I figure that it's awesome if I get more wear of it, but if I can't it's no more a waste than buying two in the perfect size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-raincoats#post-1398646 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:01:18 +0000 JennyD 1398646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Meme is a size 2 now, but one of her doting uncles bought her a lovely Patagonia rain jacket. I asked him to get size 3 so it would last the summer and fall, and with some luck, next spring (she has always been a bit on the small size). </p> <p>HOWEVER I will NOT be buying another winter coat "a bit big". That was a disaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-raincoats#post-1398563 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:31:14 +0000 T-Mom 1398563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much buy all outerwear for the kids up a size and roll up the sleeves. Especially since the weather is usually very warm. I got a great Osh Kosh raincoat at Costco in size 4T when my DD was 3, and she can still wear it at age 5 (but rarely does). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-raincoats#post-1398559 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:30:36 +0000 lamariniere 1398559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW, I'm the kind of shopper who always buys one size up, especially for something like a coat or jacket that I hope can last at least two seasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-raincoats#post-1398512 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:09:36 +0000 mediagirl 1398512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does buying up a size make sense?<br /> Do you have a brand you prefer?</p> <p>M is firmly in 2T now and I don't want her to outgrow it before the Fall. </p>
