Girls' Raincoats for Ages 2 to 8
A raincoat for a girl aged 2 to 8 has to cope with the school run, the walk to nursery and wet afternoons in the park, when every puddle needs jumping in. It is lighter than a padded coat, so it works from spring to autumn over a jumper or sweatshirt. In colder months it can go over a fleece or gilet. For padded coats, see Jackets & Coats.
Choose by height rather than age: a 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. A raincoat keeps the rain off but adds little warmth, so below about 10°C put a fleece or jumper underneath and leave room for it when you choose the size. Hoods and fastenings vary from coat to coat, so check the product page before you buy. Wash as the care label says and let the coat dry naturally.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's raincoats for girls aged 2 to 8 are waterproof coats for wet school runs and outdoor play, sized by height in centimetres, and a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm.
What size raincoat should I buy for a 5-year-old girl?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. If she is tall for her age or you want room for a jumper underneath, go up one to 122 cm. Measure her height in bare feet to get the closest match.
Will a raincoat bought in spring still fit her next autumn?
Usually, if you go up one. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm, and buying 116 cm in spring leaves room for a jumper underneath by autumn. Turn the sleeves back until she grows into them.
