An article of clothing for an infant includes a body, such as a band, a
sock, a pair of pants, a shirt or a jumper, formed of one material and an
attached gripper member formed of another material having a greater
coefficient of friction than that of the first material. The gripper
member is positioned on an upper, bottom and/or side surface of a foot
portion, a knee area or an elbow area to assist a crawling or recently
walking infant. A pad can be superposed with the gripper member in the
knee area or the elbow area.
