Target Adapted Clothing Line, Our Experience

Target now has a line of adapted clothing which includes items for those with sensory issues as well as items with feeding tube openings and those with more room in the bottom for diapers.  The line is Cat and Jack which has sizes up to XXL which means Junior can even wear them.  Best of all the prices are very reasonable and comparable to their typical clothes prices. Cat and Jack adaptive clothing.  
Way to go Target, I hope more variety will be added to the clothing line and we will definitely be ordering again.

We ordered a few items and Junior tried them today.  After trying on the sweat pants I went back to the Target website today and sweat pants are no longer available. I really hope they are just sold out and will be back again soon.
With the extra room in the tush Junior could easily wear the size XXL youth and could likely also wear the XL youth without an issue.  He also  tried a XL youth size onesie which fit well and we could actually have gone down to a L.
The onesie has two layers, the layer that has the snaps and then a second layer that makes it look like the child is wearing a typical tshirt.  The bottom layer has a g tube opening on each side so you can access the tube easily. We put it over Junior's back brace which worked really well and the sweat pants were big enough to go over his brace.

 Junior trying on the sweat pants, these are over the top of his back brace and as you can see he still has plenty of room in them.  Typically if pants fit him they are much too snug at the top to put over his brace and we have to put the brace over the top of them.
 The onesie, we have the top layer pulled up to show the feeding tube opening.
 Top layer pulled down so it looks like a typical tshirt.
 Sitting up in his wheelchair.  The onesie is keeping his back brace covered which will help keep him warmer in the winter.  Typically when I put him in his wheelchair his shirt comes up on the sides and it is a struggled to keep it pulled down. 
 The top layer pulled up so I can connect his feeding tube. I had been concerned the feeding tube opening would be too small to make it really accessible but it worked perfectly.
  Someone likes their new sweat pants and t-shirt. 

  I did wash the clothes before he tried them on and they still looked new after washing.  Time will tell on how they hold up to repeated wash and wear.
We also ordered a sweatshirt which has a feeding tube opening but haven't tried it yet.
