Mention baby clothes and people mostly think of all the cute outfits like sailor suits or frilly dresses for the girls, even the cute "Tigger" All-In-One romper suits. We don't think of the more practical thick winter coats or the jackets that are wind resistant. Babies are in more need of a warm coat or jacket than adults are when it comes to the colder climates, whether it is the Winter or Summer, when you can still get cold days.
Designers of the best in baby clothes, are all too aware that all infants and toddlers need to have warm winter gear. They come up with many lines of cute coats, jackets and winter clothes specially designed with your little ones in mind. You will find them available at all baby stores, mail order catalogues and now the online shopping stores.
The list following are examples found on "Tutti Frutti" (Italian for "All Beautiful") a website on what is available in designer baby clothing.
Jean Bourget
The Jean Bourget offers a 'Khaki Spring Coat', an attractive hooded coat which is also smart enough for cool not "cold" weather. It has an inner lining that is lightly striped with four silver snap fasteners, including a little breast pocket on the left. Ideal for the coolest little man, the campa da guioco will have the finest bambino around. Sizes are for 3-24 months old, retailing at $62.95.
Zutano
For the older baby girls, a reversible Print Jacket in a gorgeous pink colour is offered by Zutano, to keep them toasty warm. It doubles as a coat for different occasions with a pink floral print, or if you turn on its reverse side you get a print in seersucker stripes, and is made up of 100% cotton. Sizes are from 24 months to 5 Year Olds, and Zutano price this at $48.95.
Designer clothes are not affordable for everyone, so these styles will not fit every pocket, cute as they are. $50-60 is considered a reasonable price for a winter coat for the older child, but is too much for a baby, as they soon grow out of them from one season to the next and not get enough wear out of them. Kmart, Target and Wal-Mart or if you're feeling adventurous there is Old Navy, for those of us on a tighter budget which stock suitable, cute outfits for our babies. They are sure to keep your kids warm enough all through the winter, and the prices are more reasonable, especially for bigger families.
It's important to keep your child warm at all times as they catch a chill easily and need to be warm and protected. Buying for your baby's wardrobe means you will have a budget set aside, which should include purchasing a suitable winter coat that is good in quality, adequate to cope with the cold climates wherever you live. Jack Frost can suddenly rush in to turn things icy cold so always be prepared!
