Baby Girls' Puffer Jackets
A baby girl puffer jacket keeps her warm on pram walks and nursery runs from October to March. Every jacket is sized for babies from newborn to 24 months. The padding traps warm air without much weight, so she can still move her arms and crawl. Layer it over a vest and a jumper, and take it off before strapping her into a car seat, as the padding stops the harness fitting snugly.
Sizes follow her height rather than her age, so measure her before you order. A newborn usually takes 56 cm, and a baby girl puffer jacket for 0-3 months is 62 cm. If she is long for her age, go up one so the jacket fits over a jumper. Shoppers often search for a snowsuit or pramsuit; those are all-in-ones, while a puffer jacket covers the top half only, so pair it with warm trousers or leggings.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells baby girls' puffer jackets for newborn to 24 months, sized in centimetres by height, where a baby girl puffer jacket for 12-18 months is 86 cm and one for 18-24 months is 92 cm.
What size puffer jacket does a 3-6 month baby girl need?
Choose 68 cm for a baby girl aged 3 to 6 months. If she is long for her age or wears a thick jumper underneath, go up one to 74 cm, which gives more room and should last into the 6-9 month stage.
What should a baby girl wear under a puffer jacket at 6-12 months?
A vest and a long-sleeved top or thin jumper are enough under a padded jacket. At 6 to 9 months most babies take 74 cm and at 9 to 12 months 80 cm. Take the jacket off indoors so she does not overheat.
