| Hi all, DS is 3 and feels really cold. I want to get him a non puffy comfortable jacket that will keep him warm. Pls recommend the one you are happy with. I have a couple I bought but they are either to puffy or very thin and not insulated enough. Thank you! |

Lands End is popular. We have a Hanna Andersson one, which was pricey, but we expect to get two winters out of it. |
| At this time of year, my little one is most comfortable in a good thick fleece. |
| I swear by Hanna Anderson - warm and cozy but light weight parkas. Expensive but my 7 and 6 year old are on their 3 winter with theirs - yes I bought a size up initially. Wait for a sale. |
like now-- 30% off all outerwear until Nov 11! |
| Is it the Hanna Anderson fleece lined parka that you like? Does it run big or small? DD is currently wearing 3T and on her way to 4T - do you think the 110 (4-6 year) would be the right size? |
| LL Bean Katahdin parka. It's super warm, so maybe a bit much for this time of year. It's more of a real winter coat. But not puffy and super durable. |
My almost 4 year old is wearing a size 90 HA fleece lined parka. It is wide and long, compared to other jackets. She wore it last year and we just rolled the sleeves. I don't think it will fit her next year. You really need to order HA based on your child's height if you want it to fit. My daughter can wear either a size 90 or 100 in HA clothes - 90 fits, 100 is big, but not too big. She is 37.5 inches. |
| At Children's Place they were selling fleece jackets in the girls section - I got DS a black one. It looks like the North Face style, but way less expensive. DS loves it. |
Would you feel comfortable with your kids wearing this in a car seat? We have these too and it was my understanding that it's too bulky for the straps. But if I'm wrong, I would love to know! |

| I'm the OP of the thread pasted in above and we decided on a Patagonia down sweater (which really isn't a sweater at all). |
My daughter is on her third winter with this one: http://www.hannaandersson.com/style.asp?from=SC|5|4|24|141|7||&simg=37991_Z37 And my son is on his third winter with this one: http://www.hannaandersson.com/style.asp?from=SC|4|6|8|14|5||&simg=38886_A91 They run big - all European sizes do. My 7 year old still fits in her 120 size coat. Good luck. |
