What winter coat did you buy your infant boy who wears 6-9 months or smaller

I am having such a hard time finding a coat for Xavier. I have 2 6-9months from Rylan and both are huge...they look absolutely ridiculous. I saw one at Gap that fit him ok but don't really want to spend $50 on a coat he will hardly wear.

When DS was that age I had a few thick hooded sweatshirts and a vest. It seemed to work well.

When DS was that age we used the bundle me most of the time and had a coat from carters too!

For the car


For stroller
Columbia Snuggly Bunny Down Bunting


Both cost me around $40

DS is not in a carrier anymore and a big boy, but if he was still in carrier, I would just keep him in this:
Baby's Cozy World Microfiber & Fleece Carrier Cover


and just stuff it with blankets

In the stroller I also use 7 A.M. Enfant Le Sac Igloo 500 Bunting



DS gets very cold. I rather spend money on this and do laundry everyday for the pair of outfits he has for all of winter.

I have a few things that are too small for my DS, he never wore them (he is really big, lol). If you want I can bring them tomorrow and you can see if you want to take any of it (for free of course!!). DS is sleeping so I can't look now but I think I have a navy ralph lauren 6-9 month and a snow suit and maybe a couple other coats...

I will try and find them and will bring tomorrow so you can check them out.

OHH and I have an eddie bauer car seat cover (never used!). I can bring that too. My DS is in a convertible now..

I guess if you don't want/need any of it someone else might...

What I have been doing is layering a shirt w/ a thick sweatshirt over it and then a vest on top w/a hat and boots (haha sounds like so much when I type it out) So far it has worked but I think we will also need to find something else soon!

It was much easier when he was in the infant carrier!
