We all have an idyllic vision in our minds about snow. Friends and families quickly wrapping up warm, keen to throw snowballs, ride sledges and build snowmen with tinkling laughter and rosy cheeks. Not once in these visions to these people pause or scrabble about to find something warm to wear. This is because they are prepared. They have warm outerwear to hand from October through to March just in case. And the little ones all have snuggly snow suits.

Kidswear brand Frugi’s head of design Jeni Bolton says:“When looking for an all-in-one suit for little ones, at Frugi we always suggest buying from a sustainable brand who use sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic. As busy parents, we also want to focus on easy dressing, so double zips with zip guards to protect little chins and smooth lining in the arms are a must. Then it’s all about protection and warmth – so integrated feet and fold back mittens make keeping little hands and toes toasty and fuss free. It should also be padded for warmth and of course waterproof.”

Get ready to live the snow dream with our pick of the best children’s’ snow suits. We chose them based on comfort, protection from the elements, ease of use and of course, snuggliness. We waited for a chilly day and wrapped our little testers up for a walk in the park and some puddle splashing.
