Secondly, you need to make sure their trousers and coat are waterproof as the winter is set to be damp and also kids love to hurl themselves in the snow or puddles. Waterproof clothing will ensure they keep dry eliminating the risk of them getting the shivers or that terrible tickly cough. Getting an outfit with these two vital features will guarantee less money spent on cold-curing lotions and potions, trips to the doctor’s practice and more happy healthy little ones.
When buying children’s waterproof clothing, checking if the garment is made for layering underneath is essential. If there is room to fit other layers underneath it’s a keeper as it allows your child to stay super warm but also be able to move comfortably and flexibly.
Having a hood is a must as we lose 40-45% body heat through our head. Yep, you read that correctly! Zips are better than buttons as they’re quick and easy. An all in one garment is great for children as they remain flexible and no skin can get exposed, have a look at this cosy all-in-one winter outfit here.
