs – and the merino overalls that go underneath them.
Merino wool overall for a baby
A merino wool baby overall sits against the skin and moves moisture away, so warmth comes without bulk. Because it is one piece, it does not ride up and leave the back bare when your baby is lifted or wriggles.
Lenne's thin overall in 100% merino wool is a true base layer for under an autumn or winter suit. It is made in Estonia from Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified fabric. Tinynord's MERCI is a soft, knitted merino overall that works on its own on a cool day indoors, or under a winter suit when it is properly cold outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size winter jumpsuit for a baby?
Room for two thin layers underneath, but not so loose that the suit bunches. Trapped air is what insulates, so a suit with space is warmer than a tight one a size smaller.
Can a baby wear a winter jumpsuit in a car seat?
No. Padding compresses in a collision and leaves the harness loose. Strap the baby in wearing a thin merino overall and put the warmth on top, as a poncho or a blanket.
What goes under a baby's winter suit?
A merino wool overall against the skin. It moves moisture away, so the baby stays dry, and dry is what stays warm.
Does merino wool go under or over other clothes?
Under. A merino overall is the layer closest to the skin, with the winter suit on top.
Which merino overall should I choose?
Choose Lenne for the thinnest base layer and sizes up to 86. Choose MERCI for a softer knit that also works on its own indoors, in sizes 56/62 and 68/74.
What size merino wool overall for a baby?
Your baby's own size. A base layer is meant to sit close to the body, and fold-over cuffs give it a little more life as your baby grows.
