Baby Outerwear: The Many Styles of Baby Outwear

Bunting bags are great to use with your stroller or car seat. Designed to keep wind, rain, and snow off of your baby, these bunting bags enable you to take your baby out of the house without getting them all bundled up and eliminate the need for a blanket or jacket.

Reinforced openings through the back allow three- and five-point harness systems to rest directly across your baby's chest so they're safe to use with your car seat or stroller. In fact, it's actually safer, since thick coats and snowsuits can reduce car seat safety.

With a shearling lining and a fleece exterior, you can be sure your baby will be riding in style and comfort.

This 2-piece set by Columbia is one of my favorites for a number of reasons.

Ultra light-weight, it's not bulky and therefore easy for even the most unsteady of baby's to maneuver around in. Columbia's water-resistant Rainstop II fabric keeps moisture away from their skin so they can play - and stay dry - longer. And a leg-to-leg zipper makes diaper changes a breeze.

Overall, this is a great 2-piece suit which will be plenty warm for most climates.

For the baby that's a little older, and a little more steady on their feet, this cozy snowsuit from LL Bean is great. Fleece-lined, it's also a great baby outerwear piece for those living in the far northern regions of the country where it gets very, very cold.

"Grow" legs lengthen 1 1/2", so this suit can grow with your baby; backed by LL Bean's 100% satisfaction guarantee - no matter what - makes this a great investment.

$65 at LL Bean.

With flexible soles and rip-grip sides, your walker will be out the door before you know it.

400-gram Thermolite insulation means feet stay warm, while the moisture-wicking lining will keep their feet dry.

Available in both solid colors and these adorable characters, they'll quickly become a favorite that you find yourself buying year-after-year. Just $29.50 at Land's End.
