Polarn O. Pyret makes a really nice wool one. </p> <p>We love to be outside, cold or not. I feel that wearing appropriate clothing is the main thing. We will usually stay in only if it is really cold temperatures AND really strong wind. Other than that, we enjoy the outdoors all year. I think you'll be fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1234615 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:30:45 +0000 Beehive 1234615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely fine! Look at what parents in Norway do (and that cold makes 30 degrees look like a tropical beach): <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21537988" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21537988</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1234540 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:11:45 +0000 birdofafeather 1234540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i live in so cal and i would still take LO out at that temp (not that it ever gets that cold here!) as long as we were dressed appropriately like anyone else in that weather!</p> <p>have fun! i did a turkey trot last year at 34 weeks pregnant! it was a turkey walk for me, but DH, my dad and i had a great time! i saw another pregnant lady there and i passed her! i felt like a rock star. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1234377 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:30:33 +0000 sarac 1234377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my 3 month old to an outdoor christmas thing in about 25 degrees of cold. We tried various combinations of wearing her under our jackets, holding her, etc. All of it made her too hot and just pissed her off. Eventually we just wore her in the moby, front facing, and let her be. She was much happier. </p> <p>Only thing I'd worry about is wind, and if you're walking, no big deal. And you're probably not walking out in the desert - worst case is, what, you duck into a Starbucks and get a coffee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233923 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:59:09 +0000 Freckles 1233923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with a wind/rain cover. It makes a world of a difference!!</p> <p>It's 0 where i am, and i walk with LO to the train station every day without any issues. Just layer them up and make sure they have blankets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233799 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:30:46 +0000 hilsy85 1233799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine! I would definitely go, but 2nd the idea of the rain cover to help block wind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233788 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:28:45 +0000 shinymama 1233788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around these parts we freak out when it's in the 60s. :wink: </p> <p>I would still go, and at least try it - it sounds like fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233542 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:26:42 +0000 jedeve 1233542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233415 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:03:55 +0000 JerricaBenton 1233415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go! Maybe a little aquafor/coconut butter on LO's cheeks and nose to prevent windburn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233067 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:06:13 +0000 lovehoneybee 1233067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with pps, as long as he's properly attired I'd go for it! We took E to a ski slope last year--a day after a blizzard had hit. He hung out with my ILs while the rest of us went tubing. It was &lt;20, degrees and he was happy as a clam! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1233023 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:58:26 +0000 Honeybee 1233023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go out every day unless it's zero or less or if it's heavily raining/snowing. Thirty isn't cold, imo. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232859 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:35:31 +0000 Espion 1232859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our personal limit is 20 degrees for our walks. It has been -5 degrees here lately, so 30 degrees is warm! We really bundle E up and carry him in the Ergo, but I always worry about his face and nose. Anyone have a solution for this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232758 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:15:27 +0000 Grace 1232758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol - I've been taking my 2 month old out for long walks at that temp in the ergo. I just put her against me, with hat and mitts and booties and a light jacket on. Wrap a huge winter coat around me and her and she's good to go! If anything, I think she might be in danger of overheating. I'm pretty sure we can still go walking when it's -15C (5 F). I haven't tries the stroller yet, but my friend does. She puts her 8 mo in a snowsuit, hat, 2 big blankets and puts a wind guard over the stroller. Her daughter is always toasty warm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232716 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:09:27 +0000 pinkcupcake 1232716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think as long as they are safely bundled up, it should be OK. I took my LO to Seoul last winter and even when it was super cold outside, I took her everywhere with me in the Ergo. I just made sure she was totally covered up and toasty. People still thought I was crazy and I had several older Korean ladies yell at me, but she was warm and fine! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232598 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:51:37 +0000 SAHM0811 1232598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to a blanket or BundleMe.... If you have a rain cover for your stroller, it really helps with the cold air and wind. I would go too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232585 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:49:39 +0000 illumina 1232585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was getting close to that last night and we had S in the ergo for a couple of hours. As long as they are dressed appropriately I'd think it's ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232578 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:48:30 +0000 jedeve 1232578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: We'll be walking! But yeah, a blanket in case of wind is a good idea.</p> <p>He was walking outside with me at a few weeks old in January last year. Our daycare takes the older ones out in anything above 0F! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232507 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:25:18 +0000 Alivoo01 1232507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take DS EVERYWHERE with us, and just dress him appropriately. I think you'll be fine. Hello! There are babies being born in Alaska north of the Arctic circle all the time. They grew up just fine! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232490 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:21:43 +0000 Mrsbells 1232490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really dont like being cold or exposing LO to cold so I would stay home. I think an hour and half is a long time to be in 30 degree temps for a baby. ofcourse if you really want to, i suggest getting him thermal underwear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232488 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:21:17 +0000 MamaMoose 1232488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he'll be fine. But I would have a blanket you can hang over the front of the stroller if necessary. My only concern would be wind, especially since you'll be running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232487 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:21:08 +0000 blackbird 1232487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with you--what do people do in other countries?! They dress their babies appropriately. Period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232476 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:18:12 +0000 Mamaof2 1232476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its fine - I usually stayed in if it was under 32 </p> <p>Just layer him and make sure he has mittens and a hat and lots of blankets! You can always remove some if he feels too hot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-will-you-go#post-1232309 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:39:04 +0000 jedeve 1232309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We signed up for a Turkey Trot the morning of Thanksgiving. It's calling for a low of 30 degrees that morning, which I don't think is too bad. We had been planning bringing my 10 month old LO in the stroller with plenty of blankets and mittens, hat, coat, etc. </p> <p>I know when it comes down to it MIL will be going, "I can just stay home with him! It's too cold!" I believe if the saying, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing." If his cheeks are warm and he's not crying, I'm fine!</p> <p>He'd probably be outside for an hour, hour and a half. What do you think? </p>
