new mommies & old to give advice on a winter coat..
what are you all doing for the winter?
we have the bundle me, but does that suffice for a winter coat for DD?
she's now 3 months and not sure what we should do?
what's your plan?

DD was the same age as your DD last year and we used the Bundle Me with just a sweater or light fleece jacket for DD.
I also had a fleece one-piece for when we took her out in the stroller.

Re: new mommies & old to give advice on a winter coat..
I have the same question.
I don't think we will use a bundle me cause he will probably be out of the infant car seat really soon.
I bought a cute winter coat for him but not sure if it will be too bulky for him to wear in the carseat...

Re: new mommies & old to give advice on a winter coat..
I had the same question too!!
I thought the same thing as you Julz - I figure a real winter coat would be too bulky and too warm in the carseat. I know I HATE being the car with a coat, how comfortable could it be to be sitting in vinyl as well? I figure I won't be walking outside when it is really cold so I thought a few warm layers, under the bundle me would be good enough.

DS is currently 4 months old. We have the Bundle Me, and I bought him a fleece jacket from the Gap that he will wear also. I was looking at the bulky jackets from Gap and Old Navy, and they just seem like too much this year.

the past 2 years i've gotten my DS the 3-in1 jacket from the children's place. it has a fleece liner that zips out so you can wear the fleece, the shell, or both combined. it's not too bulky.

Re: new mommies & old to give advice on a winter coat..
This is what I did last winter. Babies were born late September. I also live in Manhattan so we walk A LOT!
I used the bundle mes and I bought them a lighter winter jacket from Children's Place. When it got really cold, I also added the "bear" fuzzy pants from the GAP. This seemed to work well for us!
I just could not struggle with those one piece snow suits! I was sweating buy the time I got out the door.
