Rated 5.0 / 5 · 200+ Verified Customer Reviews
When you're buying pajamas for a baby or a toddler — especially as a gift — you want to know one thing before you click checkout: is this actually as soft and well-made as it looks?
We could tell you yes. But we'd rather let the 200+ verified customers who've left us five-star reviews tell you instead. Every quote below comes from a real, verified purchase, exactly as the customer wrote it. You can browse every single one on our customer reviews page.
"Much softer than I expected" — the thing everyone mentions first
We build everything from premium bamboo viscose because it's breathable, stretchy, and unbelievably soft against little skin. But "bamboo" on a product page is an abstraction — here's how it lands in real nurseries:
5.0"These are the cutest PJ's! They are much softer than I expected!"
— LA H., Mississippi State Bulldogs Two-Piece Pajama Set
5.0"Great quality, super soft, exactly as pictured, but better! Oh, and fast shipping!"
— Cody, LSU Tigers Two-Piece Pajama Set
5.0"So soft. Great quality. I'm so glad I got it before it sold out. Go Hoosiers!"
— Madison R., Indiana Hoosiers Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
5.0"Softest cutest pajamas! Definitely a family favorite"
— Amy B., Missouri Tigers Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
And our favorite backhanded compliment we've ever received:
5.0"Great product! Wish they made adult jammies this comfortable!!! Awesome fast shipping"
— Robert, Ohio State Buckeyes Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
(We hear you, Robert. No promises… yet.)
The baby shower gift that steals the show
A huge share of our orders are gifts — baby showers, new grandbabies, birthdays, and "just because Grandma saw it and couldn't resist." If you've ever wanted to be the person whose gift gets held up for the whole room to see, this is the pattern our reviewers describe over and over:
5.0"This is so cute! Pictures don't do it justice! I gave this as a shower gift to a Bulldog graduate and oh my goodness...it was a HIT!"
— April P., Mississippi State Bulldogs Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
5.0"Super soft PJs that made a great matching gift for new Big Brother and Little Sister!"
— Ashlie, Penn State Nittany Lions Two-Piece Pajama Set
5.0"So cute, my grandsons will love them! Go Tigers"
— Lawrie, Clemson Tigers Two-Piece Pajama Set
5.0"Bought these for my Granddaughter Anna. She and I both love them."
— Tammara C., Texas A&M Aggies Two-Piece Pajama Set
Grandparents, you may be our most loyal fans — and the reviews show it. Nothing makes us happier than a review like this one:
5.0"Love them! My granddaughter outgrew her first set, so it was time for new ones"
— Diane T., Penn State Nittany Lions Two-Piece Pajama Set
Outgrowing a set and coming back for the next size up is the highest compliment in kids' clothing. It's also exactly why families like Megan's plan ahead:
5.0"We love this set! We plan to buy all sizes as our boys get older. Great quality, love that the colors are the real deal Clemson colors."
— Megan S., Clemson Tigers Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
Fit, sizing, and what happens if you guess wrong
Sizing little ones is hard — they grow overnight, and every brand runs differently. Reviewers consistently describe our fit as true to size with plenty of stretch:
5.0"Excellent fit, softness, stretch, and design. Our little guy loves it!"
— Jennifer, Maryland Terrapins Two-Piece Pajama Set
5.0"My grandsons love the cute hockey pattern and how soft these pajamas are! They run true to size."
— Lisa M., Hockey Two-Piece Pajama Set
And when the size isn't right? Exchanges are free — and we mean it:
5.0"Super cute and comfy. Had to exchange for a smaller size. My grandchildren are petite and they run a bit big in my opinion. Customer service was great and they exchanged and paid for the shipping."
— Amy, LSU Tigers Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
If you're between sizes, our size guide will get you close — and if it's still not perfect, we'll make it right at no cost to you.
Ordered Tuesday, snuggling by the weekend
Flat $5 shipping, fast turnaround, and a website that doesn't make you work for it — small things that show up in reviews constantly:
5.0"Great website, easy to navigate, and had what I wanted in stock. PLUS, quick shipping without extra cost."
— April P.
5.0"Extremely fast shipping, easy to navigate the website, great quality."
— Megan S.
5.0"Easy to use website and fast service, here before Christmas!"
— Colleen M.
5.0"A+ quality and expedient delivery - we will be repeat customers. Go Terps!"
— Andrew, Maryland Terrapins Two-Piece Pajama Set
Go Blue. Go Green. Gig 'em. On Wisconsin.
Here's the part that makes us smile the most. Our customers don't just review pajamas — they sign off like they're leaving the stadium:
5.0"Love it! It's so soft and cute. Go blue!"
— Lauren B., Michigan Wolverines Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
5.0"Perfect fit and soft and lovely fabric! Love it! Go Green!"

5.0"These Husker pajamas are so soft and perfect for my toddler! Comfy for bedtime and adorable for cheering on the Huskers this football and volleyball season. GBR!"
— Alexa D., Nebraska Cornhuskers Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
5.0"Perfect!! So soft! Fit great! She looked so cute! Go Hoosiers! Excellent quality!"
— Shawn C., Indiana Hoosiers Zippy One-Piece Sleeper
That's the whole idea behind Tailgate Tikes. Team pride isn't something kids age into — it's something families pass down, from the tailgate lot to the bedtime routine. Every set we make is officially licensed, printed in true team colors, and designed so your littlest fan is part of game day from kickoff to lights out.
How we earn reviews like these
We don't buy reviews, and we don't cherry-pick which verified reviews get published. Every review above came from a confirmed purchase through our store, collected automatically after delivery. The consistency you see — softness, quality, fit, fast shipping — isn't an accident. It's the result of a few deliberate choices:
Premium bamboo viscose in every stitch. Breathable, gentle, and stretchy enough to survive a toddler touchdown dance. Learn more about why we chose bamboo.
Officially licensed, always. Real marks, real team colors, approved by each university — never knockoff "team-inspired" prints.
Free returns and exchanges. Kids grow. Sizes get guessed. We fix it at no cost, every time.
Founded by parents. We're a women-owned brand started by parents of twins who wanted game-day gear soft enough for actual sleep. We test everything on our own crew first.
