Shop TubeWear™ and LineWear™

It opens completely flat

Most children's clothes go on over the head, or the arms thread through the sleeves first. Neither works well when there is a tube or a line involved.

Lay this one open, lay your child down on top of it, bring the sides up and fasten. Nothing passes over the head. Nothing has to be lifted.

The pocket that holds the line

The PediaPouch™ keeps tubing gathered against the body, under the fabric, out of reach. Snap flaps open for feeds and site checks without a full change of clothes — and the moisture-resistant lining means a leak doesn't become one.

And the sleeve opens too


An arm line is the other thing you have to reach, and most adaptive clothing forgets it. Dual Arm Access™ opens along the inner bend of each sleeve, so an arm line can be reached without pushing a sleeve up over a dressing — a peripheral IV, a blood draw, a pulse ox probe. Every garment has it, whichever line you are managing.

Every garment, all five features

  • PediaPouch™

    Interior pocket, moisture-resistant lined. Holds tubing or lumens against the body, with snap-flap access.

  • RoutePoints™

    Single snaps at the shoulder and lower back that guide tubing or leads down and away, loosely, so nothing dangles at hand height.

  • Dual Arm Access™

    Snap opening along the inner bend of both sleeves. Reach an IV, PICC, or blood draw without pushing a sleeve over a dressing.

  • Opens Flat

    Lay it open, lay your child on it, fasten. The difference between a two-person job and a one-person job.

  • Metal-Free

    Resin snaps throughout. Nothing to set off a scanner, press cold against skin, or rust in the wash. MRI and CT safe.

Two systems, four garments

Which one fits your child

One decision: where does the line come out.

TubeWear™ for G and J tubes. The PediaPouch™ sits over the abdomen, at the tube site.

LineWear™ for central lines. The PediaPouch™ sits at the chest, at the exit site.

Everything else is the same in both. The pouch is lined with moisture-resistant fabric. RoutePoints™ guide the line down and away at the shoulder and lower back.

Dual Arm Access™ opens both sleeves along the inner bend, so an arm line can be reached without disturbing a dressing.

Gowns Newborn–12M. Bodysuits 6M–5T. Calm Mint Edition and Sky Lullaby Edition.

We Started From the Other End

Most children's clothing is designed to be put on. Almost none of it is designed to be opened.

That is a small distinction until your child has a feeding tube or a central line. Then it is the difference between reaching a site in ten seconds and undressing a sleeping baby at 3 a.m.

What already existed was access added to a garment that had already been designed — a snap here, an opening there. We started at the other end. Not how does a child get into this, but where does the tubing sit, how does it travel, and where do a caregiver's hands need to be. The garment came second.

Everything followed from that.

The PediaPouch™ holds the line where it belongs — against the body, under the fabric, out of reach — with snap flaps that open for feeds and site checks without a change of clothes. It is lined with moisture-resistant fabric, because sites leak and nobody had decided that was the clothing's problem to solve.

RoutePoints™ answer the next question: where does the line go from there. Single snaps at the shoulder and the lower back guide tubing or leads down and away, loosely, so nothing dangles at hand height.

Dual Arm Access™ opens along the inner bend of both sleeves — for a PICC, an IV, a blood draw — without pushing a sleeve up over a dressing. Both sleeves, so it does not matter which arm.

And every garment opens completely flat. Lay it down, lay your child on it, fasten. No lifting, no threading arms, nothing over the head. The difference between a two-person job and a one-person job.

Resin snaps throughout. No metal anywhere, so nothing sets off a scanner or comes off before a scan.
