Why We Recommend the Calikids Splash Suit for Daycare Kids

If your child is heading into daycare this year, you've probably already heard the phrase: "outdoor time - rain or shine." In Canadian daycare programs, kids are required to spend at least one hour outdoors every day, no matter what the weather looks like. (Yes, even when it's really coming down.)

That means you need more than just a raincoat and boots - you need a full - body solution that actually keeps them dry, from hood to toe.

At Little Treasures Kids, we’ve seen (and tested) quite a few rain suits over the years, but the one we stand behind - and proudly carry in - store - is the Calikids Waterproof Splash Suit.

🌧️ Why We Love the Calikids Splash Suit

✅ Daycare - Ready Design
The Calikids suit is lightweight but fully waterproof, with heat - sealed seams to stop leaks. It’s easy to move in and not overly bulky, which makes it ideal for active toddlers running, jumping, and climbing at daycare.

✅ Reflective Details for Safety
Especially helpful during cloudy morning drop - offs and early evening pickups - this thoughtful feature gives parents peace of mind.

✅ Easy for Daycare Staff
The front zipper makes it quick to get on and off, which daycare teachers really appreciate (especially with a room full of squirmy kids!).

✅ More Colour Options = Fewer Mix - Ups
Let’s be real - everyone seems to have a navy or yellow rain suit. But Calikids offers a wider range of fun colours and prints, so it’s easier to spot your child’s suit in the sea of cubbies. Fewer mix - ups = fewer headaches.

✅ True Canadian Brand
Designed with our climate in mind - from the Vancouver drizzle to Ontario's wet spring mornings, Calikids is made for our kids and our weather.

So... what about Muddy Buddy?

The Tuffo Muddy Buddy is another solid rain suit, but at Little Treasures Kids, we’ve chosen to carry Calikids because it fits better, wears better, and comes in way more colors and sizes, making it easier to match your child’s style and fit their specific daycare needs.

Plus, daycare staff often prefer suits that are a little less bulky and easier to manage during those hectic coat - and - boot transitions - and that’s exactly what Calikids offers.
