Children's snowsuits
A child's snowsuit needs to stay comfortable while sitting, squatting and playing. Match warmth to activity and check knees, seat and the joins with gloves and boots particularly carefully.
Key points
- The crotch must not pull down when squatting.
- Choose insulation for activity as well as outdoor temperature.
- Wet snow calls for suitable fabric, seams and reinforcement.
- Oversized sleeves and legs hinder movement rather than helping growth.
How will your child spend the day?
| Use | Choose | Bear in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Running and playing | ChooseFlexible snowsuit | Bear in mindLeave room at shoulders and crotch. |
| Sitting and first steps | ChooseWarmer suit | Bear in mindAllow for more warmth when the child moves less. |
| Nursery and pistes | ChooseDurable closures | Bear in mindCheck gloves and boots together with the suit. |
What to look for
| Question | In brief | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Which size? | In briefMeasure current height | WhyThe maker's size chart is a starting point. Then let the child squat and lift their arms without sleeves or legs riding far up. |
| How much warmth? | In briefMatch the layers | WhyAn active child often needs less filling than one sitting still. Include the intended clothing beneath and check that it has enough room. |
| How weatherproof? | In briefCheck knees and seat | WhySitting in wet snow requires suitable fabric and seams. Whether it stays dry depends on the outer fabric and taped seams, not on the reinforcement. |
Common questions
How much growing room is sensible?
Some space for movement and layers helps. Dragging legs and sleeves covering the hands are too much; avoid simply skipping several sizes.
Is an all-in-one better than separate pieces?
It avoids an open join at the back. Separate jacket and trousers can be easier to manage for toilet breaks and changing warmth needs.
What goes underneath a snowsuit?
A suitable base layer and an extra warm layer when needed. Avoid thick folds and check the suit with the actual clothing your child will wear.
How should I dry it after playing?
Brush snow off, open closures and follow the care label. Lining and cuffs must dry fully before storage; avoid placing it on a very hot radiator without approval.
