The best snowsuits for babies from The North Face, Gap, Columbia, Carter’s, and more.

 

Baby, it’s cold outside, or at least it will be real soon! Keeping your baby warm in the winter months is so important, even if they are snuggled up in a stroller. An insulated and cozy snowsuit can give you the peace of mind you need when heading outdoors with your little one. 

 

Because let’s face it, life doesn’t stop in the winter, especially for parents. Freezing temperatures can turn a routine trip to the grocery store into a pretty scary task. Considering how cold it gets in your city will determine what kind of snowsuit you need for your baby or toddler. There are tons of lightweight and heavier weight snowsuit options, and we’ve made it easy by rounding them up below. 

 

You may also want to consider these factors when picking the perfect snowsuit:

 

Right fit and size: Many parents may be tempted to size up when shopping for a snowsuit so that it will last for more than one year. But it’s best to find a snowsuit that fits your baby or toddler right now. Because they cover so much of your child’s body and are made from warm fabrics, having too much material can just be a pain for all involved.

 

Waterproof fabric: Your baby might not need a waterproof snowsuit, but your toddler definitely does. For the first sled or snow angel of the season, make sure your tot’s snowsuit is waterproof and well insulated. 

 

Snaps, and Zippers, and Buttons, oh my!: Because of the bulky nature of a snowsuit, you may have to get in off in a hurry for a diaper change or just general fussiness. Make sure you’re comfortable with the opening and closing mechanisms before you purchase. We even suggest having a test open/close-run before heading outdoors. Trust us, we’ve been there.
