Toddler Hoodies – Soft Pull-On Hoodies for Little Ones

Toddler hoodies cover the 2T to 5T age range in two styles: pullover and full-zip. Both are cut from an 80/20 cotton-to-polyester fleece blend that holds its shape through repeated washing. The pullover closes at the chin and stays warmer on cold mornings; the full-zip opens completely and comes off quickly at bedtime or when heading indoors after outdoor play. Both styles are pre-shrunk and machine washable, and feature a kangaroo front pocket and an adjustable drawstring hood.

Toddler Hoodie Styles: Pullover and Full-Zip

Pullover hoodies have no front opening and go on over the head. They are the warmer choice because there is no zip to let cold air in at the chest, and the solid front construction traps heat better on cold mornings. Full-zip hoodies open completely from neck to hem, making them easier to get on and off a toddler who resists having things pulled over their head. Zip-up styles also work as a lightweight layer on cooler days: worn open, they add coverage without full warmth. Both styles come in solid colours and printed designs across the full 2T to 5T size range, and both use the same 80/20 cotton-fleece construction throughout.

Sizing Toddler Hoodies: 2T Through 5T

Toddler hoodie sizes follow standard T-size bands: 2T fits approximately age 2 (25 to 28 lbs, 32 to 34 inches), 3T fits approximately age 3 (28 to 34 lbs, 35 to 38 inches), 4T fits approximately age 4 (34 to 40 lbs, 39 to 41 inches), and 5T fits approximately age 5 (40 to 46 lbs, 42 to 44 inches). For hoodies worn over a t-shirt or onesie, size up if your child is between sizes: the extra room is needed for comfortable layering. Read the toddler hoodie size guide for full chest and height measurements across all four toddler sizes.

Pullover vs Full-Zip Toddler Hoodies: Which Is Easier?

Pullover hoodies are faster for outdoor play and the school run because there is no zip to manage. Full-zip styles are easier at nap time, after messy activities, and for toddlers who resist having a garment pulled over their head. The zip also gives more temperature control: a parent can unzip partway indoors without removing the hoodie entirely. For cold weather outdoor activities, the pullover retains more heat because the closed front has no gap.

Cotton Fleece Toddler Hoodies: Fabric and Care

Toddler hoodies in this range use an 80/20 cotton-to-polyester fleece blend. The cotton provides softness and a natural feel against the skin; the polyester adds durability and shape retention through the frequent washing that toddler clothing requires. The interior is brushed fleece, which raises the fibre surface to create a warmer feel without adding bulk. All pieces are pre-shrunk. Machine wash cold on a regular cycle, tumble dry low. Washing inside out extends colour life over the season. For a guide to fleece shrinkage and wash temperature, read do toddler hoodies shrink.
