Winter jackets for young children: tips for choosing

Cold weather is coming, and parents are faced with the question of choosing warm outerwear for their children. The difficulty lies not only in the fact that they are growing rapidly, but also in the fact that the market offers a huge variety of different models of jackets, among which it is easy to get confused. What is better to buy for your child? What parameters of clothing are key, and what are not, what should you pay attention to first, and what - last? The Dice online store will tell you about this and many other things today.

What are the requirements for children's winter jackets?

Often, adults and children set different priorities for themselves and may disagree about what a warm thing should be. But while the guys are small, the prerogative is still for their parents. So, first of all, pay attention to these criteria (and since we live in an era of brevity, when even tweets of 280 characters are not read to the end, we will try to be as short as possible):

The size. The jacket should be comfortable and should not hinder movement, be too tight or, conversely, too loose; choose clothes one size larger than usual. Inside, a small space is needed for an air cushion - in this aspect, models that are adjustable with belts and drawstrings are ideal. As for the length, the jacket for a boy, as well as for a girl, should cover the ass - that is, be up to mid-thigh. Modern models often come with an elongated rear and a shortened front - this is both practical and ergonomic.
Upper layer. It needs to be airtight and water-repellent to prevent leakage on rainy days (not uncommon in modern winters) and better keep warm. The breathable material will keep babies from sweating. Optimal in this regard are synthetic fabrics. They are durable to wear and easy to care for.
Insulation. As a rule, goose down, sheepskin, feathers or special synthetics are used, in particular holofiber, synthetic fluff, fiberdown, and firetech. The first is natural, warmer and of higher quality, but requires proper care. The latter are lighter, thinner, easier to operate, recover their shape well and dry quickly. Winter jackets for children made of such materials can be safely washed, it is more convenient to move in them.
Lining. But here natural materials are already welcome - cotton, fleece, knitwear, flannel. Such fabrics are pleasant to the touch, store heat well and remove excess moisture. If the lining can be removed and washed, it is generally gorgeous, in which case the thing turns into a demi-season one.
Hood. A must-have for a winter jacket, and better if it comes unfastened. Zipper is more convenient and practical, as the buttons allow the hood to unfasten at the most awkward moment, and the buttons often come off.

So we examined the general - the most important - requirements for children's clothing for the winter. It was the turn to start with less obvious nuances.

What aspects should also not be overlooked when planning to buy a children's jacket for the winter?

We draw your attention to the following factors:

Fittings. Zippers, fasteners, rivets - all of them should be easy to zip and unbutton and hold tight. For young children, the most practical option would be a zipper with a large strap and a large key ring - it will be convenient to “operate” it even with gloves.
Collar. The best choice is a low standing double collar, it should completely cover the throat, but at the same time not rest against the chin, and even less close the mouth.
Cuffs. The presence of knitted or knitted cuffs (in extreme cases, elastic bands on the sleeves, but not too tight) will provide protection from cold, wind, snow and better heat retention inside the clothes.
Pockets. If the jacket for the baby has them, this is very convenient - you can put gloves, mittens there, stick your hands in when it's cold, etc.

In addition, reflective elements will be a pleasant bonus. Your child's safety should always come first. In winter, it starts to get dark early, and special stripes on clothes will make it more visible in the dark.

It seems that everything has been sorted out. The main question remains.
