Children's winter clothes
Picking up winter clothes for a child is not easy. If you choose the wrong set of clothes for winter, then the baby may freeze or be constantly sweaty. Before you go to the store, you should carefully study all the main characteristics.
Peculiarities
Currently, there are a huge number of different variations of clothing for children. The stores sell winter blankets and overalls for babies, as well as jackets and fur coats for older children.
The main source of human heat is his body. It is important to be able to keep this warm. Therefore, you need to adhere to the main rule - clothing should consist of three layers.
Rules for choosing clothes for children:
- Babies and toddlers up to a year should buy zip-up overalls. Now they are called transformers. For very young children, the lower part of the jumpsuit can be turned into a bag and can be easily rolled in a stroller. It will serve as an excellent jumpsuit for children from six months, thanks to the legs hidden at the bottom. This model is very convenient and multifunctional. Particular attention should be paid to the lining of the overalls. Where the baby's skin is in contact with the cuffs and collar, there should be a layer of cotton fabric. It is better to choose plastic zippers, they stick less. There is little chance that they will freeze in the cold like metal lightning.
- When purchasing things for children from one to seven years old, it is important to pay attention to the product's hood, closed throat and special rubber bands on the arms and legs. In recent seasons, Velcro has appeared on the cuffs to fix the volume. This is important if parents take clothes for more than one season. It’s good if the main zipper is covered with a placket on the buttons, so the heat stays longer. In addition, in case of an unpleasant situation with a broken lightning, it will protect the child from hypothermia.
- Before approaching the checkout with the goods, carefully check all the zippers and other accessories several times. Everything should open and close easily and smoothly.
Material
If in Soviet times our mothers believed that the thicker the better, now this is not the case. Much depends on the mobility of the baby. If he is very active, then it makes sense to choose a lightweight version of clothing. The latest models of overalls, due to special insulation technologies, keep the temperature in accordance with the activity of children and the weather outside. In such winter ammunition, it will seem that the baby is dressed a little lighter, but this absolutely corresponds to the technical characteristics of the product.
For newborns, it is better to choose a heater made of natural fluff or fur, for example, sheepskin. Babies of the first year of life do not move much and they need such thermal protection when sleeping outside for a long time. It is better to choose a jumpsuit, which includes fluff, in well-known and well-established stores. A feature of down is that it perfectly absorbs water and dries for a very long time. In more budget models, the insulation will quickly lose its warming abilities and the fluff inside it will wrinkle. In addition, in case of an unpleasant situation with a broken lightning, it will protect the child from hypothermia.
For babies under three years old, manufacturers recommend choosing synthetic insulation. It should not be forgotten that the main part of the jacket or overalls is better insulated than the legs and arms. This is again due to the activity of little fidgets. Today, heaters are made from high-tech materials, after washing they are instantly restored. It is important to know that the layer of insulation in the jacket is greater than in panties. The hood should fit well on the head and be fixed, leaving room for a hat and protecting the child's neck from the wind. For these purposes, models that have an additional Velcro fastener are perfect. This will fix the hood and keep the baby's neck warm.
The material on the outside of the product must be waterproof and breathable, but breathable. The child should not be as if in a spacesuit, let alone sweat. Inside should be knitted or fleece lining. This will be an additional absorbent element and, unlike synthetics, will not allow the baby to get wet and freeze.
A separate set is perfect for children from three years old. The characteristics of the material are the same as for babies up to three years old.
Let's summarize the insulation options:
- Sintepon. Currently, there are two types of padding polyester, they are made from polyester fibers. The new version has non-glued fibers, and they seem to be held together by silicone needles. It is suitable for a light jumpsuit or jacket for spring or autumn. Basically, this material is used by Chinese and some domestic manufacturers.
- Thinsulate. Currently, experts consider the best. According to the heat-saving characteristics, it is equated to fluff. In winter, it withstands a thirty-degree frost.
- Holofiber, fibertec, polyfiber. Not natural heaters that keep their shape well and withstand frost up to twenty-five degrees. Such clothes are very budgetary and are an acceptable price-quality ratio.
- Membrane. It is a thin laminated film or a special impregnation on fabric. It will get wet in a heavy downpour, but is indispensable for active movement. For quiet walks, experts recommend choosing additional insulation. It is undesirable to stay in such overalls for a long time at temperatures below fifteen degrees. For babies under two years old, this option is not suitable.
- Goose down. Starosta among all types of heaters. It is very light, withstands severe frosts well and quickly restores its shape. It is better to choose eiderdown or goose down. A clear disadvantage of such a heater is a high degree of allergy to it. The fluff takes a very long time to dry. But it is perfect for harsh and frosty winters.
- Wool or sheepskin. This is a fairly wear-resistant and durable material. Holds heat well down to minus twenty-five degrees. The material is considered hypoallergenic. This version of the heater is perfect for babies.
Top coat:
- Cordura – very durable polyamide. The material is completely waterproof.
- Teflon - Impregnation, which repels water, perfectly protects against bad weather.
- Nylon Polyester - Lightweight and soft blended fabric.
When choosing a jumpsuit and following the characteristics of the label, the advice of friends and sellers, it is important to remember that the clothes are bought for a particular child. And only his parents know how active he is and what kind of immunity he has.

The seams are treated with a special compound so that moisture and snow do not get inside.
But the priority is the convenience and safety of little mods. Quality winter clothing for children has special reflective details. The zippers on them are equipped with zippers that protect the skin from pinching. Most models have knitted cuffs that protect against cold air. Winter and autumn are sometimes unpredictable. Winter clothing fabrics should dry quickly and have good breathability.
What you should pay attention to when choosing comfortable and comfortable clothes in the cold season:
- Anatomical cut for children over two years old.
- Adjustable suspenders on the pants of children from the year.
- Anatomically shaped cuffs.
