Which jacket should you choose for your baby or child this fall/winter? The guide + our favorite reversible jacket

With the arrival of the cold, all parents ask themselves the same question: which jacket should they choose for their baby or child, between 12 months and 6 years old?

Between coats that are too heavy, bulky down jackets and vests that aren't warm enough, it's sometimes difficult to find the perfect piece.

In this article, we present to you:

• the essential criteria for choosing a baby or child's jacket,
• the different types of jackets available,
• and our favorite of the season: the reversible bouclette & gingham jacket, trendy and practical.

1. How to choose the right jacket for your baby or child?
a) Warmth and comfort

A jacket must provide effective protection from the cold without being too heavy. Children move around a lot and need to be able to move freely.

b) Practicality

Choose easy closures (snaps, buttons, zip), simple maintenance and a garment that is easy to put on, even when the child is wriggling.

c) The right size

A jacket that is too tight will cause discomfort for your child. A jacket that is too big will not keep you warm. Always check the size guide before purchasing.

d) The style

Because we also like to dress our children tastefully, the jacket must be trendy and versatile: suitable for nursery, school and outings.

2. The different types of baby and children's jackets

• The coat or down jacket: ideal in the middle of winter, but often too bulky in mid-season.
• The knitted cardigan: perfect for indoor use or on milder days.
• The reversible jacket: the ideal compromise between comfort, style and practicality.

3. Why choose a reversible jacket?

The reversible jacket is increasingly popular with parents because it offers many advantages:

• Two looks in one garment: practical and economical.
• Versatile: one side dressed up, one side more casual.
• Mixed: suitable for both girls and boys.
• Save space: no need to accumulate several different jackets.
