How many coats does your child have?

[Anonymous]

I don't know how it happened but I have become spoiled without realizing it, I grew up with maybe 2 coats- 1 winter (play) and 1 for spring and fall. Dd has 4 coats, a vest , and three hooded sweater/jackets. I have 5-6 winter coats, same amount- fall/spring coats. Tis the century of indulgence. How o Zi get off..

My son has one good winter coat. And a fleece jacket. I try to keep a rain coat for him, but that is used so infrequently, he outgrows it before I replace it.

DD is 10 in 5th grade. She has a fleece thing I got on sale at Children's Place, an Army jacket type jacket from a shopowner near our home (it was her son's, years ago) and she also has a heavier coat that was given to her by a friend who wore it in kindergarten. So that's three.

+1.

I have 1 tweed winter coat, one black puffy long coat (used to live in the cold Midwest), one jacket for shoulder seasons, one rain coat.

Kids have one coat each - which is made up of 2 parts, so they can use the lighter part only when it's not too hot and both parts when it's very cold. They are from Target.

I have 1 winter coat and 1 fall/spring jacket.

Yes, I think you have bought too much for your DD.

DD- one light sweat jacket. One heavier fleece. One winter coat. One raincoat that doubles as a windbreaker.
DS- one raincoat/windbreaker. One 3 in 1 coat (used fall/winter/early spring).
Me- one raincoat/windbreaker. One fleece. One winter coat. One old fancy full length raincoat. One older full length winter will coat.

1 winter coat, but he has a few jackets (eg, a windbreaker , a rain jacket , a lightweight jacket) of different weights (most of which he received from grandparents). He's 4, and so far we get 2 years ou of each winter coat and some jackets.

Dressy winter coat
Windbreaker/rain coat
School/play coat (fleece lined nylon Hanna)

the second two are HMDs. the first was a huge bargain. I don't do plastic slickers anymore because they are kind of gross and she outgrows them so fast.

Two fleece jackets, one lighter "play" winter coat, two heavy "play" winter coats, one dressy coat, and one snowsuit.

I buy 2-3 per year, always up a size, so they last for two years. DD also gets a couple hand-me-downs, but not so reliably that I stop buying new.

PP here -- BTW, I have a lot of coats myself but some of them are a good 20 years old. a couple I got in high school so I'm not keen on wearing them for more than yard work. I also have a few random coats like a cool leather jacket I picked up on a trip to Argentina that I am not going to wear around again until I am pretty sure it won't get streams of spitup and boogers smeared on it. When my kids can get more than 1-2 seasons out of a coat, they can start collecting a few more too.

My kids each have one winter jacket that comes apart (so it can be a fall/spring jacket too). It's from Target. I usually have an extra one size up in case they have a huge growth spurt or lose it at school.
They each have 3-4 fleeces to also where in the fall, but those are more sweaters.

My toddler daughter probably has a dozen little hoodies/sweaters/fleece things that we got as hand-me-downs and one winter coat I bought for this season. The fleeces are perfectly adequate for spring and fall - though she seems like to outgrow all of them quickly!
