Best Baby Snowsuit Part 1

Hello ladies, since it is getting colder and winter is around the corner, I've decided to do a snowsuit week. Every day I will pick a snowsuit and review it, so that by the week's end you will have a good idea as to which one to get for your little one. So listen up!


Baby Gap Warmest Cargo Snowsuit

My friend Olga has been looking for a snowsuit for her fourteen-month-old Tim for the past several months. There are plenty of beautiful high quality expensive snowsuits, but none of them spoke to her. Luckily, we stumbled upon the Baby Gap Warmest Cargo Snowsuit. This snowsuit is pretty soft and very flexible, so your toddler will not feel stiff wearing it and can actually toddle around in it. It is a beautiful masculine color blue, very elegant, simple but stylish at the same time. It is actually 75% down filled, which makes it incredibly warm. It is polyester on the outside, which is a good thing since it makes cleaning easy. It is machine washable, though personally I would not recommended machine-washing anything with down in it. It will only take you ten minutes to wash it by hand, so why take a chance ruining it? And because it is really warm, you don't really need more than one layer of clothing underneath when wearing it.

Next is the description of the suit from the Baby Gap website:
  • Long sleeves with interior storm cuffs and foldover mittens for extra warmth, faux-fur trim at hood.
  • Full zip front with a front snap placket, cargo pockets at chest and sides.
  • Sizes 0-12 months have a foldover cuff at the leg openings; sizes 12 months and older have an interior storm cuff.
  • Snowsuit has cozy fleece lining and topstitching throughout.
  • High-quality comfortable down-filled and water-resistant polyester snowsuit.
OK, it's me again. I've saved the best part for last. And the best part is the price tag!!! It only costs $59.50. This is the cheapest high quality snowsuit I have found.

There is also a girl version of this snowsuit.

The downside: If you are looking for a snowsuit for a newborn, and your newborn is small to average, regrettably you might need to keep looking for another snowsuit, since the smallest size this snowsuit comes in is 0-6 months. Because it is meant to fit a six-month-old baby, it might be way too large for your newborn. Another thing is that the suit is not waterproof (though most of them aren't). However, you do not need to worry about your baby getting wet from rain unless it really pours cats and dogs. But if you need the snowsuit to go skiing on a weekly basis, you might need the Doux Par Doux snowsuit I will speak about later this week. And one last thing: the girl version of this snowsuit is not as pretty and elegant as the boy version, though the quality is just as good.

The verdict: I really tried to find something negative about this snowsuit, but as you can tell from my previous paragraph, there's not much to dislike. This is an amazing snowsuit with an equally amazing price tag. My friend Olga is absolutely in love with it, and her son Tim actually refuses to take it off, fighting back when she tries to undress him.

Truthfully, if I had a boy and needed a snowsuit, I probably wouldn't even wait for my other posts this week and just order this one. However, if you're looking for something else, I still have plenty of good ones to share with you.

Love this suit! Thanks Jenya, you rock. It's so cozy and cute, it's also really easy to put on. Nathaniel doesn't even complain when I'm dressing him, and that says a lot:)

You are very welcome! I'm glad that all the shopping and researching I do can actually be useful :-)

He looked like a little man wearing it today ;)
