Do you use one?
What brand? Did LO get used to it?
LO loves (loves!!) being outside, but her cheeks get so red, and while we never keep her out long enough for overexposure, we live in a windy spot, and some extra coverage would be fabulous.
Any tips?

wow. There is no way, no way, my toddler would ever wear that. It's hard enough getting a hat on her. I suggest a scarf tied across her lower face? Not sure how feasible that is either...

I made DD a cowl. She pulls on it so much so we now just lather on aquaphor before we go out

Yeah, DD would never wear a balaclava. I suggest a nice thick sunscreen and maybe a mild lotion once you come inside.

She loves wearing a scarf, so I totally think it's doable she would get used to it and recognize the value in it (lol).
Maybe I will make her one first before buying, to see!!

We have a turtlefur one and a wool polarn o. pyret. She wears and tolerates both really well. She was just wearing the wool one 10 minutes ago! I think they are almost necessary for long periods outside depending on the temperature.

@Beebug: we found one at Dollarama for $2 I think...for the number of times we'll use it, I think it's fine. It's not great, but it'll do! It came in red, navy, purple and pink I think.

Yes! We use a balaclava every day. It's not a specific brand, just one I picked up at the local children's store. I'm always worried about his neck being cold since I can't zip his coat up all the way under his chin, so I like that this is an easy way to cover his head and neck. He has been wearing one the last two winters and we've never had problems with him pulling it off. He knows that when it's cold, he has to wear it.

A follow up!
We got a cheapie one to see if she would tolerate it, I still don't crochet efficiently so the time I would have taken to make vs. buying a cheapie to try, we bought!
Silly as it sounds, but I think she gets it! She loves wearing it, and with temps at -15 with windchill today (pics are from today!) it is definitely necessary for a girlie who loves to play outside!

@Beebug: Too cute! We use the OR (outdoor research) one and she actually took to it pretty well!
