Hmm.. I couldn't find any buntings on that site? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1284392 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 13:42:51 +0000 regberadaisy 1284392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: 6pm.com. </p> <p>How old is your LO again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1284386 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 13:41:03 +0000 shopaholic 1284386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: @Sparkler: Thanks ladies! It was actually hard to find ANY sizes not sold out, so I ordered the 2nd option I posted in 18m and hope she can wear it for 2 years. We found another closed foot option at REI yesterday in 12M and I bought it too. It's still huge, but no way to open the feet. So I will look at both when the other one gets here to compare. I would imagine a 1.5 y/o next year, would want her feet out to run around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1282907 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 19:45:35 +0000 Sparkler 1282907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few brands have the either or option for the open foot/closed foot (we have nice ones from gap and llbean that can go either way). I haven't been able to find toddler boots that can be worn outside in the snow smaller than size 5 though, so I am not sure an option foot option would matter at such a young age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1281382 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 08:28:22 +0000 anbanan15 1281382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: We got ours from Seirra Trading Post. With coupon codes and the already lower price I think we paid like $30 for a $100 snow suit, which was great since it didn't get used :) Also 6pm has them. Backcountry.com has some Patagonia ones around $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1281279 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 01:32:33 +0000 shopaholic 1281279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Oh! Overstock.com? What other sites do you know carry that kind of stuff? I don't care about the season. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1281265 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 00:34:23 +0000 anbanan15 1281265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With a mobile little one I prefer the second, reversible style (open foot?). But the first one will be easier with diaper changes and the double zipper.</p> <p>I would get boots that could be cinched at the top and then pull the legs of the snow suit down and overtop. </p> <p>We had an Obermeyer bunting for DS which is another ski brand. It never snowed so we never had the chance to use it, but my friend, who gets a lot of snow and cold weather, had one for her daughter and loved it. You can usually save on the top brands by getting last years colors/styles and shopping those deal/overstock sites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waterproof-snowsuits#post-1281244 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 23:44:11 +0000 shopaholic 1281244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be spending a couple of weeks or more in the mountains this winter and DH wants LO to be able to play in the snow and be outside. </p> <p>Where do you buy your waterproof snowsuits, brands, prices?<br /> DH wants me to get a Patagonia one and they are ~$100. Also, what do you do for footwear? </p> <p>Thought I'd ask our cold-weather bees for some more suggestions and advice before ordering. Must be water-proof/wind-proof. LO is crawling, standing. Possibly will be cruising by our first trip.</p> <p>ETA: Which style of snowsuit/bunting would you choose?</p> <p>open foot/closed foot </p> [attach=2730/13/mxs5kl.311x450.patagoniabunting.jpg] [attach=2730/13/mxs5kn.600x600.patagoniasnowsuit.jpg]
