Custom Baby and Toddler Apparel for Small Businesses: What You Can Actually Print

Small business owners search for custom baby apparel for two different reasons: they want a mini-me version of the company shirt for their own kid, or a customer keeps asking if the shop does toddler sizes. Bear Grips Pro Shops can answer both, with one honest caveat up front. We do not print true infant onesies or bodysuits. What the catalog does carry is a full youth-size line: tees, a performance tee, a long sleeve, a hoodie, a crewneck, mesh shorts, and an embroidered cap, all printed one piece at a time with no minimum order. Here is exactly what is available, what fabric holds up best on a toddler, and how to build a matching family set from the same shop you already run.

What Bear Grips Actually Prints for Toddlers and Young Kids

Seven pieces cover warm weather, cold weather, and an embroidered hat, every one printed or stitched to order.

Does Bear Grips Print Baby Onesies or Infant Bodysuits?

No. A onesie or infant bodysuit is a knit, snap-closure garment built by a specialty baby manufacturer, not a print-on-demand blank. We do not stock that construction. If a customer specifically asks for a onesie, the closest printable match in the catalog is the Youth Performance Long Sleeve or the Youth Airlume Cotton Tee. The custom baby onesie alternative guide walks through that swap in detail, including what age range youth sizing tends to fit.

What Fabric and Fit Work Best for Toddlers

• 100 percent cotton for daily wear, naptime, and daycare drop-off. The Youth Airlume Cotton Tee is the softest option in the catalog and the cheapest at $19.88 VIP base.
• Performance polyester for active kids and hot playgrounds. The Youth Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee wicks sweat and dries fast.
• Youth sizing runs smaller than adult sizing but is not the same as true infant sizing. There is no numeric toddler size (2T, 3T, 4T) listed in the catalog. Youth sizing is built for older kids, and the smallest youth cut may or may not fit a given toddler depending on the brand.

Building a Matching Family Set

The most common reason a small business orders toddler apparel is a matching set: the owner in an adult Airlume tee, the kid in the youth version, same logo, same colors. The same idea works for a gift or a family photo shirt. See matching family birthday sets for design ideas that translate directly to any occasion. A daycare, gym, or trade business can run the same play with a company logo instead of a birthday design.

How to Add a Baby and Toddler Line to Your Shop

1. Sign up for the Free plan ($0/mo, 3 live products) or Self-Service VIP ($59/mo, 200 products, lowest base prices).
2. Upload your logo or design as a transparent PNG.
3. Add the youth tee, hoodie, and cap first. Add the long sleeve, crewneck, and shorts once the first three sell.
4. Set your retail price. Default recommended profit is $10 per item, more on hoodies and crewnecks.
5. Share the link. Youth items sell well alongside the rest of your shop without any separate setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bear Grips make baby onesies?

No. Onesies and infant bodysuits are a knit, snap-closure garment made by specialty baby manufacturers, not something we print. The youth long sleeve and youth tee are the closest printable match.

What is the smallest size available?

Youth sizing varies by brand and piece. There is no listed true infant or toddler numeric size (2T-4T) in the catalog. Youth sizing is built for older kids, roughly preschool age and up depending on the cut.

Can I sell toddler shirts on the free plan?

Yes. The Free plan lists 3 live products at $0/mo, at a higher base price than VIP. Self-Service VIP unlocks 200 products at $59/mo with the lowest base prices in the catalog.

Do youth items cost more to print than adult sizes?

No. Most youth pieces are priced lower than their adult equivalent. The Youth Airlume Cotton Tee is $19.88 VIP base, the same starting price as the adult Airlume tee.
