12 best toddler winter coats to keep your little ones warm and dry this winter, as chosen by mums

We love how cosy and soft the terry lining of this jacket is, whilst also keeping them protected from the elements. The Hatley Baby Stripe Lined Raincoat has a popper button fastening, and a warm hood too in case it starts raining. The standout feature has to be the cuffable sleeves, which can be folded over to expose the gorgeous contrasting lining. If you'd prefer a thicker coat for your tot, you might prefer the Padded Kids Winter Coat.

One reviewer said: "I bought this for my soon-to-be-born baby, so no comment on the fit yet, but being Canadian and Hatley a Canadian company, I have family back home who recommended this product. The outer shell is light, and looks well water proof and the inside has a soft and comfy looking material. Hatley is known in my home country of Canada for high quality and durability, and a serious cuteness factor!"

The clue is in the name with this latest winter coat from Toastie - not only is it wonderfully warm and will keep your little one toasty, but it's reversible so they can have their choice of colour, depending on that day's mood! There are three different colour ways, each a beautiful jewel tone that is perfect for Autumn and Winter.

They're made using imitation down with a PFC-free water-repellent finish, and can be machine washed at 30 degrees using a non-bio detergent and tumble dried on a cool setting or line dried. From the hood with its peak to keep the rain off, to the reflector details for extra visibility, the attention to detail is excellent. The fleece-lined hand-warmer pockets have easy popper access, while the waist is cinched inside to allow for growth.

Reviewed by Mother&Baby Digital Writer, Rebecca Lancaster: "My daughter loves this coat - it's warm and cosy without being too hot so she's been wearing it in October while it's been slightly warmer but I can see it keeping her warm in winter too. The reversible design means she gets two coats in one - perfect for a picky kid who likes to switch up her outfits regularly! I was a bit worried that the reversible design might mean there's no label for her name but there's one in the pocket and I love that this has space for 3 names - it's such a good quality coat there's definitely the potential that it will be passed down to younger cousins eventually."

With a fun design print, the Mini Boden Kid's Rainbow Weather Jersey Lined Anorak is super colourful. It has a jersey lining, making it super comfortable for little ones to wear. While we love the bold print, you might prefer a more subtle design, like the Kids Black 3 in 1 Coat.

A parent reviewer said: "A beautifully warm coat with a chunky zip that my daughter can do up independently. It's a great design as the zip doesn't get caught halfway. It's lovely and soft inside, with cuffs to keep her arms warm and poppers on the pockets so she can keep her gloves in there."

Kitted out with Stormwear™ technology, this Stormwear™ Hooded Parka Coat has a drawstring waist and faux-fur trimmed hood, as well as lined pockets. The water repellant Stormier technology protects against light showers and ribbed cuffs keep the cold out.

One reviewer, Jo, wrote: "Lovely coat for casual and school. It’s not too bulky but warm - my daughter’s still able to ride her bike/scooter comfortably with this coat whereas others can feel a bit bulky and long. The fleece lining is soft and cozy. All in all, a practical, warm, stylish jacket."

This adorable Frugi Zephyr Cord Duffle Coat is giving us Paddington Bear vibes. While this coat isn't suited to wet weather, we love the classic design and the sherpa-style fleece that makes it super warm and snug for cold weather.

A grandparent reviewer said: "My little grandson looks so good in his Frugi jacket. It is so snug and yet light enough to feel comfortable. Great for on the go, this is warm but not bulky and it squeezes into a little bag, making it easy to carry. It has great colours and it even has pockets."

Designed with play in mind, this Waterproof Kids School Coat from PO.P is warm, windproof and durable. Your little one will move freely in this lightweight and breathable coat. It also has an adjustable hood, draw cord hem, and for added warmth you can purchase the matching fleece or puffer jacket to create a layering system.

Reviewed by Digital Writer, Rebecca Lancaster: "In the last few weeks we've had torrential rain almost every day and this coat has been a lifesaver for my daughter on soggy school runs. It's kept her dry in the wettest conditions and still looks good as new, despite being shoved into her locker on a daily basis. The hood is great - it extends far enough out that it keeps the rain off her face really well. It's spacious enough (she is 7 and has the 7-8 year old) for a big jumper underneath if needed so it will be great for cold winter days but also warm, wet autumn and spring ones. I can see us getting a lot of use out of this raincoat though it would need a warm jumper or the matching fleece underneath for colder days."

Ready for any weather, this Kids Black 3 in 1 kids coat is designed for any weather. Your little one can wear either the grey puffer or black waterproof shell coat separately or zip together to make a snuggly winter coat.

One customer, Isabel, commented: "Great coat, the three in one function works really well so you have a light raincoat, a puffer jacket or a really warm winter coat. My 9yo boy is delighted with his. Really waterproof too. Expect to pass this down to his younger brother too so it’s worth the price."

For ultimate warmth, this functional Padded Kids Winter Coat has added insulation. It has extremely thick padding and a dense weave to protect against wind, rain, and even snow. Even though it is cosy, it is very lightweight because it is filled with microfibre and is only available in one colour. You might prefer the Mini Boden Kids’ Rainbow Weather Jersey Lined Anorak for a more colourful choice.

One reviewer said: "My young grandson put the warmth to the test by watching a rugby match on a freezing evening and not once complaining of being cold."

The Pink Faux Fur Padded Teddy Coat is super adorable! With featured ears on the hood and a faux fur-lined trim, it’s available in a variety of different sizes too. It's a shower resistant coat too, to help keep your little one warm and dry during the winter months.

One customer wrote: "Beautiful little coat, bought for my 2 year old granddaughter. It’s got a fleecing lining to it so nice and warm, fits great and looks so cute too."

While technically not a coat, the Peter Storm Kids' Snuggle Suit is a miniature winter onesie that will keep your tot warm and dry! It's windproof, waterproof, and come in two gorgeous colours. If you're wanting something different to a snuggle suit and prefer a coat for your tot, you might prefer the Hatley Baby Striped Lined Coat.

With storm flap detail and a protective snowguard, the All-Weather Waterproof Jacket is ideal for all kinds of weather. It has stay snug down and is fully waterproof with taped seams. It also has a sweet faux fur trim.

One customer wrote: "Jacket looks even better in person! My granddaughter loves her new jacket!" Another said: "The colours are vibrant and it is very warm. My daughter absolutely loves it. The high quality you expect from Boden."

Available in three colours, the Kid's Corrid Jacket Blue Navy coat is suitable for older toddlers and children. It's AquaDry breathable construction and a snug fleece-and-taffeta lining, meaning it's ideal for cold weathers. It's also waterproof and has extendable sleeves that provide plenty of growing room.
