Type-A Mom has a new look! Check out the new site! We're also hiring writers!

It is a rare and special thing to find any product for children, particularly a clothing item, that lasts more than a month or so. It is even cooler when you find one that can be worn by all ages: babies, toddlers, children, teens and even mom. Babylegs leg warmers not only meet that criteria, but they just look cool.

With designs from cute polka dots to preppy argyle designs to punk red flames, Babylegs are both functional and funky.

What are Babylegs?

Babylegs are similar to tights, with a key exception: they only cover the legs. That is a crucial component because it means you get easier access to diaper changing with babies. The stated age range is age 0 to 10 years. Seriously. But older children, teens and moms can use them as arm warmers, meaning the whole family can share.

Why are Babylegs Cool?

Really, what makes this product is the simple and genius idea behind it combined with the fact the look is just cool. There are so many children's clothing items that can only be described as cheesy. If you're sick of traditional pastel pink and blue, or seeing all your kids' clothing decked with Sesame Street and Blue's Clues characters, Babylegs are just refreshing.

The Bottom Line on Babylegs

They do cost more than your standard discount store tights, but considering they will outlast those purchases by years it's a fair trade-off.
