I don’t like Martha’s because kids can get strangled on closures that don’t release easy. I know a little boy that died that way.
HEre’s one better!

@ Aimee – see, and I’ve said something similar about the ottobre cape closure and suggested using a breakaway collar adaption or something, and I was pretty much mocked for being paranoid (on Craftster)! Geez! Clothing companies don’t even put ties on kids’ hoodies anymore for that reason.
