My DD has worn the heck out of this fleece jacket from REI:
We got it just before her 3rd birthday, and she wore it through last spring (age 4 1/2) - a full two winters of use. Not bad for a $40 jacket!
It was WARM. And waterproof (in snow, not rain, but that worked for our climate - note the leaves on the trees in the above picture - our first snowfall that year was October 4). And PERFECT for carseat travel.
So now I'm looking for a new, equally wonderful jacket - this time for both kids. I'll probably get DD a 6/7 for growing room, 2T or 3T for DS.
I found this at REI.com - I'm wondering if this is this season's version of what DD had:

I'm not sure about DS, I'm looking at this jacket, but I'm worried that the fleece would be too "fluffy," making it not great for the carseat:

But look at the little hat:

So what are you finding for good fleece coats this year?
