HIGH FIVE: OUR TOP 5 BABY & TODDLER SNOWSUITS

1. Snowsuits don't come more stylish than this. Part of the special edition Stella McCartney Kids ski wear capsule collection for AW'19, the eco-friendly designer is known for her super-fun children's wear collections. With a neon graphic print, reminiscent of the 1980s - a popular trend for this season - it's made from recycled polyester. Much thought has gone into the little details of this snowsuit including a removable hood, velcro tabs on the cuffs, wrist inserts for extra warmth that have little thumb holes and zip pockets on the sleeve for storing lift passes or more likely if baby has his or her way - a dummy. 

 

2. The most versatile style of snowsuit for baby is this three piece snow bag by Emporio Armani. The three separate pieces include the bag - which has provision for it to be attached in a buggy or car seat via a little loop, so you don't have to change baby whilst asleep - a pair of little mittens that can be buttoned into the sleeve of the jacket to prevent falling off little hands and being lost and lastly, the top half is a jacket that buttons to the bottom half but can be worn on it own. In addition to this, it's so much easier when changing baby's nappy as there is no need to unzip them and remove the entire suit - simply take the bag off the bottom and the coat can be left on. Suitable for smaller babies up to one year of age, it's made from soft, warm polyester padding which isn't as thick as down padding, so and extra blanket can be layered over the top. Whilst older babies are unable to walk around in it, it's great for off the slopes on sleigh rides and car journeys as they can be wrapped up safe and warm from head to tiny toes. 

 

3. Moncler Enfant is one of the premium technical outerwear brands for children. Not only do they take their technical specifications seriously, using only the finest feather and down and top quality waterproof fabrics, the luxury detailing is clear to see. The brand is instantly identifiable by their logo badge on the sleeve and just for show, the removable, elasticated belt features the luxury logo on the buckle. Around the hood is a detachable real fur trim which not only keeps baby warm but makes it look super-luxe. In sizes up to 18 months, this snowsuit has removable bootees, so they can be worn in the pram to keep baby's feet warm and removed before putting boots on when playing in the snow. 

 

4. A super-versatile two piece set from Moncler Enfant. Made from the highest level of protection - water repellent fabric - on the outside to withstand snow and rain, it has luxury feather and down padding. The coat has an attached hood and an easy on and off zip. Much like a a traditional ski suit with sallopettes, this set comes with a pair of cute, padded dungarees with comfortable elasticated straps that can be worn on their own with a long sleeved t-shirt for aprés ski activities. 

 

5. For toddlers, this fun dinosaur print snowsuit by British designer Frugi is made of recycled polyester so it's friendly to the environment. More lightweight than some, it's perfect for wearing all year round for wet, rainy days. Lined with soft warm fleece, the lighter fabric means it can be layered over thicker clothing and jumpers without little ones becoming too hot. At the bottom are two adjustable foot straps so it can be worn over the top of welly boots to prevent water getting in when splashing in puddles. Reflective silver detailing is printed on the back so toddlers can be seen whilst playing in the snow.
