Vanessa and Bob here. We picked these pieces because muslin holds up to everyday toddler wear: crawling, climbing, and the usual messy play. Muslin's loose weave gives a little, which matters when the knees and shoulders are doing all the work.
Buying guide
For a toddler who won't stop moving, reach for muslin cotton pants or a romper: both give full freedom at the knees for crawling and climbing. The loose muslin weave stays breathable and gets softer with every wash, so it keeps up with a long, busy day.

Full coverage for the knees through crawling and climbing, with a soft waist that doesn't fight a squat.
One piece, so nothing bunches up or comes untucked mid-climb, and it's quick on and off for a fast change.
Looks like a skirt but has shorts built in underneath, so she can climb or sit on the ground without a second thought.
A plain skirt works best layered over pants or leggings on climbing days, and on its own it's right for a walk or a spin around the yard.
Yes. The open weave is lightweight and breathable, and it softens more with every wash, so it keeps up with a kid who's constantly in motion.
Wash cold on a gentle cycle and skip the fabric softener. Tumble dry low or hang to dry, and expect some creasing, that's just how the weave behaves.
