These baby leg warmers went on easily, with plenty of stretch.  The elastic does not leave red marks on the chubby parts of toddler thighs, and the baby doesn't seem to even know they are on, unlike socks which the baby pulls off quickly.  They are a lightweight feel, and I love that they are UV coated for sun protection.  I can see how changing a diaper will not require removal of these leg warmers, unlike pants.  And I will feel more comfortable letting the baby crawl on the wooden deck with these on.  The only negative is that the wrapper recommends that they be hand washed and laid flat to dry.
