It is worth remembering, however, that although we can assess whether tracksuits will feel pleasant for a child by touching them, we should always also look at their composition. What sets tracksuits with the EKO5 certificate apart?

Children’s tracksuits and their composition—what should you look out for?

Regardless of where we buy children’s tracksuits, it is a good habit to look at the labels and read the composition. It is commonly accepted that the best tracksuits are those made entirely from natural materials—mostly cotton. Such trousers are not only warm and pleasant to the touch, but also free from synthetic components; as a result, they will not irritate children’s skin or cause allergic reactions.

Of course, this does not mean that children’s tracksuit trousers containing polyester or elastane are bad—such components in limited quantities will not cause any harm. In fact, such tracksuits can be found in almost all clothing shops, both popular chain stores and branded children’s clothing shops such as Coccodrillo.

Children’s tracksuits with the EKO5 certificate

That is precisely why, when buying clothes for the youngest children, we should pay attention to whether they meet the relevant safety standards and have specific certificates. The basic standards for all clothing include safety standards such as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and OE 100 Standard, which confirm that the materials used in production are safe for children—this applies to natural, synthetic and artificial materials alike. It is also worth paying attention to the PN-EN 14682 safety standard, which regulates the ways in which particular cords and tapes may be used, as well as their types.

Tracksuits for girls and boys may also have various certificates. One of them is the EKO5 certificate, which confirms that the children’s tracksuit trousers were made entirely from natural materials and produced with respect for the natural environment.

It should be noted, however, that children’s tracksuits with the EKO5 certificate are intended not only for people concerned about the condition of the planet, but above all for parents who want to be certain that their child will wear completely safe clothing. Children’s tracksuits with this certificate are made entirely from natural components, so they do not contain harmful substances that can be found, for example, in inexpensive trousers purchased from Asian online shops.

So where should you buy children’s tracksuits? Above all, we recommend clothing shops for the youngest children. Take a look at the Coccodrillo online shop, where you will find children’s tracksuit trousers that meet the appropriate safety standards and have the EKO5 certificate.
