Fire Safety
This product complies with the Product Safety Standard (Children’s Nightwear and Limited Daywear Having Reduced Fire Hazard) Regulations 2016 and Safety Standard AS/NZS 1249:2014 (Children's Nightwear and Limited Daywear having Reduced Fire Hazard).
Washing & Care
Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!
Washing
- Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
- Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
- Close any zips before washing
- Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
- Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one
Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.
Drying
We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.
Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.
Storing
Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.
Stain removal
Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.
To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.
Odour removal
Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.
Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.
ABOUT THE FABRIC
Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.
We use extra fine 100% merino wool, it's nearly four times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.
Woolmark and OEKO-TEX approved
All of our merino meets the strict Woolmark standards of exacting quality, traceability and eco-friendly production. It also meets the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, designed to ensure textile products are free from harmful substances.
Naturally good for everyday comfort
Soft, warm and kind on the skin. Never itchy, our extra fine Australian merino wool fabric keeps kids comfy all year round. It’s hypoallergenic, wicks away moisture and regulates their temperature. And it’s durable, making it perfect for everyday basics.
18.5 micron fibres for incredible softness
Not all merino is created equal. The wool fibres in our all-natural merino fabrics are categorised as Extra Fine, with a diameter of 18.5 microns or less in our clothing range and 21.5 microns on our heavier hoodies.
Conveniently machine washable
Our Woolmark certified merino is approved for machine washing, meeting their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing.
Clothing made for busy days
Parenting small children has enough complications. We look for ways to make our clothing practical, durable and easy for kids with features like double ended zips, reinforced domes, or built-in mittens.

The OEKO-TEX 100 Standard is a comprehensive set of criteria designed to ensure that textile products are free from harmful substances. It covers every stage of production, from raw materials to finished garments, and sets limits on the use of chemicals that could potentially pose risks to human health.
Great quality! I love these hoodies for my boys.
I wish they could come in much more fun kids colours! (E.g I got a Paprika a few years ago that I really liked)
We love Babu, my 3 year old lived in one of your hoodies down when we were skiing for a few weeks so I had to get one for my 7 year old for an upcoming snow trip - they're a perfect mid-layer!
Wonderfull stretchy fabric that moves with her little growth and a great base layer for the cooler New Zealand evenings in summer
I have bought this hoodie for my English grandson who appreciates merino wool clothes in winter. I will give it to him at Christmas. It looks and feels soft and warm, I am sure he will love it
This is at least the 6th hoodie I have purchased for grandchildren.
It is the favourite garment.
My grandchildren all adore their Merino hoodies. Just wish you made bigger sizes up to 12
Adults would love them too.
After recently bulk buying a different brand of merino (which wasnt amazing) my expectations about Babu weren't that high.
When it arrived the first thing I noticed was the quality. It is soft, cosy and breathable. It fits and looks great as well. I cannot recommend this product enough and wished I had held off bulk buying a different brand.
I'll be buying all of my merino from Babu in the future.
Very nice, my son love it.
I hope that in the future size 5 will be available :)
Babu has been a favorite since the birth of my first child, all her clothing items still look brand new 3 years later on her younger sister. We have purchased both cotton and merino from Babu and they are unmatched in quality! And your sunscreen is the best - the only one my daughter doesn't react to! :)
As a mother, I get such peace of mind knowing I’m sending them out in the cold weather, wrapped in 2-3 layers of merino wool - such a phenomenal natural fibre. They never overheat and they’re always happy when they’re warm and comfortable. Can’t rate Babu merino clothing highly enough!
We had one of these for my toddler, and like all other babu merino we have owned the quality is perfect and long lasting. I wasn’t sure how they would stand up to toddler wear and tear but it has lasted amazingly, will see through my 2 kids at least, and wash up amazingly well given how dirty they get on a toddler who loves the outdoors. Have bought in multiple sizes
I purchased this hoodie during the 40% off sale which made it a bargain for a good quality merino hoodie. Lovely colour, we will get lots of use out of it.
Gorgeous Hoody great quality! I bought one for my three-year-old and will definitely be getting another for my younger daughter! Bank is a beautiful colour awesome for layering throughout the winter and will be a lovely light hoody throughout the summer
This is the absolute all time favorite of my children (2.5 and 5). We love it so much!
Beautiful hoodies - true to size, excellent quality
Beautiful soft fabric. Good quality and looks great
We have had this in every size since our boy was 6months old as we love the quality and style! Beautiful soft merino - we love BABU
Beautiful merino wool hoodie - and Babu service is outstanding - thank you!
They are so soft and great quality. We have this in nearly every size, I love the style and it’s so versatile for all seasons. Please bring back the plain pink and bigger sizes!
Lovely piece I got grey and white stripe very unisex and not too hot
Beautifully soft and super cute! And I love the colour.
I loved the hoodie, it was really soft and lovely quality. I’ve posted it to the UK for a friends new baby, I hope it washes well. I wish you did adult sizes as I’d like one for me!
Purchased this hoodie for a camping trip and was really impressed by the quality. Extremely fine, soft merino- beautifully made and looks like it will wear and last well. The hood is designed in such a way that it doesn't move around or fall down, so it's actually useful for warmth unlike most hoodies... Very, very happy. Would definitely consider purchasing in larger size when required.
My son looks gorgeous and WARM in it. The size of hoodie is great for the windy days.
I reckon I keep sizing up this model :-)
Thanks BABU
I order these every year for my daughter, and will be ordering them for my son too. Soft, warm and great quality.
A beautiful warm and soft hoodie. This is my second purchase. Babu sent me, along with a hand-written thank you note, a discount voucher and a bag to wash delicates in! This was so lovely of them and I really appreciated it.
I have purchased this hoodie in various sizes due to the good quality. So handy will go with lots of outfits
Beautifully soft and lovely quality. I bought one at first and liked it so much that I had to buy another in the next size up.
Excellent quality, both soft and warm. Very well made, especially like the overlap at the neck.
Excellent quality easy care hoodie, head hole is a bit small (and my baby's head is only 25th centile) but otherwise excellent
Great shape/style. Good for year round use and layering in winter.
Once again, awesome quality from Babu. and
Very nice style and my daughter is super cosy in it. Just purchased another today!
Lovely light weight hoodie great for wearing year round.
