Love these
Size: 7-8 Years, Color: Blue
These are great! My son is autistic and has issues with textures of clothing. I ordered these hoping they could be a soft pair of jeans that he would love. And he does love them they are just like all of his other really soft pants but they're nice little jeans so he can wear jeans too! If you're thinking about getting them as a soft pair of jeans for someone you know it's worth it.

Decent jeans but sizing could be better
Size: 9-10 Years, Color: Deep Blue
The jeans look nice and the fabric is soft and stretchy, but the sizing runs a bit off. They’re a bit loose around the waist. Good for casual wear, but not a perfect fit.

Comfy, stretchy, and perfect for active kids!
These jogger-style jeans are great for my boy. They look like jeans but feel as comfortable as sweatpants, thanks to the super stretchy material. The relaxed fit gives plenty of room to move, and the pockets are actually useful — not tiny decorative ones. They’re easy for kids to pull on themselves and hold up well during play and in the wash. Perfect everyday pants for school or casual outings!
