Mac in a Sac - Puddlesuit - Packable Waterproof All in One Rain Suit for Boys & Girls - Lightweight and Breathable Rainsuit That Packs into its own Bag

Product Information

I know my niece would LOVE this unicorn print suit from Next. The furry hood is right up her street. And I think that’s part of the appeal of this particular suit, it looks really cosy and is fleece lined for extra warmth. And I know I know… I’ve already shared a dino suit and a unicorn suit but, what about BOTH?! Yes! It comes from Next too. That minty green colour is perfect. Breathability: Consider how much warmth you’ll need from the coat – is it just a layer of protection against the rain or does it need to help keep them toasty when it turns colder? When trying on, think about how many layers you're going to want to be able to fit underneath.

You don't necessarily need one, but a puddle suit opens up outdoor play for kids, especially preschoolers, allowing them to run and splash in puddles as deep as they like, sit on swings without getting a wet bottom, and generally make the most of the great outdoors. It’s quite hard to find decent waterproofs for big kids, but that doesn’t mean they stop needing them, and if your big kids wants to get close up to some pond action or paddle in a river (or just cycle to school without soaking their uniform), a pair of waterproof trousers like these are just the job.

You may find your child’s nursery or playgroup assumes they will have one to take part in outdoor activities and, even as they get older, they’re useful for outdoor after-school clubs, forest school and more. They’re also great if you’re a family that goes camping, meaning you don’t need to be put off by a showery weather forecast, or limit your adventures to the height of summer. How do I choose the best puddle suit? Felix is 2 and in his 3rd puddlesuit (currently a really cute frugi one with fishes all over them) and also has warm waterproof dungarees ( gap primaloft) which were great over Christmas when it was flipping freezing! Made from a high-quality cotton/polyester/nylon mix, the material is breathable and skin-friendly. Because it’s a two piece, it also makes those trips to the toilet a little easier than an all-in-one outfit. It can be machine-washed, but you’ll need to air dry it. I’ve been really impressed with the coat I got my DD in the Regatta outlet. Excellent quality and not expensive.”

ALL the prints! There are so many gorgeous prints on the high street these days but here’s a round up of some of my fave patterned suits. This all-in-one puddle suit is perfect for keeping your little one warm and dry when the heavens open.

Think about just how waterproof you need it to be: Taped seams and some of the fancier fabrics and designs from Scandi companies are great if you want your child to be able to wade into streams and get really soaked. But if you just want something waterproof for the park or playground, you won’t need a heavy-duty option. I’ve rounded up some of my faves for you of both types and the best news… most of them are still in sales! Go bag one whilst you can and save yourself ALL the washing! Plain Suits Drying time: Let's face it, no one wants a house full of damp coats. It's also more than likely that as soon as your toddler has decided to come in they'll immediately want to go play outside again – so a kids coat that is easy to dry is a must. Rain is a fact of life in the UK, but with the right outerwear, a few grey clouds won't stop you from getting out and about. For a splash of brightness, the zip and its pull come in a contrasting shade. The anorak is water-resistant and is 100% polyester which makes it machine-washable. The only negative is that, although it goes up to age 12, the only design that an older child would likely be happy to wear is the all-navy blue — the others are more suited to very little ones.

Despite its small size when folded, it’s not short on useful features, with fully taped seams, elasticated wrists and ankles to keep the wet out, removable stirrups to prevent the legs riding up, reflective piping for safety and mitten clips. Kids will love this all-in-one suit that doubles as an animal costume. Choose from nine different animals, including a fox, a monkey and a crocodile. The hood is a great size and comes out over the face so kids won’t get raindrops splashing in their eyes. And the zip goes all the way down the leg to make getting it on and off a cinch.DD had a beautiful raincoat from Muddy Puddles. It lasted forever (bought it big) and still had some more life left.” Muddy Puddles waterproofs are a Mumsnet must-have for toddlers, but one of the best things about these waterproof trousers is that they go right up to 12 years.
