Gotta get on that! Last year we had good luck with sale or clearance stuff from Old Navy and Gap, plus thermals from Uniqlo. The Gap duck boots are great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2295290 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 18:13:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2295290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bought and re-bought (her feet grew, so her unused Sorel boots will likely not fit). I usually buy stuff during the summer for the best deals since I have to buy separate preschool/daycare gear. Including her fall/spring gear, it's just a whole lot of stuff! I don't think I'll ever be used to this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2295230 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 16:36:40 +0000 fancyfunction 2295230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to buy new boots but already bought her winter jacket at the end of the season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2295228 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 16:35:21 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2295228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bought her snowsuit in August!<br /> As ridiculous as it sounds, Costco started carrying awesome quality Osh Kosh suits for $29, so I snapped one up.<br /> Boots, mittens and hats can wait a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2295052 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:07:12 +0000 mediagirl 2295052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have her jackets (both bought at consignment) - one is a heavy winter coat and the other is a lighter jacket with a liner. We don't need winter boots. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2295044 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:03:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 2295044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a winter coat and a fleece car coat last year - just bought her winter (not snow) boots today because of the 30% off cartwheel offer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294674 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 09:48:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2294674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's birthday is in Dec so I'm just gonna wait for grandparents to buy her stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294548 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 08:17:53 +0000 chopsuey 2294548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought their puffy jackets earlier this month. Crewcuts for both of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294547 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 08:17:33 +0000 Alivoo01 2294547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought DS a nice winter jacket like 2 years ago when they were on super sale. He didn't grow into it like I expected, but it'll fit him perfectly this year so we're good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294457 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 07:24:14 +0000 erinbaderin 2294457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turns out I bought B's winter gear last fall - I bought him a 12-18 snowsuit thinking "He'll be 12 months in January, this will fit." He never grew into it and I had to go out at the last minute and buy him a 6-12. The 12-18 fits this year, so that worked out great! (tiny babies are so hard to predict, I've learned a valuable lesson about buying clothes a season ahead based purely on what age he'll be) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294452 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 07:19:25 +0000 looch 2294452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are all set for the year. I am reusing last year's snow pants, I bought a coat at an end of season sale and I just received boots in the mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294433 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 06:29:10 +0000 Adira 2294433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to buy when people put stuff for sale on the Classifieds, haha. :D I think Xander's winter coat and snow pants will probably still fit from last year, but I'm on the look out for snow boots! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294410 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 05:19:53 +0000 Charm54 2294410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully her snowsuit and jacket fit from last year! So she just needs new boots. I'll likely buy them in the next couple of weeks since last year we had a snowstorm Nov 1 :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294409 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 05:17:14 +0000 Alba4 2294409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already bought a down coat and snow pants. Working on the boots. Another bad winter is predicted for the northeast, so I'm buying quality stuff that will last and keep my LO warm and dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294397 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 04:58:02 +0000 farawayyama 2294397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy used at the end of last season. She has 2 pair overalls and 2? Jackets for this year and a jacket for the next winter (if it doesn't fit I'll resell and recoup, no biggie). 2 items new, the rest EUC, all under $25 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294384 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 03:15:41 +0000 lamariniere 2294384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already bought a coat (Boden) and winter boots (Sorel) for DS. His last coat and boots lasted for 2 winters, so it was time for new gear. </p> <p>DD will get DS's old boots, I bought her a second hand snowsuit and I'm not yet sure if last year's winter coat will still work. I'm waiting to see if she grows much more by the time it's cold enough to wear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294185 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 20:34:50 +0000 sunny 2294185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this. LO will need a new winter jacket this year and perhaps a raincoat and boots. She got soaked at school today! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-buy-los-winter-gear#post-2294182 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 20:33:52 +0000 Bao 2294182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually shop at the kids consignment store for winter gear like boots and snow pants so I should really get on that since it gets picked over so early. LO didn't really go outside much last year though so I didn't overthink brand/quality. My youngest will probably rarely go out but my oldest will need decent gear for school, so I may end up having to buy new if I don't find what I like used. </p> <p>When do you look into buying winter gear for your LO? Any particular brands you prefer? </p>
