We all know Boston winters are no joke! It is essential for little ones to get out and play, and being stuck inside all winter is not an option. Here are some ideas for great winter gear to keep your baby, toddler, or big kid toasty warm through this harsh season.
Infants
Since babies aren’t running around in the snow, the main winter gear they need is a good bunting and a hat. (Also, check out the stroller accessories at the bottom of this post). I never bothered with booties or gloves because the bunting keeps those fingers and toes nice and warm.
When buying winter clothing for my little one, I always go up a size or two and pray he’ll be able to fit into it the following year (that way I feel like I got my money’s worth!). Children’s consignment stores are great places to find barely used winter clothing, like boots and snow pants.
Once you’re all set on winter gear for your baby or big kid, be sure to check out our other advice for surviving winter — like making it through the infant phase, or adjusting to winter as a Boston transplant!
