Baby Boys' Jackets and Coats
A baby boy jacket is one of the first things to sort before his first cold walk, and this page gathers every outer layer from newborn to 24 months. Padded coats, parkas and snowsuits keep him warm in the pram in winter; gilets, raincoats, denim, bomber and track jackets cover the milder months. Each style has its own section below, so you can compare them side by side.
A snowsuit or pramsuit is an all-in-one that covers legs as well as body, which suits babies who are carried or in the pram. Once he walks, a separate coat is easier. A baby boy coat for 6-9 months is usually 74 cm; allow room for a knitted layer. A baby boy summer coat or light jacket is useful for breezy evenings. Take thick coats off in the car seat so the harness sits close.

Your questions answered
MINOTI sells baby boys' jackets and coats from newborn to 24 months, including padded coats, parkas, pramsuits, gilets, raincoats and denim jackets, in centimetre sizes where a baby of 12 to 18 months usually takes 86 cm.
How much room should a baby boys' jacket leave for layers?
Enough to fit a bodysuit and a jumper underneath without the sleeves riding up. For a baby of 9 to 12 months, 80 cm is the usual size; go up to 86 cm if he is long for his age.
Does a baby need a coat on a spring day in the UK?
A light layer is usually enough above about 15°C: a thin jacket or gilet over a long sleeve top. Below 10°C, a padded baby coat or pramsuit is warmer. A 3-month-old usually takes 68 cm.
