I have two sons and going clothes shopping for them has always been a relatively easy 3-step process: Go to Target, buy a stack of $3.99 t-shirts and $5.99 shorts/pants, go home happy.

I've got it easy. But I feel for my friends with young daughters. When you have Beyonce trying to dress little girls in bootylicious fashion you know there's a problem in toddler/preschooler apparel.

There's the issue of dressing toddlers and preschoolers like sexy vixens. Can we all agree that is just wrong?

And then there's the issue that much of the attire sold for girls in this age bracket is completely impractical. Tight, slim jeans for toddler girls who are on the move? Peep toe wedges?

It's enough to make you think that little girls don't like to run around and play.

Mike Adamick over at Strollerderby cries foul. As a dad to a toddler daughter, he believes this issue with girl's clothes is "quiet playground sexism." Boys clothes is made for rough, messy play. Girls clothes? Dainty, fitted and designed for girls to "stand there, twirl their hair and watch" the boys play.

He writes:

"I don't have a problem with pink and can't wait until she can help me sew her dresses. But for now, the kid just likes to play, and play hard. And these Carrie Bradshaw-in-a-romper get-ups don't let her. Worse, they could injure her. When are we going to realize that young girls like to play just as much as young boys?"

Moms and dads to toddler girls -- are you having the same problem finding clothes that allow your little ones to run around and play? Where do you shop and what are some of your top picks?
