Yes. Tailgate Tikes is an officially licensed collegiate brand, currently licensed for 24 college and university programs. Every licensed product is authorized to use the university's names, logos, and trademarks, and each design goes through the university's official artwork approval process before it's ever produced. When you shop with us, you're getting authentic, university-approved gear — and a portion of every sale supports the schools through licensing royalties.

Tailgate Tikes offers officially licensed collections for a range of colleges and universities, and availability can change as styles and sizes sell through. For the most current team lineup, visit our Collegiate Collection page to see all available schools and in-stock styles.

Tailgate Tikes offers sizes from newborn through youth, covering babies, toddlers, and big kids. Our zippy one-piece sleepers are designed for babies and our two-piece pajama sets for toddlers and up, with size availability varying by style and team. For the best fit, check our Size Guide and the size options listed on each product page.

For the best fit, start with your child's height and weight and compare them to our Size Guide. Like most children's sleepwear, our pajamas are designed to fit snugly — a closer fit is normal and is part of how children's sleepwear is designed to meet U.S. safety requirements, so don't be surprised if they fit trimmer than everyday clothes. If your child is between sizes or you need help choosing between styles, contact us before ordering and we'll be happy to help.

Our styles fit true to size based on our Size Guide, with one thing to know: like most children's sleepwear, they're designed to fit snugly rather than loose, so they'll feel trimmer than everyday play clothes. That's normal and intentional. For the best fit, match your child's measurements to the size guide rather than buying by age alone, since fit can vary slightly by child and by style.

Our sleepers and pajama sets are made from 95% bamboo viscose and 5% spandex. Bamboo viscose (also called rayon from bamboo) is a silky-soft fabric made from bamboo plants — it's the buttery softness our pajamas are known for. When you see "bamboo" anywhere on our site, that's the fabric we mean.

Our fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, which means it has been independently tested for harmful substances. Every product also meets applicable U.S. children's sleepwear safety requirements, and full fiber content is listed on each product page and sewn-in label.

Our zippy one-piece sleepers are one-piece sleepwear designed for babies — the zipper makes dressing and middle-of-the-night diaper changes simple while keeping little ones covered and cozy from neck to toe. Our two-piece pajama sets offer separate top-and-bottom styling for toddlers and big kids, with the room to move, layer, and get comfortable that older kids prefer at bedtime.

Wash Tailgate Tikes bamboo viscose sleepwear on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. For best results, line dry when possible or tumble dry on low, and avoid bleach and fabric softeners. For full details, see our Wash & Care guide.

Shipping is a $5 flat rate within the 48 contiguous United States, no minimum order required. For Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and international destinations, shipping rates vary and are calculated at checkout based on your address.

We accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery on unworn, unwashed items in original packaging with tags attached and proof of purchase — and we cover the return shipping.

Yes. Every Tailgate Tikes product is independently tested by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory and meets applicable U.S. children's product safety requirements, including the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and federal children's sleepwear standards. Each product carries the required tracking label, and a Children's Product Certificate is maintained for every style. Our bamboo viscose fabric is also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, meaning it has been independently tested for harmful substances.
