Winter games in the fresh air with your child will only be a joy if a properly selected winter jacket protects your little one from the cold wind and frosty air. So, if the toddler has already crossed the three-year line of life, then it is worth buying for him for winter walks not a solid one, but a separate overalls or a winter jacket.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a jacket that is slightly larger than the baby usually wears, since in winter you will need to wear a warm sweater or jacket under the outerwear. In addition, if a tight winter jacket hinders movement, it will cause inconvenience during outdoor games. And the absence of an air gap between the sweater and the jacket will contribute to the rapid freezing of the child. The product should reach the baby at least up to the thigh line.
Step 2
When choosing, pay special attention to the fact that the jacket could be tightened along the bottom edge or at the level of the waist with ties. This will prevent cold air from entering under the jacket and keep more heat in the baby's body.
Step 3
Buy a winter jacket made of hypoallergenic materials, which should also be breathable to prevent unwanted sweating of the child, because in the cold wind any access of frosty air to the baby's wet body can lead to undesirable consequences. Also, the material from which the jacket is made must be moisture-repellent and easy to clean.
Step 4
Choose a jacket filling that requires a minimum of maintenance. Undoubtedly, in down jackets with a natural filler - down - the baby will not freeze and will feel comfortable, but such filler is difficult to clean at home. Therefore, give preference to synthetic materials such as Fibertech, Fiberdown and others.
Step 5
Give preference to models of jackets with large pockets, because kids love to hide colorful beads, small cars and other children's "values" in them. It is also better if the fittings were also large: buttons or rivets of impressive size, “tongues” of zippers. After all, it will be easier for the little fingers of the child to find exactly the large parts and to button or unbutton the jacket on their own, if necessary.
Step 6
Buy a jacket that has reflective inserts, because in the winter months it gets dark outside the window quickly, and the mentioned "little thing" can save your baby's life, making him easily distinguishable in the light of car headlights.
Step 7
Buy a model equipped with a low stand-up collar and a hood that will protect your baby in precipitation or strong winds.
