Winter calls for specialized apparel designed to keep kids warm and safe. If it looks great, too, then that's just a bonus.
- We think the Columbia, REI, Amazon, and Nordstrom sell some of the best kids' winter gear around, and we also like Home Depot's selection of sleds.
There's a reason so much small talk is centered on the weather. Weather affects everyone, directly impacting how we dress, where we go, in what activities we participate, and even how we're feeling. In the wintertime, the weather is often cold and snowy, and when it's cold and snowy, how can you go outside and have fun? By bundling up in proper attire and getting a sled or a pair of snowshoes, building a snowman or snowwoman with the kids, skiing, or snowboarding.
After all, winter weather need not put a damper on family fun. In fact, winter can be the most enjoyable season of the year provided you and the kids have the proper apparel and hardware to get outside and enjoy it. This year, make sure your kids have the best winter clothing, accessories, and toys by shopping from retailers who offer a great selection of high-quality cold weather clothing and gear. Like, say, the brands we've brought together in today's guide.
We're featuring everything from gloves and mittens, sleds and skis, to apparel that will keep little ones warm on the slopes and stylish in the city.
Being the father of two young children and a man who enjoys high alpine hiking as well as strolling down the streets, I have personally purchased gear and clothing from all of the retailers covered. I trust this stuff enough for my kids, but if that's not good enough for you, I've also checked in with plenty of experts as well as with other moms and dads.
Here are the places to shop for kids' winter gear:
- Best winter outerwear for kids: Columbia Sportswear
- Best ski gear for kids: REI
- Best sleds, saucers, tubes, and toboggans: Home Depot
- Best winter accessories for kids: Amazon
- Best stylish winter clothing for kids: Nordstrom
