Didriksons Waterproof Rainset |

Children love jumping through muddy puddles! This soft and flexible waterproof set in a breathable material is manufactured by a company that has been providing gear for Swedish fishermen for a century. These clothes allow children to have fun in comfort while keeping their clothes underneath safe and dry. Vibrant colours add to the fun, while reflective strips ensure visibility to cars even at dusk.

Keela Waterbugs |
|
We got our little boy a one piece waterproof made by Keela. It has been fantastic as he loves jumping in puddles and the elasticated cuffs and legs seem to keep nearly all the water out. It is also pretty cool looking too and we have had lots of people ask us where we got it!
They come in sizes 6, 12 & 18 months and 2, 3 & 4 years, and there are two colour combinations red with navy or navy with red.

Rukka waterproofs |
|
These fantastic waterproofs are made by a manufacturer of biker gear - which could explain why they work!! They come as a jacket and salopettes. PU outer. Jacket has elastic wrists, large hood, drawstring hem and popper fastenings. Elasticated waist and ankles on the salopettes with elastic straps and click fastenings, though the hood could do with some support as it flops over the eyes. These appear to be fully waterproof, and sweatiness isn't really a problem with toddlers. Our little boy has been virtually immersed in water and only ended up with wet feet and wrists.
Sizing is by height and you can get either red or blue. Quite pricey, but comparable with a decent all-in-one waterproof.

Marmot Precip Jacket (Boys/Girls
) |
|
A great lightweight, breathable and durable jacket that packs down very small and so is perfect to pop into a rucksack or pushchair in case of wet weather or as a windproof layer.
The build quality is excellent with taped seams, zipper and Velcro storm proof closure and soft chin guard. The hood and cuffs are elasticated to provide a reasonably snug fit and the overall shape allows plenty of room for movement and extra layers which are all essential for active kids. These jackets have coped with all our little reviewers put them through!
Sizes range from small to extra large to fit kids from 6 to 16 years of age, though there are no toddler versions, and there are a range of cool colours for both boys and girls. Adult versions are also available. |

Bush Baby Snugbug |
|
The best bit of kit we have brought is a Bush Baby fleece ‘all in one' snug suit. We use it all the time in both the pushchair and papoose. Our little girl hates gloves so the fold over arms and feet are fantastic for keeping her really warm. We always pack this in our baby kit bag as it doesn't take up much space and we have something to keep her really warm if the weather suddenly changes.
Extra Information: The Snugbug suit comes in three sizes (0-6months, 6-12months and 1-2yrs) and four colours (royal blue, pale blue, red and pink).
