Among the challenges of raising for a preemie girl is finding pants that will stay up on her waist and not fall down when she is mobile.  My first experience with the Gymboree leggings was actually with the bike shorts.  I bought my daughter (born 9-1/2 weeks early) all sorts of 0-3mos shorts and skirts.  To my dismay, the majority of them did not even come close to fitting her small waste.  I was so relieved to find these leggings, capris, and bike shorts by Gymboree.  With most other pants, by the time the waist size fit my daughter, the length of the pants would be too short for her.  This was not the case with the Gymboree leggings.

In accordance with the brand's reputation for quality and style, the Gymboree leggings wash well, do not fade, do not pill, do not lose their shape.  They are available in many colors of solids and a variety of fun prints.  I admit that I only buy them when they are on sale at Gymboree or when I can find ones I like on Ebay.  The great thing is that you are not tied to purchasing the coordinating items to go with these leggings.  The prints always have enough colors in them that you can easily match them with solid-colored tops from other stores.

In short, I highly recommend these pants for infants and toddlers who are on the lower end of the weight chart.

I agree - most of Gymboree's clothes are durable, reliable and easy to match to other items, I have found that the resale value for girls clothing on ebay is great too!

Thank you for the compliment. Even though my daughter is almost 11 months old now, she is still very thin for her height. I have a feeling that I will be shopping at Gymboree for these pants for many years to come.

I can remember back 20 years when you had to order preemie clothing. You couldn't find it anywhere in stores! With all the multiple births these days, there should be a larger market. Good review!
