I see it every day at school: kids not properly dressed for cold, wet winter weather. Choosing a sturdy, warm winter coat is not always easy. A warm winter coat doesn't need to be expensive, but it does need several features. Children need and want their recess breaks. But they don't enjoy recess if they are cold, wet, uncomfortable or even over heated. Here is a simple checklist for your take with you when you go back to school shopping for a winter jacket or coat. Look for these features on any coat that you buy for your child.
