This is the second pair of these pants I have and I bought them, because I liked so much the smaller size. I like the footed style - my son plays with his feet a lot and socks never stay in their place longer than few minutes. I like quality: this is probably the only organic cotton piece of clothes in our household - I am not "an organic person", but the fabric is really good quality - durable (I have washed the previous pair of pants many times and looks still very nice and keeps its shape) and still soft and pleasant to touch.  (I only wish I could get the cut I am used to from Europe, where babys pants don't have a rubber band at waist, but have closing over shoulders - kind of pants + a tank together :-)  ) I read complains of other reviewer, that pants were too short. I didn't have that problem. And waist rubber band is spaceful Even for my 18 pounds 6 months old.
