If you only need something for occasional use, getting something highly technical is less important, though you might want to look for a waterproof jacket that is not too bulky so it can be easily stuffed into a backpack or under a buggy.

In general, a very lightweight jacket is less durable—but more comfortable in the summer—than a heavy-duty one, which would hold up better under a heavy backpack during a serious expedition. One simple indicator of how robust the jacket is to check its actual weight, which will be measured in ounces. For example, a lightweight jacket could weigh just around 6 ounces, whereas a gnarly, heavyweight item could be over a pound.

While there’s also a Santa suit with decorative buttons and belts on offer, which is priced at £6.50 including a red Father Christmas bobble hat.

The word Nui means “important” in Maori, the native language of New Zealand. The founders of Nui believe that clean, safe clothing is a big, important think for little people. They state their desire to maintain the natural landscape by using organic materials and making quality clothing in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

Bash had no problem walking through winter slush in these waterproof, fleece-lined, super stylish duck boots. We especially love how the side zipper makes them so easy for our little guy to get them on and off by himself!

This is also important if they walk or cycle to school, and if they do you should also look out for waterproof jackets with reflective strips to keep them safe on and around busy roads.

When it comes to affordability H&M is the one to buy to fit in with any budget. For a luxury gift we love Mori’s zip-up styles and for somewhere in the middle Sleepy Doe’s fun styles are light, bright and modern.

As Alisa Baer, MD (awesome pediatrician and car seat safety expert behind The Car Seat Lady) explains on her site, most winter coats and snowsuits add about 4 inches of bulk to the car seat harness straps. Sleeping bags like the “Bundle Me” are also problematic because the thick layer behind the back adds extra slack to the harness.

“Adorable! My 2-year-old son wore this for Halloween and everyone loved it. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was constructed and stood up to being worn multiple times (at least four times over the course of one week). I like that my son was even able to walk around with the feet on (outside and inside). My only warning would be that this does run a little large. I bought a size down for my son and it fit him perfectly.”

Thomas Knox did that down in Key West, happily spending his Spring Break afternoons with a stick in his hands and wheels on his feet. Now, thanks to a rink bearing his name, kids from Central Ohio can do the same.
