Bumkins

Bumkins's site mentions product registration (source). Registering lets a maker contact you about recalls.

We list Bumkins on 1 of our 25 baby clothing pages: sun hats. For every type we open the brand's own site, pick one real product as the example, and write down its name, regular price, sizes and fabric the way the brand states them. For example, its sun hats example is the Sun Hat: Ahoy. Outside clothing, we also compare Bumkins in bibs & burp cloths, baby food & feeding, pacifiers & teethers, diaper bags. Each type name above links to a page where every brand that makes that piece is listed together, with its price tier, sizes and fabrics.

Bumkins is sold through: Own site, Target. The brand's own site is bumkins.com. We class Bumkins as "national brand / dtc", which describes the kind of company it is, not its quality. Every example on this page links straight to that product, so you land on the item and not on a search page. The prices we show are regular prices read on the day we checked. Stores run sales often, so the price at checkout can be lower than the one shown here. Stock and sizes change by season, and a print we link to may sell out; the same style usually comes back in a new color or print.

Most Bumkins listings we checked give the size range as: Sleeved bibs fit 6 to 24 months. Baby sizes are not standard from brand to brand. Two brands can put the same age on the label and cut the garment to different weights and lengths, and some brands size by height in centimeters instead of by months. Go by Bumkins's own size chart, which gives the weight and length each size is made for, and compare it with your baby's current measurements instead of age alone. We do not test fit, so we do not say whether a brand runs small or large.

The fabrics Bumkins names most often on the listings we checked: 100% polyester with a TPU coating (sleeved bib). We did not see a GOTS or OEKO-TEX certificate stated on the Bumkins products we checked. That does not mean none exist; it means the pages we read did not state one. Fabric can change between styles and seasons, so read the fiber content on the product page before you buy. Children's sleepwear has its own federal rules on fit and flammability; the CPSC explains them. For every type we open the brand's own site, pick one real product as the example, and write down its name, regular price, sizes and fabric the way the brand states them.

We have not confirmed a regular price on a Bumkins product yet, so this page shows no dollar figures for it. We place Bumkins in the budget-friendly tier. The tier compares a brand's regular prices with the other brands we list; it is not a judgment of quality. A regular price is the full price the brand lists. We never record a sale price, because sales start and end without notice and would make brands look cheaper or dearer than they usually are. The "Where Bumkins prices sit" section on this page shows each priced example against the same piece from every other brand we list.
