Best in Class: babyGap Triple-Roll Socks

There are organic socks, designer socks, and quite likely even socks that promise to help your little crawler learn how to walk sooner. But for busy mothers who want socks that are functional, easy to find, and budget-friendly, head to babyGap for their triple-roll socks ($3 or 5/$10).

Available in sizes 0-6 months through 4-5 years), these socks come in a variety of styles and colors including stripes, eyelet or pointelle, and all come with a reliable gripper logo on the sole. They’re made of 79% cotton plus some polyester so even after numerous spins through the washing machine they still don’t slide down your child’s ankle (but don’t leave an imprint on those chubby little legs!)
