Winter coats

[britbratjf]

Please recommend your car seat safe winter coat you use for your LO. My mom usually buys Dagny a Northface fleece during the Macy Friends & Family sale but they aren't eligible for the 25% off this year. Now I don't know what to get her that's warm but car seat safe!

I'm not sure of the brands I have, but both of my kids have 3 in 1 type jackets that I got from OUAC. The inner layer is perfect for the car seat and then it's easy enough to add the second layer if needed when we get to our destination.

We've just gotten Riley fleece jackets from kohls every winter for car rides and then use a regular winter jacket for everything else. She's managed to survive 3 Minnesota winters without freezing so far!

We buy Columbia fleece jackets - I can usually get a decent price on Amazons.

I didn't know there were carseat safe coats. DD has to wear a big poofy jacket if it's very cold here. I usually just keep a hoodie on her in thecar.

Well the Northface fleeces & most other fleeces are thin - similar to sweatshirt thickness so they're safe to wear in the car. The Northface fleece is very warm - I honestly don't use another coat for DD1 in the winter unless she's playing in the snow.

I hope I don't sound like a jerk but could you just splurge and get one at full price?  I figure he is going to where is everyday so I just got one. If you have trouble finding other ones you like I would go for it.  maybe Freya could use it too later.

Not a jerk at all! I do think we probably will now that I've thought more about it. They are just such nice coats & I will be able to use it for more than one kid!

britbratjf , THe sports authority has a code for 25% off that might work on north fleece. I see they have some online. code is 25ONLINE. And if you use ebates, it's 3%.

Just wanted to share with you.  Also, it's free shipping.

Both of the girls have a north face Oso hoodie. They also have a fleece from carters. I try to buy them a little big so they can wear them for 2 years and Avery will end up with some hand me downs.

Joey currently has a Columbia fleece. It's the same one from last year and it still fits well. She also has a Cherokee 3 in 1 cost from target (clearance last year) that's a bit big, but she's been wearing it for outside play right now. It has the fleece inside that's removable and she's worn that part alone in the car once this year.

A has a Lands End fleece that we love and S is wearing the same Zutano fleece he wore last year.
