Things to consider when buying a toddler football kit
Size - When purchasing a football kit for toddlers, it's important to consider the size. Seeing as toddlers grow out of clothes quickly, you may want to size up on their football merch, that way you can be sure it will last them for a couple of seasons at least.
Team - Pick a kit that represents their favourite team, whether it's a home or away kit. They may want one that matches with you or their siblings or friends, or perhaps they'd prefer to match with their favourite player.
Style - If they're not supporting a particular team yet and just want a kit purely based on the colours and design, let them choose one themselves. Why not pair it with a pair oftoddler football boots for ultimate cuteness?
Material - If they're going to be running around the kit and wearing it all day it has to be breathable and comfy!
Budget - If you're working with a set budget, there are plenty of last season kits that are often cheaper than ones for the current season (if your little doesn't mind).
