In a multitude of muted neutrals, vibrant hues, and cute patterns, this Amazon puffer is one of our favorites. And, for less than $50, it comes in a generous size range — fitting toddlers to kids. True to the brand’s name, this is an easy, essential style for everyday wear.

Editor’s Note: “This is my daughter’s go-to jacket and one of the only ones I can get her to put on without an absolute meltdown. It’s made with a soft-touch polyfill insulation that locks in heat but is still breathable and skin-friendly enough to keep her comfy. As shown in the photo, it’s built with a zipper and buttons, which allows you to decide how snugly you want it to fit. While it’s not completely waterproof, it is water-resistant, and I’ve never noticed any water soak through. The style goes with any casual outfit, which makes it an easy choice for daily wear.”

When looking for a kids’ winter coat, there are several things to consider. While you want something protective and warm, it’s also important that your child’s comfort, size, and several other additional things factor in. Here’s a list of what to look for in this important piece of outerwear for children:
Kids can grow fast, so it’s generally a good idea to buy something that’s not a super snug fit. Likely, your child will already be wearing a variety of layers beneath and you don’t want them to overheat. This also leaves room for layering, as well as gives some ventilation.
