When it’s pouring outside, it’s much easier to get them ready for the outdoors if they enjoy what they are wearing. Here are 5 picks for cute raincoats for your little girl or boy.

Wow Winter Jacket from Makie

Erin Behan — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:20:00 GMT

I've been stumbling upon Makie's clothing and outerwear all across town, but it's this GASA winter jacket that's caught my eye. There are several (very lucky) kids running around my neighborhood in it, and I know kids don't care that side buttons are tres chic, but they are. Despite the higher than average kids winter coat price tag ($158 at Makie), it's not completely impractical. The jacket is fleece-lined and made of 100 percent cotton. And, as a bonus, it's made in the U.S., so you can feel good about stimulating the economy when you click "Add to Cart."

Star Kid: How Does Michelle Williams Keep Matilda’s Feet Warm?

SunnyChanel — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:00:00 GMT

Tis the season for hot cocoa, Christmas Carols and…Uggs. Yes, these cozy but questionably stylish boots have been ubiquitous with this time of year. Here Michelle Williams takes a bundled up Matilda on a chilly walk, but Matilda’s feet are undoubtedly warm and toasty in these Ugg Kids Clasic Boots ($93). These sheepskin lined boots keep moisture away while keep little feet nice and dry.

More for the Skater Baby and His/Her Parents

Erin Behan — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:48:00 GMT

So after my Etnies shoe/onesie find earlier this morning, I got inspired to search for more skater baby gear. Beyond a lot of skull onesies, the truly dedicated skater baby doesn't have a lot to choose from. But there is this Born to Love Clothing! baby beanie visor at Urban Baby Runway for $22.50. It also comes in pink, but I think this cute black, grey and tan argyle design works well for both sexes ... get your riot grrrl started early.

No Lost Mittens: Oeuf's Two-in-One Mittens

Erin Behan — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:00:00 GMT

While it's entirely possible that there are more precious mittens in the world somewhere, I challenge someone to tell me about them (really, post in the comments section below). Oeuf's double-mitten set at This Auto has a spot for mommy or daddy hands and for kid hands--all for $60. Expensive for one pair of mittens, yes, but more reasonable when you consider you're getting two-for-the-price-of-one and you're less likely to lose mittens than your rugrat is. And how cute will you look holding mitten hands while walking down the street?

Bonus: You can impress your little one by reciting the "Three Little Kittens" nursery rhyme.

BearHands Mittens Provide Warmth and an Escape Hatch

Mir — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:02:00 GMT

They're funny-looking, and that's exactly why your kids will want to wear 'em -- BearHands aren't so much for "sleek," but they'll go great with an impressive roar. For parents, the best part is that they can be slipped off the top of the hand for easy finger access, putting an end to the mittens ripped off and dropped in a puddle (or left behind in a snow drift, never to be seen again). Live in a particularly icy climate? Put those cheapie magic gloves on underneath, for a double shot of warmth.

Buy 'em direct from the manufacturer in an array of colors; sizes run from 6M up to 13 years, and prices start at $11.95.
