Emerson and Friends

We list Emerson and Friends on 3 of our 25 baby clothing pages: sleepers, rompers, gowns. 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 sleepers example is the Manatee Bamboo Convertible Footie Romper at $38; its rompers example is the Jungle Friends Bamboo Baby Boy Shortie Romper at $38; its gowns example is the Bamboo Baby Gown and Hat Newborn Set. 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.

Emerson and Friends is sold through: Own site. The brand's own site is emersonandfriends.com. We class Emerson and Friends as "small / family-owned", 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 Emerson and Friends listings we checked give the size range as: NB, 0-3M, 3-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M, 18-24M. Sizes differ by piece. The rompers example is listed in 0-3M, 3-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M, 18-24M. 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 Emerson and Friends'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 Emerson and Friends names most often on the listings we checked: Viscose from bamboo, Lycra. On the product pages, the sleepers example lists "96% Viscose from Bamboo / 4% Lycra" and the rompers example lists "95% Viscose from Bamboo / 5% Spandex". We did not see a GOTS or OEKO-TEX certificate stated on the Emerson and Friends products we checked. That does not mean none exist; it means the pages we read did not state one. Fabric sold as bamboo is usually rayon or viscose made from bamboo, and the FTC explains how it should be labeled. Fabric can change between styles and seasons, so read the fiber content on the product page before you buy.

Regular prices on the Emerson and Friends examples we checked run from $38 (Manatee Bamboo Convertible Footie Romper) to $38 (Jungle Friends Bamboo Baby Boy Shortie Romper). We place Emerson and Friends in the mid-range 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 Emerson and Friends prices sit" section on this page shows each priced example against the same piece from every other brand we list.
