How Have Your Shopping Habits for Apparel, Home Goods and Other Items Been Impacted by Rising Inflation and Either a Glut or Lack of Inventory at Stores?
The rising costs of just about everything these days is eating at all of our budgets. Inflation is affecting us in a variety of ways- how often or how much we purchase for our kids is likely changing as well.
We need items that last longer, hold up well to everyday mishaps, and check all the boxes when it comes to quality. While we’ve always wanted those things out of our purchases, now more so than ever as things become more and more expensive to replace.
How have your shopping habits been impacted by inflation or supply chain issues? The way we shop for clothing, home goods, and even basic grocery items has altered a bit because everything has either gone up in price or simply been unavailable.
Buckle Me Baby Coats are a wise investment in the midst of these crazy times. We actually designed our coats with extra length in the arms so you can use these coats for an extended period of time as your child grows.
Not only that but we have TWO ways you can trade in your coat and receive a credit towards your child’s next size up!
With our original “Trade-Up” program you can purchase a new coat of your choosing, mail in the old coat along with the original and new order number to receive a $20 credit when the donation arrives.
Our newer option is partnered with The Swoondle Society! Add a Swoondle bag to your cart when purchasing your new coat, put your gently used coat into the Swindle bag and mail in for $15 back on your method of payment.
This is a wonderful option if you have other clothes to donate as well! Any brand of kids clothing and shoes sizes 0 to 12Y in great condition can be donated to Swoondle who will process and value your clothing for a trade-in value.
But this is our 3rd winter with one of these coats, and they're a lifesaver. Slight learning curve when you first get one, but not having to take the coat on and off in the cold is worth it. It's also piece of mind that it won't fall off when driving or if in an accident (kiddo will be warm when waiting for first responders). We live in Chicago and the Toast is warm enough for quick errands and the Toasty is nicer for deep winter. We do have a larger parka coat if we spend more time outdoors.

Safest jacket for kids
I ordered a green toastier coat for my 1 year old. Now when I did receive it that there was a tear in the jacket. But customer service made it simple in easy to file a claim to receive another one which was great. I had 1 already for my son but it became to small. I love these coats though they make it easy to just buckle your child without removing the coat. As well it gives me the peace of mind knowing he is sitting safely in his car seat. Definitely would recommend and be riding another once this one get too small again.

Great product
This product is great. I was thinking about a coat for my grandson that he could wear in his car seat, and I was told about the Buckle Me Coats. It works great and keeps him warm.

Warm, convenient and love it
I work at the Turnpike and I get sick of seeing babies drug and just pajamas cause people don’t wanna waste time putting a coat on them. This is wonderful because I can wrap a baby in it. They’re still warm.

Warm
I was worried about how to keep my baby warm during the cold months in Ohio. I personally can warm up my car first but my sister cannot. I stumbled upon these coats and went back and forth. I bought a poncho and two other coats before I caved. I feel so much better that she is warm and safe in her car seat. I rarely write reviews, but this company offers 20% off for a review so if that tells you anything, I’ll be buying another one for next year-I wanted the discount.

Soft and warm
Just got the buckle me baby blanket the other day. It’s super soft and warm. I look forward to using it in the car seat and stroller to keep my little monster warm. I think I’m going to order a coat for her as well for those extra cold days!
