I didn’t like the missing ones anyway, but both went out in the snow with the cheap carters knit ones, so time to get some more. </p> <p>Easy to put on, hard for little fingers to take off, and keep hands warm and dry. Preferably cheap because they don’t play in the snow THAT much (like at school they hardly seem to play outside after it snows even though they say they do). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sun-hat-for-toddlers#post-2730367 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 15:22:07 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2730367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for sun hats for this summer. I have one bucket hat with a wide brim but when T runs the brim flops in his eyes. Not so good for a crash-prone 20 month old. Any favorites? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hats-for-the-summer#post-2712653 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:00:00 +0000 Bao 2712653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What type of hats does your LO wear to protect them from the sun? My girls are 3 and 4.5 and I want to get them hats for when the weather finally decides to warm up! I checked at Target but it looked like they only had toddler sizes in sun hats and they had one baseball style hat but it also looked pretty small. </p> <p>Links are helpful! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-lo-keep-snow-out-of-the-their-glove#post-2710258 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:59:35 +0000 dolphin 2710258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (4 years old) was playing in the snow yesterday and snow got into her gloves and she was complaining how cold her hands were. She has these Hanna Andersson gloves. Any tips on how to keep snow OUT of the glove when she's playing?

No amount of googling is turning up anything similar! I should have asked the mom where she got it, but I had already quizzed her about her wrap and felt stalkerish. 😜</p> <p>Have you ever seen something similar? Wish I had a pic to help, but I can't find one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-mittens#post-2636445 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 19:14:20 +0000 SweetCaroline 2636445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last spring, I grabbed a couple pairs of heavy-duty, waterproof mittens on clearance--best for snow and 30 degree and lower temps. BUT what do I put on my 20 month old's hands for 40-50 degree temps? I can't find any smallish mittens that have thumbs! I just need some simple mittens, just not overly insulated yet.</p> <p>Bonus points for Amazon links!

Hats and hood are torn off immediately. But she loves playing outside, we walk to school, and it's getting cold (30 degrees this morning!). Are there any miracle hats they actually like?

What are the safety issues at that age? Is there a better toddler friendly version (loop va long rectangle?)? </p> <p>My mom made C a super cute hate that coordinates perfectly with her winter coat.

I found a 3 pack at H&amp;M for cheap and decided to get them for her. She hates them! She says they are too hard to get on (which I figured) and throws them on the ground. </p> <p>So my question, when did you switch from mittens to gloves? I'm so happy i bought mittens for outdoor play (waterproof ones) for her stocking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-snow-gloves-tips#post-2379804 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 04:37:51 +0000 shopaholic 2379804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is planning to really start teaching DD 2.5 how to ski this winter. I despise and loathe the entire glove/mitten situation. It's such a pain to get them on/off. So far, we've only found mittens with a split thumb. Getting that said thumb in the glove is a struggle. Getting the whole darn glove under OR over the snow jacket is another PITA. Ugh... IDK how people do it every day in snowy regions. Advice, tips, links? Help me, because I already foresee mommy losing it on slopes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-kid-have#post-2361913 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:55:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 2361913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well we had our first flurries today here in the Midwest and I realized i'm vastly unprepared for snow for my girls!

Last winter she just wore some basic knit/ lined ones most of the time, and we had a pair of bulkier waterproof ones for snow days. </p> <p>This year she will be almost 2.5 and loves to climb anything and everything. I feel like the regular knit or fleece ones will be too slippery when she is climbing ladders and things like that. Are there fleecy mittens with grippy hands? I'm worried more for the cold but not bitter cold days when we will actually be outside for longer, so they don't have to be the very warmest. I just don't want her hands slipping off the ladder and her falling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyday-finger-mittens-for-lo#post-2329253 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 16:40:25 +0000 regberadaisy 2329253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get LO a pair of gloves that has finger slots then there is a mitten that flaps over it.

Where do you buy tiny hats for newborns? I don't like the way carter's look size wise...they look too short and wide to fit a teeny head.

LO is 7mo and she doesn't have any. It sort of never occurred to me to buy any, and now I'm not sure that I should because she constantly has her hands in her mouth so I think gloves might just annoy her and/or get wet and make her hands even more cold? </p> <p>She isn't really out in the cold much anyways. We have a garage and she has a car seat blanket and I always put a hat on her if it's chilly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-mittens-for-cold-weather#post-1926995 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:28:32 +0000 luckypenny 1926995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's seems all the mittens I have bought for DD are either ill fitting or not warm enough. </p> <p>What are your favorite mittens? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-brimfitted-hat-for-toddler#post-1879916 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 15:38:54 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1879916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH really wants to get a fitted/flat brim hat for LO.

I have one from Target with straps that velcro, but the velcro is so loose that it comes apart as soon as she pulls on it.

I have tried many different styles, but she pulls them off immediately. If I tie her iplay hat tight, it stays on longer but she pulls on it and cries the entire time. Currently, I just keep her in the shade as much as possible, but I've got to figure out a solution for swim lessons! I tried rubbing sunscreen into her hair, but it was a total disaster. Has anyone tried spray sunscreen on their baby's head?
