Good Snow Suit and Boots for a Toddler

Good afternoon moms,

I just wanted to ask for suggestions on good brands of snow suits and boots for an active 2 year old girl. I have heard of some brands of snow suits that have "growth room" or "grow technology", but I am not sure what brands to look for and/or the most durable. I would like to purchase something that might last more than one season if possible. Thank you for any suggestions.

What can I do next?

I LOVE LLBean stuff! It can be a bit pricey, but you can often find used ones on Ebay or even on www.llbean.com on clearance.
The sleeves of the jackets & legs of the snowpants have a little extra stitching that can be snipped to allow them to "grow" by about an inch or so. My kids usually get 2 seasons out of them. They are VERY well made, have a good re-sale value & most importantly, keep my munchkins nice & toasty warm, so they're worth the money to me.
(Just FYI--they tend to be cut a tiny bit big. My kids are very small, but my son, who usually wears a 24 mo, is wearing a 12-18 mo jacket & my daughter, who wears a 5/6 wears a 4T in their stuff).

Good luck!

Have you looked at www.landsend.com?

I like Land's End, and my kids have had several of their coats, but I think Hanna Andersson are the best, both in terms of style and quality, and because the Hanna coats always fit them for two winters. They are a little pricey, even on ebay, but I think they are worth it.

I have not heard about this particular "grow technology", but LL Bean makes great products that I've easily gotten two seasons wear. I even got three seasons out of snow pants which, as they got a little shorter were not an issue because of snow boot coverage. Good Luck!

I don't know if you get more snow in Pittsburgh than we do in Philly... but for the 1 or 2 times a year they get to wear snow pants and boots... the ones from target work fine for my girls! haha! It's only $12 for snowpants. I also check out the consignment store.

Purchase Lands End or L.L. Bean. They are amazing for clothes and especially outter wear. I especially love the fact that you can get girls clothes that do not make "little" ones look like whores.
Good Luck.

The best deal I've found for boots is at Target. We've had the Champion boots for two winters, and they last much longer than they fit :) I'm assuming that they have styles for girls, but if I had a daughter, I'd put her in the boy styles if I had to . . .
