car seat snowsuits

mfcleveland · Nov 25, 2011

Does anyone have a snowsuit for a big 9 month old that they recommend for the carseat? I found this one, but I can't tell if it's too poofy or not http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/52109?feat=61317-ppxs&dds=y I want one with feet/hands that fold over and a hood.

It looks kind of puffy. I haven't seen it irl. I used the Columbia ones for Matthew and they worked great. I got them off ebay for cheap at the time.

:yeahthatlove:

We had that one for DD1 for 2 years in a row & it's awesome. Works great for car seats. BUT it runs HUGE! Like, a size 3-6 month fit my fairly average sized 18 month old! Read the reviews on sizing.

We've used the Outside Baby Windproof pants and jacket. They're really thin- the inside is thin fleece and the outside is windbreaker material (but soft, not the mylar like stuff, lol). The sizing seems strange, but DD has used the 9-18 month size since she was about 9mos- she turns 2 next month. We had to fold the cuffs at first, but that was fine because they are meant to grow with your child. This is the set we have (these are stock photos):

And they make a snowsuit version (Outside Baby Windproof Fleece Bunting):

The are kinda pricey.. but I got mine on Spots Corner for $18 so go figure... I do see them on clearance a lot though.

And is this the one that people have from Columbia? Can you use both layers in the carseat? [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Unisex-Baby-BugaBaby-Interchange-Bodysuit/dp/B0050SN42S/ref=pd_sbs_a_3"]Amazon.com: Columbia Unisex-Baby Infant BugaBaby Interchange Bunting Bodysuit: Clothing[/ame]

No on both of those, unfortunately. Let me find the one we have from Columbia.

I had the boy version of this and loved it.

I like that one. I want to buy one for a baby wearing 6-9 months. Are they true to size?

Do you mean that those two I mentioned don't look good, or you just haven't seen them IRL?

I had one for my baby when he was newborn, I think they run small. Most Old Navy stuff runs small.

I use the ones from old navy, the microfleece ones, and the fleece from Lands' End. I am glad I found one for ds last year that would fit him this year since LE doesn't make 0-18mo sizes anymore.

No, those look too puffy. The first one looks super puffy, and the second one I have tried personally and it was too bulky. I love fleece suits for in the car, though, so just the fleece layer would be fine, or just the outer layer, but not both together.

The old navy sizing is 0-3, 3-6, 6-12. 12-18 & 18-24. The sizes 0-12mo have foot and hand flaps. The 12-24mo only have hand flaps. I think the 6-12 would be just fine. You don't want something too big as it will be baggy on the baby and lead to more bulk and looser straps. I bought 2 for my ds last year. The 6-12 & then the 12-18 in March since it was on clearance and he was finally walking. The 6-12 still fit him and he wore it still mostly. In store they were $10 yesterday. I am hoping they are still $10 on Monday when I have money to go buy some.

That one looks good because it seems to be fleece inside and nylon or something on the outside to protect from wind, but do they make something like that with foldover hands and feet?

FWIW the LL Bean suit you posted in the OP is pretty wind & water resistant. My DD1 actually wore it in the snow a lot & never complained.

Last year (2.5 years old & wearing 3T tops, 2T pants - this is an 18-24 month size snowsuit)
