Target is getting creative and including a little inclusivity to their shelves.
The company has just announced they are expanding their kids’ clothing line, Cat & Jack, which will include a line of adaptive apparel made especially for kids and toddlers living with disabilities.
Target began to address the special apparel needs of kids living with disabilities back in August with a line of clothing which was made without itchy tags or scratchy seams meant to help keep sensory-sensitive kids happy.
Now, the company is taking Cat & Jack a step further – to include 40 items which will include:
puffer jackets leggings, hoodies, and more items which are all meant to keep kids looking on trend.
The clothing line promises to be good-looking and affordable and designed with kids living with disabilities in mind.
That also means diaper-friendly leggings which will come in all sizes, side or back snaps, and zip closures, and zip-off sleeves to make getting dressed easier for kids and the parents helping them.
The clothes are said to be available online at Target.com only beginning October 22.

A weekend party in Houston turned scary when a toddler ended up at the bottom of a pool, but thankfully – it was a little girl who jumped in and saved him.
Sofia Patel started swimming early in her life.
“It was hard at first,” admitted the 7-year-old swimmer.
She started attending lessons at Houston Swim Club in Pearland at just 3 years of age, never imagining the skills she learned would save someone’s life.
“When I saw him I said, ‘I need to save that kid because no one else could save him’ because I was underwater at that moment,” she said.
The second-grade girl was at a weekend party at a neighbor’s home when the toddler fell in the pool.
“I went underwater and grabbed him with this hand and then I got him to a low step because, I couldn’t carry him no more and then the adults came and did everything else,” said Sofia.

The toddler’s parents started performing CPR and it wasn’t until an ambulance came, Sofia’s parents learned how much her swimming skills actually paid off.
“The mother of the little boy came over and gave Sofia a hug and said ‘Thank you for saving my little boy’s life’ and we were like what? My daughter did that,” said Tejal Patel, Sofia’s mother.
“It felt awesome because I could finally put my swimming lessons to use for once,” said Sofia.
Back in the pool, she’s still sharpening her skills and thankful what she’s learning came in handy.
“It makes me happy that I saved someone’s life,” she said.
The toddler’s family has asked not to be identified but they told reporters they’re incredibly grateful for the brave actions of the girl that saved their little boy’s life
