I'm from the Boston area so it's not so bad for me. But I definitely wrapped little one up in a snow suit when we left the house today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519678 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:58:08 +0000 sarac 519678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might not take my girl for a long walk in the extreme cold, but I certainly wouldn't sit around the house if it were safe to drive. Last week we went out to dinner and walked around outside for a while and it was below freezing, a bit. We're not in Siberia, here, and we've got lots of warm clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519263 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:13:45 +0000 immabeetoo 519263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it's wind and in. We don't go very far anyways but as long as its not super windy an the sums out well go for brief fresh air above zero. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519246 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:02:52 +0000 Bao 519246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today it is -3 with a windchill of -20. We will not be leaving the house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519229 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:52:09 +0000 travelgirl1 519229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: totally agree, the wind can be a biatch and get through all the layers.</p> <p>@Honeybee: I think a lot of people go off the 0 rule. Aw I bet that was a tough week. A is sniffly too so another reason we're staying in.</p> <p>@MamaMoose: what's the weather like there? Yeah you do have to get out eventually, when she has Dr appointments we just have to take the plunge and we don't have a car so walking is always an issue. </p> <p>@LAGS: A HATES hats too, they always end up over her eyes no matter what size they are, bless her.</p> <p>@Beebug: it's chilly out, eh? We need groceries so DH will have to venture out but I'll keep A indoors. She's a Canadian though, she's made of sterner stuff than me and her dad :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519166 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:23:46 +0000 Beebug 519166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: We're just East of Tdot and not out today. We were out yesterday and every day before that. I figure under the cold weather alert, esp with windchill we'll stay in, even though I know I could bundle her in well enough and only go out for a shorter walk!</p> <p>Agree on not liking when people say that, after I snow suit baby and bundle her in blankets, weather shield over top, I know she's plenty cozy! We're not weather wimps, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519027 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:12:43 +0000 LAGS 519027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been struggling with this myself. I walk LO in my jogger and have the wind/rain guard but still worry. On really windy days I usually opt out, unless it's mild. I know on cold days LO is probably warm enough and I'll go out into the negatives but she HATES hats and being bundled so on the cold days she usually ends up whining and fussing so I've kinda given up on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519026 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:11:58 +0000 MamaMoose 519026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't take her out if it was below zero. But I live in Nashville so that's easy for me to say because it's almost never that cold here. If I was somewhere that it was freezing constantly I would have to get out of the house eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-519016 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:07:08 +0000 Honeybee 519016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually go out as long as it's above 0, unless the kids are sick. Last week everyone was sick and it was only in the teens/twenties, so we stayed inside. It was a really tough week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-518970 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:37:45 +0000 hilsy85 518970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it's more about wind than cold...if it's windy and really cold, I probably wouldn't go out. But if it's just cold I would--I bundle LO up pretty well, and with no cold breeze, he's perfectly fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-does-it-have-to-be-before-you-wont-take-lo-out#post-518951 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:27:40 +0000 travelgirl1 518951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's -12 today in Toronto, snowy and there's a windchill of -20. We took baby A out in her Ergo (super wrapped up) on Sunday but she started having all these spit bubbles like bubble bath on her chin, so we guessed the wind was bothering her and came home. Because of that, I think today would be too cold for her and we'll stay in and snuggle.</p> <p>How low does it have to go for you to not go out?</p> <p>PS, I HATE it when people tell me my baby's too little to be going out and that it's cold outside!! I get this every.single.day, despite her being wrapped up tighter than a Christmas present and being worn so getting my heat too! So rude! </p>
