4 Tips for Buying Toddler Coats

Buying a toddler coat can be quite a cost, especially for your osh kosh toddler, who will grow out of it more quickly than an older child. That’s why you need to know some simple guidelines before buying toddler outerwear that will help you walk away with a perfect coat for your little one. The five tips that follow are simple, but important.

1. Shop for Your Climate

While the heavy parka style jacket might look adorable on your son or daughter, if it’s too hot for your temperate climate, you’ll only end up lugging it around. Choose a coat with a temperature rating that fits your local weather.

2. Choose a Style You Both Like

If you love it, but he hates it, don’t buy it!  Pick a color or style that suites him, or it’ll be a struggle to put the coat on him every morning.

3. Go Big on the Fit

As mentioned, our toddlers grow fast, and if you don’t want to buy another coat in the middle of winter, make sure the one you buy is bigger, rather than smaller. This will also help when you need to put extra layers underneath for colder days.

4. Look for Comfort

Some toddler coats look cute, but when you put them on, those little doggie ears are scratchy, or the metallic fabric doesn’t allow air in. Keep in mind how your child will feel wearing the coat for hours at a time.

With these tips in mind, picking the right coat shouldn’t be difficult, especially with the great variety and styles at OshKosh!
