Last winter DD was still in her infant bucket when we were outside, and I would just bundle her up with blankets. This winter she'll certainly want to play outside in the snow so she needs a proper coat, snow pants, and boots. I haven't had much luck finding ones that appeal to my sense of style that aren't as expensive as adult gear. (Sorry, but I'm not willing to buy my daughter $100 snow boots and $100 winter coat when she is 18 months and will grow out of it all within a year.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109938 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:42:56 +0000 LazyLightning 1109938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: oh and i ended up buying a handmade winter hat for her on etsy, because I couldn't find a thick enough looking one online (I didn't like the colors of the few at gap that looked thick enough. hah) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109933 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:41:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 1109933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love LL Bean!! ;) But since toddler boys are hard on their winter gear we've bought winter coats (puffers) from Old Navy. Hand me down snow bibs from Circo (target). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109899 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:32:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1109899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: thank you so much!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109867 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:23:49 +0000 LazyLightning 1109867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in North Dakota--it is quite cold here.... I got LO a patagonia coat in eBay. Brand new with tags, but only $30 (instead of retail which was like $75). She's only going to be between 5 and 11 months old throughout the winter, so I also got her a down-fill bunting with the fold over hands and feet, I think columbia brand, and also got that on eBay new with tags for about $30. </p> <p>I was at Once Upon a Child yesterday and saw they have tons of children's winter coats that are good for an 'actual' cold climate...not these cutesy fleece things that won't hold up below 20 degrees... if you have that or a consignment store in your area (or garage sales) I bet you could find one because other moms have had the same issues finding something warm enough.</p> <p>Edited to add link - I just searched for a brand I knew made good winter gear, and the size, then i scrolled through to find stuff that looked warm enough and a good pattern!<br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=columbia+12+months&#038;_osacat=0&#038;_from=R40&#038;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xpatagonia+12+months&#038;_nkw=patagonia+12+months&#038;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=columbia+12+months&#038;_osacat=0&#038;_from=R40&#038;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xpatagonia+12+months&#038;_nkw=patagonia+12+months&#038;_sacat=0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109750 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:54:40 +0000 mrsjyw 1109750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: heheh A is only 10 months! :) so it'll probably be perfect for next winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109745 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:53:49 +0000 yin 1109745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I bought a size 2T for my LO when he was 18 months old. It was big, but I just rolled up the sleeves. He has always been in the 5th percentile in weight, and it worked last winter for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109723 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:48:02 +0000 bunnylove08 1109723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a north face outlet those seem to be really great. I've also had friends who purchased land end coats </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109722 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:47:12 +0000 T-Mom 1109722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure that baby Gap will be having heavier outerwear, probably next month. I got my DD a down coat there last year. It was on deep discount by November since our weather is really mild. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109709 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:44:45 +0000 mrsjyw 1109709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: we have a denali that my bro got DS, but it's a 2T and too big for this winter! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109690 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:39:45 +0000 yin 1109690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought a Patagonia down jacket for LO for the winter (from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale). Last year he wore a North Face Denali, and he probably still fits into it this year as well. I don't mind paying more because I know LO2 will be able to wear it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109646 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:23:48 +0000 immabeetoo 1109646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My folks got LO a Columbia one from Farm &amp; Fleet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-winter-coat#post-1109640 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:22:18 +0000 looch 1109640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you looked at Lands End via Sears?
