Three tips when buying a snowsuit
Buying a large size might be an appealing idea, so your child can wear the snowsuit for two winters. But the risk of a snowsuit that's too large is that it will wear more quickly, for example when the trouser legs drag in the ground. It will also make it more difficult for the child to play and move around. Remember the following when you try out winter snowsuits:
Growing room in snowsuits: Snowsuits purchased in October must last until at least March. Choose a size where you can get hold of a handful of fabric in the crotch and where the child can raise their arms without their wrist appearing.
Snowsuits with extended size: There are snowsuits that can grow with the child, referred to as 'extended size'. On these suits, the legs and sleeves can be extended by simply unstitching a seam on the inside.
For a snowsuit to withstand both cold winter and mild days with slush, it's important to have good water resistance. Always check the water column indicated on the suit. Also make sure that it can withstand playing on bare ground, e.g. reinforced sections on the knees and seat.
The best thing for snowsuits is to wash them as little as possible, as machine washing breaks down their water resistance. Try to rinse or brush off dirt and mud. If you do have to wash them, perhaps because of a urine accident, it’s a good idea to choose a suit that can be washed in a washing machine and tumble dried. That means it can be clean and dry in just a few hours, just in time for the child's next playtime in the snow.
