KIDSCOOL SPACE Girl Denim Overalls Review: solid everyday dungarees with a few weak spots

I got these KIDSCOOL SPACE girl denim overalls in the 13–14 years size, deep blue colour, for a tall pre-teen who lives in jeans and hoodies. Idea was simple: something she can throw on for school, playing outside, or helping in the garden without worrying about wrecking her clothes. I wasn’t expecting designer quality, just something that fits, survives the wash, and doesn’t itch or pinch.

Out of the bag, my first impression was pretty positive: the denim feels like medium weight, not super stiff, and there’s a bit of stretch so it doesn’t feel like cardboard. The style is quite classic: big bib pocket in front, ripped details but nothing too wild, and a dark blue wash that goes with pretty much any T‑shirt. It looks like what you’d expect from kids’ overalls bought online: decent, simple, no big surprises.

After a couple of weeks of use (school days, weekend trips to the park, a few wash cycles), the overall verdict is that they’re good for everyday wear, but there are clearly some corners cut. The main weak point is hardware: the metal buttons/clasps don’t feel as solid as the fabric itself. This matches what some Amazon reviews say about buttons popping off early, and I can see why. Nothing broke on ours yet, but they don’t inspire huge confidence when you handle them.

So, if you’re looking for bulletproof workwear, this isn’t it. But if you want affordable, decent-looking overalls that your kid can wear regularly without you stressing too much, they get the job done. Just be prepared to maybe fix or reinforce a button at some point, and don’t expect premium finishing touches.

Looking at the overall package – fabric, design, comfort, and the small flaws – I’d say these KIDSCOOL SPACE overalls offer good value for money, especially if you catch them at a reasonable price on Amazon. They’re not dirt cheap, but they’re clearly positioned in that mid-range where you expect better than supermarket quality without paying branded store prices. Given the 4.4/5 average rating and a lot of positive comments about fit and quality, I’m not shocked: for most people, they simply do the job.

Where the value shows is in the fabric and comfort. You’re getting a medium-weight, stretchy denim that feels nicer than some of the really low-end kids’ jeans out there. For a kid who wears them often, that matters more than fancy branding. The cut is modern enough (slim, ripped details) that older kids don’t feel like they’re wearing baby clothes, which helps avoid daily arguments about outfits. And since they’re machine washable and don’t need any special care, they fit easily into normal family life.

On the downside, you have to factor in the potential cost of minor repairs. If a button pops off, you either need to fix it yourself or pay a couple of euros to have it reattached or replaced. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s something to keep in mind compared to slightly more expensive overalls with stronger hardware. Also, the slim fit means they might not work for every body type, so there’s a small risk of having to return or exchange if the cut isn’t right.

Overall, I’d say: if you want stylish enough, comfortable, and reasonably durable overalls for a kid who’ll outgrow them in a year or two, the value is pretty solid. If you’re looking for something to pass down to several siblings or to survive heavy-duty use, you might want to invest in a more robust brand. For typical school and weekend wear, though, these are a practical compromise between price and quality.

The design is pretty straightforward: classic dungarees with a slim fit. There’s a big front bib pocket that’s actually usable – my tester stuffed tissues, hair ties, and random small toys in there without anything falling out. The side pockets are deep enough for a kid’s hands or a small phone, and the back pockets are standard jean-style. Nothing innovative, but it all works. The ripped details on the legs are mostly decorative – they’re not huge holes, so you’re not exposing skin everywhere, which is good for school and cooler weather.

The straps are adjustable with metal hooks, which is essential with kids who grow every five minutes. You get some room to raise or lower the bib as they grow taller or if they like wearing thicker hoodies underneath. The downside is that the hardware doesn’t feel super solid. You can feel a bit of flex when you pull on the straps, and that lines up with some reviews mentioning buttons popping off on first wear. On ours, nothing failed yet, but I can easily imagine a rough kid yanking one strap and snapping a button.

I like that the waist has some elastic inside, which helps avoid that baggy, saggy look you often get with kids’ overalls. On a slim kid, it sits decently at the hips without gaping too much at the back. The style is definitely more slim than baggy, so if your child is on the wider or stronger-built side, you might want to size up or choose a different cut. It’s not super forgiving around the hips and thighs compared to looser workwear-style dungarees.

In terms of look, they’re pretty neutral: dark blue, no huge logos, just a basic denim wash with some rips. This makes them easy to pair with plain T‑shirts, sweaters, or hoodies. My tester wore them with a simple white tee and trainers, and it looked like a normal, casual outfit – nothing flashy, but not boring either. So overall, design is functional and kid-friendly, with the only real concern being the slightly flimsy hardware that might not survive very rough treatment over time.

On the comfort side, these overalls do their job. My tester wore them for full school days and weekend play, and there were no complaints about itching, rubbing, or pinching. The inside of the denim is fairly soft, and the bit of stretch helps a lot when kids are sitting on the floor, climbing, or running around. Compared to stiff, non-stretch denim overalls we’ve had before, these are clearly easier to move in and less likely to cause the classic “I can’t bend my knees” whining.

The slim fit is both a plus and a minus for comfort. On a slim or average build, they sit nicely without huge folds of fabric bunching up. The elastic at the waist helps them stay in place, so the bib doesn’t pull down when the kid sits. But if your child has wider hips or stronger legs, this cut might feel tight, especially around the thighs. It’s not the kind of dungarees you can just size exactly to age and assume it will fit anyone – body shape matters here. I’d say if you’re between sizes, go up rather than down for the sake of comfort.

Straps are adjustable, which is key. We had to tweak them a couple of times to find the sweet spot where the bib isn’t choking the neck but also not hanging too low. Once adjusted, they stayed in place reasonably well, but again, the hardware doesn’t feel super robust. If a kid keeps yanking the straps off and on, I can see that becoming annoying. Still, day-to-day, my tester forgot she was even wearing overalls, which is usually a good sign that comfort is fine.

Temperature-wise, the medium-weight fabric works in most seasons. It’s not lined, so in winter it’s not enough alone, but with a thick jumper and maybe leggings underneath, it’s okay. In summer, on very hot days, it might feel a bit too warm, but that’s true for most denim. Overall, I’d say comfort is one of the strong points: as long as you get the right size and your kid doesn’t hate the feel of denim, they can easily wear these all day without fuss.

The brand says these overalls are pure cotton denim with medium stretch, and that lines up with how they feel in hand. The fabric is not super heavy like true workwear denim, but it’s not thin jegging material either. I’d call it medium weight, good for most of the year. For winter, you’d want tights or leggings underneath, but for spring, autumn, and even cooler summer days, it’s fine on its own.

What I liked is that the denim has a bit of give without feeling like plastic. Some cheap stretchy jeans feel almost rubbery – that’s not the case here. You can bend, squat, run, and the fabric moves with the kid instead of cutting into the knees. After a few washes (30°C machine wash, standard detergent, no special treatment), the material softened a bit more but didn’t go limp or saggy. The colour faded slightly, but nothing dramatic; the dark blue wash is still there, just a bit more lived-in, which actually looks better in my opinion.

Stitching is okay but not bulletproof. The main seams are straight and there are no obvious loose threads out of the bag, but if you look closely at the stress areas (around the buttons and the sides of the bib), you can see this isn’t premium construction. I didn’t have seams ripping, but considering some reviews about buttons popping off, I’d say the fabric itself is more trustworthy than the hardware. If you’re handy with a needle, it might be worth reinforcing the button areas before your kid starts abusing them.

Overall, the material quality is pretty solid for the price range. The denim feels like it can handle regular school wear, playground time, and weekly washing without falling apart immediately. It’s not industrial-grade, but compared to other budget kids’ jeans I’ve tried, this sits on the better side. If these overalls fail, I’d bet it’ll be because of the metal parts, not the denim itself.

Durability is where these overalls are a bit mixed. After several wears and washes, the denim itself is holding up well. No holes, no weird thinning at the knees yet, and the seams are still intact. My tester is not super gentle – there was playground climbing, sliding on the floor, and general kid chaos – and the fabric has taken it in stride. The ripped details haven’t spread or torn further, which is good because on some cheap jeans those decorative rips become real holes very quickly.

The problem area is clearly the buttons and metal hardware. While mine haven’t broken so far, you can feel and see that they’re on the lighter, cheaper side. Some Amazon reviews mention buttons popping off on first or early use, and honestly, that doesn’t surprise me. When you unhook and hook the straps, there’s a bit of flex in the metal, and the attachment point doesn’t look heavily reinforced. If your kid tends to pull hard on their clothes, I’d almost expect at least one button failure at some point.

Wash-wise, they survived standard machine washing with no major shrinkage or twisting. I didn’t baby them: normal cycle, 30°C, then air-dried. The colour faded only slightly, mostly in the areas you’d expect (knees, seams). No weird twisting at the legs or waistband, which is something I’ve seen with cheaper denim. The stitching hasn’t unravelled anywhere yet, though I did notice a couple of tiny loose threads after the second wash – nothing dramatic, but it shows the quality level.

So, in terms of durability, I’d summarise it like this: the fabric is decent, the construction is okay, the hardware is questionable. For the price, they’re fine for a season or two of regular wear. If you want something that will last through multiple kids or heavy-duty farm work, this isn’t that. But for normal school and weekend use, and considering how fast kids grow, the lifespan is acceptable – just keep a sewing kit or spare buttons handy in case one of the originals gives up.

In terms of presentation, there’s nothing fancy here. The overalls arrive in a basic plastic bag, folded up, no special branding or extras. Honestly, for kids’ dungarees, that’s fine by me. I’d rather they put the money into decent fabric and stitching than into a pretty box that ends up in the bin. Still, if you’re expecting something gift-ready, you’ll probably want to re-pack it yourself.

The model I tested is the 13–14 years, deep blue-2262, which is a slim style with ripped details on the legs. The colour is a classic dark blue, not too bright, with a washed effect that makes it look a bit worn‑in from day one. It doesn’t look cheap or shiny, which is good. There’s a large bib pocket on the chest, two side pockets, and back pockets – basically everything you’d expect from standard denim overalls. The elastic waistband inside is a nice touch; it helps them fit a bit better on kids who are skinny or in between sizes.

Fit-wise, they are described as slim and medium waist, and that’s accurate. On a tall, slim 12–13-year-old, the length was spot on, maybe even a bit long, but that’s easy to fix by rolling the cuffs. If your kid is on the shorter side for 13–14, expect to fold the bottom. Compared to some other cheap kids’ denim I’ve bought on Amazon, the sizing here is more honest: it doesn’t feel two sizes smaller than the label, which happens way too often.

Overall, the presentation is basic but practical: you get what’s shown in the pictures, no weird surprises with colour or cut. It’s clearly budget to mid-range, but for everyday school and play clothes, that feels about right. Just don’t expect boutique-level packaging or any kind of premium unboxing experience – this is straight-to-the-point, pull-it-out-and-wear-it type of product.
