Best Toddler Winter Coats

Primary’s puffer jackets are warm, lightweight and affordable, three features that put them at the top of our favorites list. Since they’re not super bulky, they’re easy for your toddler to wear and to move around in freely. They’re also available in a range of fun, bright colors. The elastic hood and cuffs help your toddler stay warm and the jacket can be tossed right in the washing machine whenever it gets dirty.

One of the warmest toddler winter coat options on our list, this jacket from outdoor brand Patagonia is insulated with 700-fill-power 100% recycled duck and goose down to keep your little one cozy no matter the weather conditions. It features elastic cuffs, an insulated hood and a water-repellent shell that’s constructed from postconsumer recycled nylon ripstop made from recycled fishing nets. It’s pricy, but worth the investment if you live in a cooler climate or are looking for a coat you can pass down through siblings. Pro tip: Patagonia coats run on the larger side.

Similar to the Patagonia jacket but a bit more affordable, this coat from L.L. Bean is filled with 650-fill power down and has a water-resistant shell made from recycled nylon. It’s reflective on the back, a nice-to-have feature if your little one regularly plays outside toward the end of the day when it’s starting to get dark. Parents love that it’s both warm and lightweight.

This toddler winter coat offers a lot for the price. It’s reversible, wind- and water-resistant and has a hood and a cozy sherpa lining for extra warmth. There are two front pockets for gloves (or for any tiny treasures your toddler just can’t let go of) and the coat’s outer material is made from 100% recycled polyester.

Boden coats are stylish and warm—an ideal combination. This one uses an environmentally friendly water-repellent coating, so it’s perfect for playing outside in the snow. (It will keep your toddler warm down to zero degrees Fahrenheit.) The lining is insulated with polyester, so it’s a good choice if you’d like to skip down. And there’s one really cool feature: the sleeves are detachable, converting the jacket into a vest for warmer days.

Another sustainable option, this reversible puffer jacket from Hanna Andersson is made from recycled and water-resistant fabric, making it an eco-friendly (and warm!) choice for a toddler winter coat. There’s a print side and a solid side, and although it’s on the fluffier side, it’s not too bulky that it will restrict your toddler’s movement. It’s machine washable and can be tumble dried on low.

Part of Target’s Adaptive Clothing line, this puffer from in-house brand favorite Cat & Jack has several adaptive features including flat seams and no tags for sensory comfort, zip-off sleeves and breakaway sides.. It’s made from recycled polyester and is both water- and wind-resistant.

If you’re looking for a toddler winter coat that’s gender-neutral and eco-friendly, this one from Carter’s is a good choice. It’s made from organic fabric and sustainable recycled polyester, and it features a sherpa-lined hood for extra warmth.

ThermoBall is an eco-friendly insulation material that’s made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. This highly-reviewed jacket is another lightweight-but-warm parent favorite that’s machine washable (and dryer friendly) and features elastic on the hood, hem and cuffs. It’s water-repellent, so it works in snow and rain, and has a chin guard to prevent any zipper pinches.
