Girls' Protective Wear, Ages 2 to 8
Protective wear for girls aged 2 to 8 covers the messy, muddy side of being little, and rain trousers are the main pieces. They are waterproof overtrousers she wears on top of leggings or jeans for puddle jumping, outdoor play at nursery and wet walks to school. The clothes underneath stay clean and dry, so she gets to the classroom without soaked knees.
Rain trousers are sized by height in centimetres. They go over other clothes, so pick her usual size, or the next one up if she wears thick trousers underneath in winter. Some shops call them waterproof trousers or overtrousers, and they are the same garment. After a muddy day, brush off the dirt and check the care label before washing, because waterproof fabrics can need gentler treatment.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's girls' protective wear collection for ages 2 to 8 contains rain trousers that go over everyday clothes, in centimetre sizes by height, where a 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm.
What size rain trousers should I buy for a 4-year-old girl?
A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm. If she will wear them over jeans or thick leggings, go up one size to 116 cm so she has room to move and bend her knees.
Should I rinse mud off rain trousers before washing them?
Yes. Let the mud dry, brush it off, then rinse in cold water so grit does not rub against the waterproof surface in the machine. Rain trousers for ages 2 to 8 are made from different fabrics, so check the care label for the washing temperature and how to dry them.
