When you need it
A puddle suit becomes useful from around 12 months, when toddlers start walking and want to explore outdoors in all weather. It stays useful until about 5 years for rainy walks, muddy playgrounds and daycare outdoor time.
What to look for
Look for fully waterproof fabric, taped seams and elastic cuffs that seal over boots and gloves. Reflective details help on gray days, and a hood that stays put is useful. A roomy fit lets you layer clothes underneath. Check that it is easy to wash and dry.
Rain & Puddle Suit: common questions
