Baby Boys' Parka Coats
A baby boy parka coat is the longer, hooded choice among the baby coats. It reaches below the hips, so it covers the nappy and keeps his back warm when he is picked up. Sizes run from newborn to 24 months, for boys who are carried, pushed in the pram or taking first steps outside. Parkas are made for the coldest weeks, from late autumn into winter. For older boys, see the main Parkas page.
Sizing is by height in centimetres, so measure him rather than going by age. A baby boy parka for 3-6 months is usually 68 cm, and a baby boy parka for 6-12 months moves from 74 cm to 80 cm as he grows. Leave room for a jumper or fleece underneath, since a parka is worn over layers, and take it off before strapping him into a car seat. Check the care label before washing.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's baby boy parka coats are longer hooded coats for boys from newborn to 24 months, and each baby boy parka is sized in centimetres by height, with 74 cm the usual size at 6 to 9 months.
What size parka should I buy for a newborn baby boy?
A newborn usually takes 56 cm, and a baby boy parka for 0-3 months is 62 cm. Babies grow quickly at this age, so if he is long for his age, go up one.
What should a baby boy wear under a parka on a cold day?
A vest, a top and a jumper or fleece are usually enough under a parka at around 5°C. Feel his chest or the back of his neck to check he is not too warm, and take the coat off indoors.
