During the harsh weather, you might think of wrapping your toddler in layers of warm and cozy clothes but it might get uncomfortable for them especially if they want to play. Thanks to some of the latest toddler dresses that provide complete insulation while keeping the kids comfortable. In addition to them, you can opt for some smart tips to ensure the safety of your child before taking him out for some adventure. 

Proper Layering 

We can’t blame the weather to make our children sick, as it’s on us how we dress the little one for outdoor activities. You might come across a wide range of kids’ winter outerwear but not all of them can guarantee the protection of your little champ. That’s why you need to choose winter clothes for kids very carefully to layer them up. 

After getting the best quality kids’ wear, follow our way of layering a child:

Warm Base Layer

It is crucial to pick the warmest yet soft fabric like wool for the base layer. If you are planning to knit the woolen top/bottom or a pair of socks for your little one, then go for the warmest yarn. The wool helps to retain the body heat and protects the children from extreme cold. 

Mid Insulating Layer

For mid insulation, light clothing like fleecy tops/bottoms, and knit hats remain the best. They keep the toddler light and warm at the same time. 

Outer layer

Now here comes the most important part. Before taking your child out in moist and cold weather, make sure their clothes are completely waterproof like the snowsuits by Conifere. Also, cover the hands with warm mittens, and instead of getting fancy footwear, try to go for water-resistant boots with a longer shaft.
