The best kids winter boots and boots

North Face Toddler Alpenglow II Boots

Promised Customer Feedback: “She arrived just in time for the first snowstorm of the season! My granddaughter stayed dry and warm in her new boots. It's the perfect height for her little legs.” — Carmella

Zutano Unisex Fleece Baby Boots

Promised Customer Feedback: “These are the best baby booties out there. Warm for winter, soft and stay on your feet. Two snaps for a better fit. Cute too!!” -SMALL. Cabral

UGG Keelan (Infant/Toddler)

Promised Customer Feedback: “These boots keep my little ones feet and toes so warm and he can really balance in them as he is 16 months old. She definitely needed that full shoe instead of the more slipper/sock like thing. She likes them and they're also really easy to take on and off.” —T

Hudson Baby Fleece and Faux Sherpa Booties

Promised Customer Feedback: “Oh my… I like them so much! These booties are soft, super warm and….they actually stay on!!! I love the adjustable Velcro that makes it so easy to use and helps them stay snug around those baby ankles! There are also handles on the bottom to prevent slipping! They're meant for indoor use, but they're warm enough for winter car rides!” — Hanika

Enter Baby Snow Boots

Promised Customer Feedback: “I have a very rough seven-month-old. [These] they are very well made, and are very thick and well insulated. They are very easy to put on and take off, but secure well with the double Velcro latch. There's also an elastic band to help the ankle section fit snugly around your little one's ankle so it won't slip even when they're playing rough, crawling or learning to walk. I will get them again when he grows out of them. Totally worth the money.” — Mr

The best kids winter hats and gloves

Holiberty Toddler Winter Gloves

Promised Customer Feedback: “I ordered dark blue with the bunnies. High quality and perfect fit for my 2 year old son. They are partially waterproof and very warm and soft. When he plays with the snow for a while it's ok. Waterproof ski gloves are super waterproof but huge at the same time and he can't grip things properly or hold the reins on his balance bike. This is why he likes these! I would also highlight the strap! Very useful.” —tomas_paulenda

Baby Fleece Gloves Zutano

Promised Customer Feedback: “These are great baby gloves. My 10 month old has been wearing them for about 4 months now. He has small hands and maybe they will fit next winter. I chose the fur ones because they seemed warmer and we live in Alaska. These keep her hands warm, are easy to get on, stay on and the drawstring means they can't get lost. I'm actually thinking of buying a second pair so we always have clean gloves!” —Hagger Bunny

MarJunSep 4-Pack Winter Warm Fuzzy Fleece Baby Gloves

Promised Customer Feedback: “I liked the variety of sizes. I was able to use the smaller size for my eight month old and the larger size for my toddler. They're warm, fit well, and come with a long cord that I found easy to cut in half and tie to my kid's coat, so no more mittens get lost! She likes them too and told me they were comfortable.” — Maya S

Simple Joys by Carter's Toddlers and Babies' Set and mitten

Promised Customer Feedback: “This hat and mitten set worked so well for my baby's first winter that I will be going back to buy another for next winter. The 0-9m hat was warm, soft and suited him from 0-4 months until summer. The Velcro strap was easy to attach and didn't seem to bother his chubby chin at all. The white is pure white, which I like.” — James B.

The North Face Baby Bear Suave Oso Beanie

Promised Customer Feedback: “We like to keep our son warm from head to cheeks. We are outdoors most of the time hiking, at the beach, or at our kids baseball games and it is very cold. It's perfect for keeping our son's head warm. He is 2 months old” —Mark

The best baby seat covers and bean bags

7 AM Baby car seat cover

Promised Customer Feedback: Fits the Nuna Pipa Lite RX without being too tight around the elastic edge. You still have room to spare! And because the horizontal zippers unzip all the way to the left and right, you can still push the car seat canopy to protect from the sun while keeping their feet warm! It also works great for zipping all the way up with the hood pushed back underneath.” -SI

Bebamour baby carrier winter cover

Promised Customer Feedback: “I decided to buy this hood because of the way it attaches to the trunk (hooks on the straps) and the fact that the hood was reversible so it could be used face-forward in the trunk. Overall the cover is well designed and great for the price! The quality of the cover is better than I expected based on the price. The stitching is good and the zippers and hardware work properly. This will be a great top layer to stop the wind and help keep in the heat.” —Kaylin L.

JJ Cole Bundle Me Winter Baby Seat Card and Bunting Bag

Promised Customer Feedback: “It fits the Chico Bravo 360 car seat and keeps my 3 month old very warm and cozy as the temperature starts to drop. Easy to install and the zipper keeps her covered since she usually likes to take blankets off.” —4 Bits

Stroller 7am

Promised Customer Feedback: “It was perfect. Super easy to attach as there are multiple loop options. The addition of the extra length that can be unzipped is very cool and allows me to use it for a long time. The zipper on the front allows me to tuck my baby's hands all the way inside. She doesn't like gloves so we can put her little hands inside and zip it up to her chin. Within minutes her hands were warm. Check the weather rating on the different versions of this bag. This is rated for bad weather so we could dress her normally without a coat and put her in there to be comfortable. I love this thing!” —A.G

Yoofoss child car seat cover

Promised Customer Feedback: “Bought it for my daughter and she loves it. Keeps her baby nice and warm when it's cold outside. The flap is nice for blocking the wind and the magnets are great for keeping the flap away from baby's face.” -strawberry

The best kids snowshoes, snowshoes and coats

Arctix Baby Chest High Bib Onesies

Promised Customer Feedback: “I needed snow pants for my 13 month old. They fit perfectly. They are super cute, good quality, and must be comfortable and warm because she won't let me take them off. Coincidentally, my grown child recently bought this brand of snow pants and loves his too.” —OneAwesomeBroad

The North Face Baby Freedom Snow Suit

Promising customer feedback: “We live in Minnesota and our winters are brutal, with temperatures expected to be -9 for the next few weeks. This suit keeps him warm. It's not that bulky on him, even though the arms and legs are long. It's quite thin but extremely warm because he sweats when we get home.” -You

Buckle Me Baby Coats Quick Close Safer Car Seat Winter Jacket

Promised Customer Feedback: “I can confidently say that this is one of the best purchases I've made for my son and my sanity. Being a first time mom, I had no idea how to handle winter jackets and car seats. The back of the jacket is very thin, about as thick as a sweatshirt, so I feel perfectly safe holding him in this coat while strapped in the car seat. I ordered a size up as this is what the company and other reviewers recommended. Overall, it fits great! Since my little one is curious about gloves, having these long sleeves really comes in handy.” —Miss Banana

Columbia Infant Snuggly Bunny Bunting

Promised Customer Feedback: “This is our second Snuggle Bunny and it's perfect. We live in a cold state and spend a lot of time outdoors year round. This suit keeps our daughter incredibly warm. We use it for everyday use, for sledding, for skiing and for the playground. It's just the best snowsuit.” — abr

Urban Republic Baby Pram Snow Suit

Promised Customer Feedback: “It's super easy to get your little one in and out, the front zips all the way down so you can easily slip them in to put their arms and legs in and then zip it up! This keeps my baby SO cozy and warm on our winter hikes. I would size up if you plan on having your child wear layers under the suit so they have some room to move around in the suit.” —Alice
