Baby Boy Hoodies, Newborn to 24M

A hooded top for a baby boy is judged on two things: how easily it goes on, and how the hood behaves. For newborns through about 9 months, a full-zip wins over a pullover, since you lay him in it and zip rather than tug fabric over his head. Pullover hoods suit 12-24 months once he tolerates dressing. The hood should lie flat and low; a tall or stuffed hood pushes a baby's chin to his chest in a car seat and bunches behind his head against the headrest. By federal rule (CPSC), kids' hoods in these sizes carry no neck drawstrings, so look for a sewn elastic edge or plain hem. Soft cotton-fleece, French terry, and brushed-back blends keep him warm without overheating. Personalization is usually a small embroidered first name or number on the left chest, kept off the hood. Figure $26-$46 for a printed zip or pullover, $32-$56 for embroidered or applique work. Printed blanks often ship in 3-7 business days; custom names in 1-3 weeks.
