08/15/2007: "Adjustable Waistbands in Toddler Jeans"

No one has ever told me about adjustable waistbands in kids' pants. They are so cool! I have to admit I tend to be a Walmart shopper, and I haven't seen these adjustable waistbands in Walmart clothing.

My husband and I were looking at kids' clothing at Sears and they had toddler Levi's on sale. I hate buying pants and jeans for my boys because I never know if they are going to fit. Then I noticed these Levi's had adjustable waistbands. There are a couple of buttons sewn into the inside of the waistband and elastic that attaches to the buttons and that "retracts" into the waistband. No more worrying about if the waist will fit! Our boys wear the same size jeans, but they have different sized waists. Pants that will fit one boy fall off the other one because he has a tiny waist. With these adjustable waistbands I can buy the same jeans for both of them and adjust them for each boy. They're so great.

We also found these waistbands in jeans we bought at The Children's Place. I don't normally shop there, either, but they had really cute toddler jeans 2 for $22.
