I know it's so early---let's talk snow gear

This will be DD's first winter actually playing in the snow....What's a good brand for snow boots? What's the difference between a snow suit and a snow bib? What brand should I be looking for? I never had to buy stuff like this before so I was just curious what I should be looking for.

I always got everything at Children's Place. Their snow pants and boots are great and between sales and coupons you can get them pretty dirt cheap!

Re: I know it's so early---let's talk snow gear

Last year we got DS boots from Target and a snow outfit with jacket from Costco.

I like the osh kosh heavyweight coats. I've bought them the last two years and will probably get another year out of the lady one. Snow pants I bought brand new at once upon a child for $8 and got two seasons out of. Those were from children's place but this year I'll just get whatever I see a good deal on.

I got mittens and boots at target last year.

Re: I know it's so early---let's talk snow gear

Don't spend a fortune on boots or snow gear unless you are skiers, or have a vacation home in the mountains or something -
for day to day playing in the snow .......
carters and the children's place have great (and inexpensive with sales) snow bibs (I prefer the bib b/c you don't have to worry about snow getting up under their jacket)
get her good waterproof gloves/mittens - and any waterproof boot. I've bought for my boys in Marshalls on sale, Old Navy, Carters and The Children's place -

ETA I don't buy an additional coat - I get both boys the Lands End Squall - which is waterproof. It's their only winter jacket.

2 years ago i got brown snow pants (overalls) at Old navy with really cute snow boots there too. She just wore her 3 in 1 jacket from target over that. I think we wore those 2 years in row b/c I don't remember buying them last year. I try not to do to puffy of a coat b/c I feel like they are uncomfy and stiff lol.

I really like the 3 in1's Target has the same ones as the children's place but cheaper. I guess I always miss TCP sale lol

Re: I know it's so early---let's talk snow gear

I usually get boots at Kohls with 30% off coupon or kohls cash. I do like the the totes brand it has held up for both my girls since I hand down the snow boots.

Snow suits try costco they have them every year and they are really cheap.
