66 TIPS ON CLOTHING:

My son uses a snowsuit that consists of a jacket and overall-style snow
pants. This has worked really well, and this winter will be his second
winter in this suit. The overalls keep the snow from going down his
pants or up his back, and he can use the jacket by itself. My mother
bought it for $30-40 at K-Mart, and it has held up great.
My daughter was born last January, and I used a Baby Bag for her, which
I highly recommend. It was easy to slip her in and out of it. She'd
often fall asleep after being in the car, and I'd bring her in the
house and unzip the Baby Bag without waking her up and let her sleep in
the carseat. The only drawback for us was that she developed an
inexplicable hatred of the thing at about three months, and would not
tolerate being put in it, even if we left her arms out. However, by
that time winter was almost over.
Even though we only used it for three months, it was worth it. This
year, my daughter has a one-piece snowsuit. I got this one just for
the warmth factor, since she won't be walking much this winter yet.
