Cold wind and rain will not be a threat to your baby's health as long as he is wearing a warm, comfortable jacket that reliably protects from the elements. And in order to acquire just such a thing, you need to pay attention to several signs, which should be decisive when deciding whether to buy it.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the thing that is most comfortable for your child. The jacket should not be narrow, because in this case it will hinder the baby's movements and he will not have the opportunity to actively run, jump and tilt, which in cool weather can lead to unwanted hypothermia and colds. Therefore, stop your gaze on a voluminous model, under which you can put on an additional warm sweater, if necessary. Also, the jacket should be long enough to cover the baby's lower back, so a jacket that goes up to the thigh line and below will be the best choice.
Step 2
Pay attention to the fact that the jacket has an elastic band or ties at the bottom or along the waist line, which, when used, would prevent the penetration of cold air under the clothes.
Step 3
Give preference to a model with a hood - it will serve as additional protection for the child's head and neck from wind and precipitation.
Step 4
Pay special attention to details like pockets, zippers, buttons. They must certainly be large: then gloves or mittens, napkins or handkerchiefs will easily fit in the pockets; and it will be easier for a child to find large accessories on a jacket he is wearing and to unfasten and fasten buttons or a zipper.
Step 5
Opt for a product made from modern materials. It should be moisture-repellent, hypoallergenic, easy to clean from dirt. In addition, the material must be breathable, as otherwise the child will sweat in the jacket, which can lead to undesirable consequences.
Step 6
Take care of your child's safety - buy a jacket with reflective elements for your baby. After all, when returning from school in the evening or walking in the courtyard at night and in poor lighting of the area, he can be hit by a motor vehicle. And reflective inserts on the fabric of the jacket will make it easy to see on the road in the headlights.
Step 7
Get a jacket with modern fillings. Undoubtedly, a child will be warm in a jacket on natural down, and it weighs quite a bit. Only down jackets with such a natural filler are difficult to clean and wash at home. Modern synthetic materials used as fillers are not inferior to natural ones in terms of their ability to retain heat, very low weight. In addition, they are easy to wash in washing machines and are hypoallergenic.
