Two baby overalls, two different jobs
Overalls Liz and Short Smækbuks Erik are both baby overalls from Wheat, but they are built for different conditions. Liz is a long-leg overall in brushed organic cotton with a signature print, sized from 62/3m to 92/2y. Erik is a short-leg, sleeveless overall in woven organic cotton canvas, listed in size 68/6m. The choice comes down to season, fabric weight and how much you want the overall to cover.
This comparison uses only the supplied product information. Where a detail is not listed, treat it as an open question rather than a feature.

How to choose between them
Start with the weather and the layer underneath. If you need an overall for cool days and want long legs over a bodysuit, Overalls Liz is the natural pick. Its brushed cotton and lining are described as ideal for gentler wear in cooler seasons. If you are dressing for warmth or want a short, sleeveless overall that leaves arms and lower legs bare, Short Smækbuks Erik fits that job.
Then check the size you need. Liz covers 62/3m through 92/2y, while Erik is only listed in 68/6m in the supplied information. If your baby is outside that size, Erik may not be available in the size you need. If you are unsure between sizes, remember both styles have adjustable straps and a crotch snap, but neither record gives a recommended age beyond the listed size labels.
Care labels that affect your choice
- Overalls Liz: Wash 30 normal, iron low, no tumble drying, no dryclean, do not bleach.
- Short Smækbuks Erik: Wash 40, iron medium, no tumble drying, no dryclean, do not bleach.
What the care difference means in practice
The two overalls have different washing temperatures. Liz is labeled wash 30 normal, while Erik is labeled wash 40. Follow the label on each garment rather than assuming one routine covers both. Both should be air-dried, not tumble-dried, and neither should be dry-cleaned or bleached. Iron Liz on low and Erik on medium. If you want a simple rule: wash Liz cooler and iron it more gently, and wash Erik warmer with a medium iron.
