Every Super Hero Needs A Cape


Who doesn’t love superheroes? They’re brave! Powerful! Have civic pride! And they wear really kick-ass costumes. But there’s something creepy about buying a plastic outfit for your child at Wal-Mart and watching him transform into a pint-size version of Batman or Spider-Man. Wouldn’t it be great if you could encourage superhero play without encouraging your child to worship a trademarked character who kills people?

Baby Leo Designs makes it so. Baby Leo’s capes are handcrafted by a San Francisco mom and made to last of heavy satin, lined with whisper-soft velvet chamois and decorated with zippy and inspiring wool felt graphics. Fastening at the neck with a heavy snap, the capes billow out satisfyingly behind a faster-than-a-speeding-bullet kids. No one could fail to feel super in these, a best-seller at just about every Bay Area boutique that carries them. You can now find the entire line at Giggle Bug Boutique.

Our little guy is completely enthralled with super powers these days. It's so fun to watch his little imagination create magic as he puts his little super hero costume on. His BabyLegs give him super strong muscles. His Bugaboo Shoes apparently make him so light on his feet, that he can fly. Poor Polo, our old K9, has become his sidekick, and together they will conquer the world saving everyone who may need it! Have no fear!!! And to complete the ensemble, I have combed the world, literally, to find the best cape designer. I believe I have done it with Baby Leo Designs.

My very first impression of the Baby Leo Designs cape was just how fabulously it's made. It's much more of a luxury blanket quality than dress up clothes. Actually the cape does function very well as a travel blanket as you can just unhook the cape when your little super hero gets tired and throw it over them for snuggling. I mean what little boy/girl would not love to go to sleep with his/her cape by their side?

What really struck me though is the actual emblem on the cape, the black background has glitter which really gives it a little extra something. A boy or a girl would absolutely love to have it. I'm still totally blown away by the quality.

The capes come in two sizes, the Super Hero and the Sidekick. The Super Hero is made for kids up to 10 years old, and the Sidekick is more suitable for ages 2-4. You can see the entire line of capes, as well as many other fun accessories to complete your Super Outfit at Giggle Bug Boutique.
