    KFcarter you are so right. My son "Carter" has worn the same kilt for more than a year and will probably continue to do so for another 4-6 months. As it was velcro waisted it was easier to fit to him as he grew. I admit length was a bit of an issue when he was really young but we just "Urkled" it a bit (pulled it up a tad higher than normal) and let the extra length dangle----he was not walking or standing then so it mattered not if the kilt hit him right at the kneecap or not (sometimes you had to look hard to find his knee caps in those chubby legs). Now at 15 months it fits him absolutely perfectly, as can be seen from the above review.

    And yes, except for managing the extra fabric from the pleats it does make diaper changing easier. We actually just remove the kilt to change him then rekilt him when finished---with teh velcro it is easy.

    That paints a great picture!

    I wish I had thought of kilts for mine when they were little...but I'm definitely going to share these posts with my daughter. I'd love to see my grandkids kilted!!
