With spring still not quite in our sights, there’s still time to ensure your baby is fully equipped and protected from the cold. In the event that you live in an area plagued with steep temperature drops and mounds of snow, you’ll wish you had a few gloves or hats on hand to protect your bundle of joy.
“You KNOW we don’t kid around with the weather when it comes to [our baby],” noted popular mommy blogger Steph of A Little Too Loud. “It’s so easy for a badly bundled kid to catch a cold these winter months so we always err on the side of one layer too many.”

Best Baby Winter Booties and Boots
The North Face Toddler Alpenglow II Boots
Promising Customer Feedback: “Arrived just in time for the seasons first snow storm! My granddaughter stayed dry and warm in her new boots. They are the perfect height for her little legs.” —Carmela
Zutano Unisex Fleece Baby Booties
Promising Customer Feedback: “These are the best infant booties available. Warm for winter, soft and stay on the feet. Two snaps for a better fit. Cute too!!” —S. Cabral
UGG Keelan (Infant/Toddler)
Promising Customer Feedback: “These boots keep my little ones feet and toes so warm and she can really balance with these as she is 16 months old. She definitely needed this full shoe instead of the one that’s more like a sock/slipper with nonslip. She likes them and they are also really easy to take on and off.” —T
Hudson Baby Fleece and Faux Sherpa Booties
Promising Customer Feedback: “Oh my goodness… I love these so much! These booties are soft, super warm and….actually stay on!!! I love adjustable Velcro make the so easy to get on and helps them stay snuggly around those pudgey baby ankles! There are grips on the bottom too to prevent slippage! They’re meant for indoors but are warm enough for winter car rides!” —Hannica
Enteer Infant Snow Boots
Promising Customer Feedback: “I have a VERY wiggly seven-month-old. [These] are very well made, and are very thick and insulated well. They are SUPER easy to put on and take off, but secure well with the double Velcro latch. There is also a stretch band that helps the ankle part fit snugly around your little one’s ankle so they won’t slip off even with rough play, crawling, or learning to walk. I will get these again when he grows out of them. Completely worth the money.” —Cass
Best Baby Winter Hats and Mittens
Holiberty Toddler Winter Gloves
Promising 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 short time it is ok. Skiing waterproof gloves are super waterproof but huge at the same time and he can’t grab the things properly or hold the reins on his balance bike. This is the reason why he loves these! I would highlight also the strap! Very useful.” —tomas_paulenda
Zutano Baby Fleece Mittens
Promising Customer Feedback: “These are great baby mittens. My 10 month old has been wearing them for about 4 months now. She has small hands and they might fit next winter as well. I chose the furry ones because they looked warmer and we live in Alaska. These keep her hands warm, are easy to get on, stay on, and the cord means they can’t get lost. I’m actually considering buying a second pair so we can always have clean mittens!” —Bunny Hugger
MarJunSep 4-Pack Winter Warm Fuzzy Fleece Baby Mittens
Promising Customer Feedback: “I loved the variety of sizes. I was able to use the smallest size for my eight-month-old and the largest size for my toddler. They are warm, fit well and come connected by a long string I found easy to snip in the middle and tie to my child’s coat, resulting in no more lost mittens! She likes them too and told me they were cozy.” —Maya S
Simple Joys by Carter’s Toddlers and Babies’ Hat and Mitten Set
Promising Customer Feedback: “This hat and mittens set worked out so well for my baby’s first winter that I’m coming back to buy another for this coming winter. The 0-9m hat was warm, soft, and fit him from 0-4 months until summer hit. The Velcro strap was easy to secure and didn’t seem to bother his chubby chin one bit. The white is pure white, which I like.” —James B.
The North Face Baby Bear Suave Oso Beanie
Promising Customer Feedback: “We love having our son stay warm on his head to his cheeks. We are outdoors most of the time hiking, at the beach or at our kids baseball games and it gets pretty cold. It’s perfect to keep our son’s head warm. He is 2 Months old” —Mark
Best Baby Seat Covers and Bunting Bags
7AM Enfant Car Seat Cover
Promising Customer Feedback: “Fits Nuna Pipa Lite RX without being too tight around the elastic edge. Still have room to spare! And because the horizontal zippers unzip all the way to the left and right, you are able to still squeeze the car seat canopy through to shield from sun while still keeping their feet warm! Also works perfectly to zip up all the way with the canopy pushed back underneath.” —B
Bebamour Baby Carrier Winter Cover
Promising Customer Feedback: “I decided to buy this cover because of the way it attaches to the carrier (hooks to the straps) and the fact that the hood was reversible so it can be used with a baby front facing in the carrier. Overall the cover is well designed and a great deal for the price! Quality of the cover is better then I expected based on the price. The stitching is good, and the zippers and overhardware all work properly. This will be a great top layer to stop the wind and help keep the heat in.” —Kaylin L.
JJ Cole Bundle Me Winter Baby Car Seat Cover and Bunting Bag
Promising Customer Feedback: “Fits on my Chico Bravo 360 car seat & keeps my 3 month old very warm & cozy as the temperature is starting to drop. Easy to install & the zippered keeps her covered since she normally likes to kick off blankets.” —4Bitts
7AM Enfant Stroller & Carseat Footmuff
Promising Customer Feedback: “This was perfect. Super easy to attach as there are several loop options. The addition of the added length that can be unzipped is very cool and lets me use this for a long time. The zipper up the front allows me to get my baby’s hands all the way inside. She doesn’t like mittens so we can tuck her little hands inside and zip it all the way up to her chin. Within minutes, her hands were warm. Check the weather rating on the different versions of this sack. This one is rated for negative-degree weather, so we could dress her normally without a coat and pop her in there so she was comfortable. Love this thing!” —AG
Yoofoss Baby Car Seat Cover
Promising Customer Feedback: “I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. It keeps her baby nice and warm when its cold outside. The flap is nice to block the wind and the magnets are great to keep the flap away from babys face.” —strawberry
Best Baby Snowsuits, Buntings, and Coats
Arctix Baby Chest High Snow Bib Overalls
Promising Customer Feedback: “Needed snow pants for my 13-month-old. They fit perfectly. They are super cute, good quality, and they must be comfortable and warm because she won’t let me take them off of her. Coincidentally, my adult child also bought this brand of snow pants recently and loves theirs too.” —OneAwesomeBroad
The North Face Baby Freedom Snow Suit
Promising Customer Feedback: “We live in Minnesota, and our winters are brutal, with temps expected to be -9 in the upcoming weeks. This suit keeps him warm. It’s not so bulky on him, even though the arms and legs are long. It is thin enough but extremely warm because he is sweating when we get home.” —Youa
Buckle Me Baby Coats Quick Close Safer Car Seat Winter Jacket
Promising Customer Feedback: “I can safely say this is one of the best purchases I got for my son and my sanity. Being a first-time mom, I had no idea how to go about handling winter jackets and car seats. The back of the jacket is very thin, about as thick as a sweatshirt, so I feel completely safe keeping him in this coat while strapped into the car seat. I ordered a size up since that is what the company and other reviewers recommended. Overall, it fits great! Since my little one is weirded out by mittens, having those long sleeves has actually come in handy.” —MissBanana
Columbia Infant Snuggly Bunny Bunting
Promising 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, sledding, the ski pulk, and the playground. It’s simply the best snowsuit.” —abr
Urban Republic Baby Pram Snowsuit
Promising Customer Feedback: “This is super easy to get your little one in and out of, the front zips all the way down so you can easily lay them in it to get their arms and feet in and then zip them up! This keeps my baby SO comfortable and warm on our winter hikes. I would size up if you plan to have your child wear layers under the suit so they have some space to move around in the suit.” —Alyssa
