The suspenders are adjustable, allowing your little one some growing room before it’s time to go grab a new pair, and the elasticized side gussets allow for maximum motion. Boot gaiters with grippers leave no room for cold and moisture to get in or for warmth to escape.
Materials
Made from 100 percent polyester, this little ensemble essential is 120 grams of ThermaTech Insulation, meaning extra warmth with none of the added bulk. 600 denier ballistic nylon reinforces the ankle, scuff and hem guards so it will survive the elements and the force of nature that is your toddler.

The diagonal zipper is easy to take on and off for parents who may need to change a diaper quickly.
This is suitable for colder winters so fear not, this is a safe choice for those experiencing harsher climates
While no coat is truly car seat safe (see our FAQ on car seat safety), this coat is especially not car seat safe as the material is puffy and slippery when wet.
Many customers say the sizes run large, it may be wise to purchase a size down.
Don’t worry parents of newborns and the truly-tiny, we haven’t forgotten to include snowsuits for the littlest of humans.
Read moreDesign
This model offers a fun variety of designs, some having furry hoods, and some not. Colors are abundant as well. The suit even comes with foldable cuffs for extra warmth if it is needed.

Ease of Use
Easy in an out is a key factor to a good snowsuit for babies after all the family ski trip will be much more enjoyed on the slopes then fumbling with coats in the bathroom.
4. Pink Platinum Printed
20 different styles to choose from
Polar fleece lining
Cuffed at ankles and wrists to keep snow out
Comfortable and lightweight
Not waterproof; will need treating
Quick wear and tear on some sets
It’s cute, it’s comfy, and it’s made for cool weather. The Pink Platinum Printed Two-Piece is a solid little snowsuit for babies and toddlers. It’s available in a range of sizes and includes one pair of overalls and one polar fleece lined jacket. With twenty different styles to choose from, you and your child can pick something they’ll be excited to wear! You’re eligible for a free winter headband with purchase, as well. These suits are comfortable and lightweight so kids can move around and enjoy their time in the snow! They’ll need a little extra treatment to waterproof them but they’re a moderately priced item that you can treat and condition to suit your family’s needs.

Available in sizes 12 months to 6X, this is the perfect snowsuit for babies and toddlers. The Pink Platinum Printed Two-Piece comes in basic solid colors as well as fashion forward prints. Get fun and funky in leopard print, floral patterns, polka dots, and more! Elastic cuffs on the sleeves and ankle gaiters keep body heat from getting out and cold, damp snow from getting in. Users suggest that the jacket fits a little small, not leaving much room for layering, but the overalls run a little large.
Materials
Made from 100% polyester, this suit is meant to help deflect water and damp weather. A polar fleece lining helps to trap body heat and keep kids warm. It can be gently machine washed and comes with a free headband upon purchase. While this set will keep your little one warm with some additional layers, it doesn’t appear treated for extreme weather, so make sure you condition it properly before taking it out on the town if you live in a harsh climate and intend to be outside for long periods of time, or want to play in the snow.
Ease of Use
Adjustable shoulder straps make this a good option for children in between growth spurts. It’s easy to get kids into and out of as both pieces zip right down the front. You can launder it on gentle settings in the machine but be delicate as some customers mentioned that their jackets and zippers were damaged during washing. A few also reported busted seams after a few uses, which is an easy fix but certainly irritating for a new set of clothes.
5. OAKI One Piece
Reflective tape
Zip-up closure and attached hood
Adjustable at ankles and wrists
Waterproof
Breathable
You’ll need to size up for taller kids
When OAKI says they’ve made a One Piece waterproof suit, they truly do mean it’s one piece, and all-encompassing. This suit covers little ones from head to toe! A hood keeps heads dry while a zip-up closure helps to ensure no water slips down the front of your kids’ clothing. All material is PVC-free and the fabric is breathable up to 3000 MVP. Neoprene ankle cuffs and adjustable ankle and wrist straps allow you to customize the fit of your snowsuit to your child. It’s waterproof with an 8000 MM rating and comes in lots of bright colors so you can keep an eye on your favorite explorers wherever you go!
Read moreDesign
This waterproof coverall is available in seven different colors and is designed to be a gender-neutral fashion. It starts with sizes for one-year-olds and is available all the way up to 8/9T. An elastic waistband keeps it fitted with some flexibility and a velcro strap at the ankles makes these pants accessible even for shorter legs while helping to keep the elements out and heat in. Reflective tape on the arms and chest help you and others to spot them in the outdoors.
Materials
Made from a Nylon Taslon PU-coated fabric, the OAKI one piece is breathable but still keeps your child dry when they play outside. This is an insulated piece but its primary goal isn’t warmth, so we suggest using it as a layer rather than your only line of defense. It’s big enough that you can easily fit warmer pieces beneath it and then children can peel off and put on what they need to be comfortable in changing climates.
Ease of Use
Washing outerwear can be a pain in the rear. Thankfully, OAKI has made life simple with a design that is machine washable (on gentle cycles). Once your snowsuit is done rinsing, hang dry it to preserve the quality and integrity of your material. Since it’s already waterproof, you won’t need to further treat it either, just add your desired layers beneath it and get out there!

Micro-fleece lines the hood and torso
60/40 duck down fold-over cuffs

Read moreDesign
It’s a pull-on closure, and machine washable, filled with a soft 450 down fill insulation for maximum coziness. The bunting is water- and wind-resistant, and the micro-fleece lines both the hood and torso to keep soft skin comfortable. Duck down and fold-over cuffs prevent body heat from escaping. An Omni-shield repellent wards off stains and the consequences of wet weather. It comes in 11 different colors, is specifically designed to be unisex, and the fold-over hands and feet will keep baby’s extremities warm.
Materials
Made from taffeta, polyester, and micro-fleece, this little snow bunny outfit helps to keep kids warm while also preventing their clothes from staying damp under the snow.
Ease of Use
It isn’t as thick as some other buntings but is meant to be a quick and easy layer. It’s great for little ones traveling consistently, as you can bundle them up in their usual gear for the car rides, and then slip this puppy (--er, bunny?) right over it as soon as you take them out into the snow. No need to change over, just pile on the layers!

Read moreDesign
OshKosh has decided to take a left turn and spice up the variety of designs available, especially to all the little girls playing in the snow this season. The B’Gosh Baby Toddler Girls’ Snow Bib comes in a vast array of colors, designs, and patterns. From a starry night sky to snowflakes against a bright pink background, all of the designs vary significantly from each other. These snow bibs function just as well as any of the others on our list but were worthy of mention for the number of design options.

Criteria Used for Evaluation
Design
Our researchers dug through countless websites and read through numerous customer reviews to compile a list of the top 10 snowsuits and snow bibs for this winter season. Compilation of the list took into account such qualities as Design, materials, and whether or not the suits come off and go back on easily. We understand that functionality is the goal but the appearance is what makes shopping fun for parents. As such, suits made it on the list due to their fun colors and designs. We made sure to include sets of snowsuits that come with multiple colors and designs to choose from.
Materials
Also taken into consideration is warmth. Those experiencing milder winters will be happy with something thinner and more mobile whereas those in Minnesota or Chicago should opt for something more heavy-duty. There are far too many snowsuits to choose from, and being unfamiliar with the individual products can lead to accidentally purchasing inferior products that rip during their first use. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, we only included products with guaranteed durability. Only after functionality and practicality do we factor in other qualities such as color variety and adjustability.
Ease of Use
Some snowsuits are meant for babies and were considered for warmth and ease of access. We understand that nobody wants to be awkwardly fumbling with their baby’s coat to change a diaper. Nothing puts a damper on a family ski trip like uncomfortable, wet, and upset children.
Design Materials Ease of Use 
Instead of placing your baby in a car seat with a snowsuit on, you should dress them in a fleece sleeper and lay blankets on top of them once they are in the car seat. Make sure the blanket is not covering their face.
Babies lose body heat very easily. If the temperature is below 20 degrees you should limit outdoor time.
Other Factors to Consider
Fit
The biggest recurring issue with buying snowsuits and bibs is size. In researching this list, our team members were tasked with wading through a plethora of comments bemoaning sizing issues and ill-fitting snow pants. As such, we did our best to mention if the sizes seem to run small or large. Parents will also do themselves an extra favor if they take the time to look up a company’s individual sizing practices. Google is your friend here, and even with proper measurements and sizing, there is still always a chance of an awkward fit. That is why we also made sure to include brands that have fair return policies and if returns are less than easy we made sure to make mention of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
q: What size should I get?
The retail websites should have sizing guides which are the best places to start. It is also a good idea to check customer reviews and see if there is a consensus on whether or not the suits run large or small. It should be noted however that sizing will always be tricky and awkward fits can still happen even if you followed every step. As a safeguard, it is a good practice to check a company’s return policy before making a purchase.
q: Which coats are car-seat safe?
As a general rule of thumb, no coats or snowsuits are really car-seat safe. Bulkiness and often slippery material are not ideal for car safety. A handy alternative is to keep blankets in the car, so you can heat up your loved one without inhibiting safety.
q: What should I be looking for in a snowsuit?
Check insulation, some coats or bibs are not fully insulated, or only are insulated from the top down. Check to make sure that a suit is fully insulated if you want maximum warmth. Adjustable straps on snow pants are also important as they can ensure use over multiple seasons as your little one grows. Lastly, check for an asymmetrical zipper, or a zipper that goes most of the way down, which will ensure that you can take the little tyke out in case of an emergency or when nature calls.
q: How are the hoods on these snowsuits? Should I still purchase a hat?
We would recommend buying a snow cap. Not only is there always a chance the hood will not fit as snuggly as desired, but having a hat is just insurance and another option for extra warmth.
q: Should I get a one-piece or two-piece snowsuit?
One-piece snowsuits are often recommended for infants and babies as they offer the easiest on-and-off for mom and dad. If your little one is more independent and bathroom emergencies or car seats aren’t an issue, then we recommend going with a two-piece.
q: What should my child wear underneath a snowsuit?
It is best for your child to wear cotton material underneath their snowsuit, the reason being that any other material can become itchy, scratchy, and all around uncomfortable as it rubs against the material of the snowsuit.
