Best Baby Snowsuit Part 5

Yesterday I told you about a completely waterproof snowsuit by Deux Par Deux. So today I decided to tell you about a similar snowsuit from Patagonia.

Baby Snow Patrol Suit

First, I should mention that the smallest size this snowsuit comes in is 18 months. So this snowsuit is for toddlers, and will not fit a baby.

Now for the review: the Patagonia Baby Snow Patrol Suit is completely waterproof and very warm, and as all Patagonia products it is made with recycled materials. It has a chin flap to protect the little chin from cold (we know, babies drool), and it also has a wind flap. This snowsuit has an additional two inches of material in legs and sleeves, which you can release if your baby begins to overgrow the suit. It even has tie-down loops to attach ski boots, for those of you who like skiing. And as I've mentioned in my previous review of the Baby Reversible Puff-Ball Bunting by Patagonia, this hood will definitely stay on. Also, the snowsuit is completely reversible.

This snowsuit is very similar to the Deux Par Deux snowsuit, in the sense that it serves the same purpose.

How is it better than the Deux Par Deux snowsuit?

It is made with recycled materials for those of you who prefer to stay green. It extends an additional two inches to grow with your child. Starting with size 2T, this snowsuit is $100.00 cheaper than the Deux Par Deux two piece snowsuits. It is a one-piece snowsuit, for those of you who prefer that over two-piece sets. Because it is completely reversible, you get two snowsuits in one. And, of course, there's the Patagonia lifetime guarantee.

How is it worse than the Deux Par Deux snowsuit?

The smallest size of this snowsuit (18 months) is more expensive than the Deux Par Deux one-piece snowsuits. The smallest size does not come with booties, mittens, or a scarf. It is nowhere near as pretty as the Deux Par Deux snowsuits. It is a one piece snowsuit, which makes it harder to potty train a toddler, for those of you who are very determined and intend to take your baby potty no matter the weather. Finally, seeing as sizing was a serious issue with the previously reviewed Baby Reversible Puff-Ball Bunting by Patagonia, it might also be an issue with this snowsuit. I recommend keeping this in mind when buying this snowsuit.

Overall, this is a very nice snowsuit. It has its minuses, but I'm sure there are plenty of moms out there for whom the combination of Patagonia's green stance, quality and practicality, make this suit a definite winner. You have the information, so now you can weigh your options and decide for yourself :-)

Good luck,
