When looking for a kids’ winter coat, there are several things to consider. While you want something protective and warm, it’s also important that your child’s comfort, size and several other additional things factor in. Here’s a list of what to look for in this important piece of outerwear for children:
Kids can grow fast, so it’s generally a good idea to buy something that’s not a super snug fit. It’s likely that your child will already be wearing a variety of layers beneath and you don’t want them to overheat. This also leaves room for layering, as well as gives some ventilation.
There are many brands that make warm winter coats for kids. Some of our favorites include:
With breathable, waterproof fabric and an in-season cool blue, the Mossbud Jacket is a wonderful option to help brace the cold. Plus, The North Face has this coat equipped with Heatseeker Eco insulation and added hem and cuff binding to remain cold in rain, hail and snow.
Before you send your kid to play in the snow, make sure they zip this up. Filled with responsible sourced duck down, you know it’s ultra warm. It also has Condura enforced sleeves to keep the coat in good shape, even after hours of sledding and running around. A removable zipper guard allows for the hood trim to be swapped out whenever you want, to swap out the hood’s trim. and the coat is also water-repellant.
This fairly priced, warm (yet breathable) kids jacket is hard not to love. Made for three-season wear, its water and wind-resistant nylon is just what any boy or girl will love — especially for trips to school. Plus, it has a reflective triangle patch on the back for added visibility at nighttime.
Classic, refined and cozy, the Patagonia Kids Down Sweater Jacket is perfect for any age and color preference. Its toasty puffer style is meant for warmth even in the brink of winter, while its water-repellent finish will keep any child dry.
For a lightweight, breathable kids’ jacket that’s perfect on warmer days and transitional seasons, you can’t go wrong with this quality make from Generation Joy. For less than $30, it’s the perfect outerwear staple.
In a multitude of muted neutrals, vibrant hues and cute patterns, this Amazon puffer is one of our favorites. And, for less than $50, it comes in a generous size range — fitting toddlers to kids.
With the weather being as unpredictable as it is, it’s nice to have a protective but lightweight option for your little one. We’re suggesting this Columbia coat. The jacket is water-resistant and has synthetic down-like insulation to keep in warmth. A chin guard and binding at the hood keep your child’s head protected from the elements. Available in a variety of colors.
Nothing quite beats a sherpa (check out our roundup of the best sherpas for proof). This two-toned kids’ sherpa from L.L.Bean is relatively affordable, is made of 100% polyester fleece and comes in unisex color options for all kids to enjoy.
For the child who is always chilly, a long winter coat may be your saving grace. This one from Lands’ End is available in lots of neat colors and is lined with snuggly fleece. SnowGuard wrist cuffs blocks air from sweeping up into the arm, while the hood’s faux fur keeps the neck area warm. The coat is water-resistant too, and we love how PrimaLoft Insulation ThermoPlume helps keep it looking sweet and fluffy — even when wet!
Meet the topcoat in this edit that screams, “I want one in an adult size.”
As a quality down coat that comes in gorgeous colors, it’s a winter staple from Target that’s sure to last for years of wintertime fun. Not to mention, we love the Burberry-esque feel and military-like buckles for that preppy, classic look.
What we love about this winter coat is that it’s warm without being too heavy. Armed with 650-fill premium down insulation and a robust outer shell, children can frolic in the snow till their heart’s content without getting sweaty beneath the material. The coat has a StormRepel DWR finish to keep it pristine in wet conditions, and its available in a variety of colors.
Made with 600-fill recycled down insulation and armed with a hood, this coat is as warm as can be. Lined with soft fleece and water-repellant, it’s a great option for boys who live for snowball fights, skiing or who simply have a long (and cold) walk home. The hood is also lined with fleece for extra comfort and the pockets have zippers to keep gloves or a phone safe when not in use. Available in three colors.
Obsessed is an understatement. How adorable is this baby puffer with the bear ears? It’s the cutest, cotton-lined jacket we’ve ever seen (and, offered at an affordable price).
Have a little fashionista on your hands? This coat should do. And along with being super stylish (seriously, we want one for ourselves), it’s also made from recycled material. Featuring a quilted, water-resistant exterior and 100% PrimaLoft P.U.R.E. fill, she’ll stay warm while looking cute waiting for the school bus in the chilly morning. This coat also has pockets, as well as cuffed sleeves and a hood to add extra protection from the elements.
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect fur-lined coat for the little one in your life, this investment-worthy purchase is your best bet. Canada Goose is known for its high-quality jackets and you’ll be rest assured that any kid will be warm in this stunner.
This one is for all you ethical parents who want your kids’ clothing to be animal-free. Made from 100% recycled polyester, this pick is warm and super colorful. It’s treated with an eco-friendly water repellent coating, too, so your child can stay dry without any chemicals getting into the mix, and when the coat gets dirty, simply toss into the washer machine.
We love this kids’ parka not only for it’s style but how warm it is. It has 600-fill of recycled goose and duck down, plus a PFC-free DWR finish for water-resistance. A multipaneled hood protects your child’s entire face from the windchill, while still leaving room for them to wear a hat beneath. Pockets are large, deep and lined — always a good thing, especially a pair of gloves are left behind at school — and the cuffs are ribbed to prevent air from rushing up the sleeves.
Fancy family events call for something with a little more flare. We’re going with this fitted long winter coat. It only comes in navy but when you hear all the bells and whistles it comes with, you probably won’t mind. Bell and whistle number one, it can be worn three ways. Yes, this is also a convertible kids’ coat — and waterproof too! The interior has a lightweight jacket, and the outside acts like a raincoat. Your child can wear them separately together. Neat, right? It also has adjustable cuffs and is designed to allow hot air to circulate out, so your child remains comfortable.
