Boys' Raincoats for Ages 2 to 8
Raincoats for boys aged 2 to 8 are made for the wet days between nursery, school and the park. A raincoat's job is to keep the rain off, so it is usually lighter than a padded coat and works as the top layer over whatever he is wearing. Pair it with wellies for the school run, weekend walks and splashing through puddles. For a warmer padded coat, see the wider Jackets & Coats collection.
Go by your son's height rather than his age. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. In autumn and winter the raincoat is the top layer, so put a jumper or fleece underneath and pick a size with room for it. If he is near the top of his size, go up one, so 110 cm becomes 116 cm. Each coat has its own washing instructions, so follow the care label.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's raincoat collection for boys aged 2 to 8 has waterproof coats for wet school runs and outdoor play, made to layer over a jumper or fleece, and a 4-year-old boy usually takes 110 cm.
What size raincoat will fit my 3-year-old over a jumper?
Go for 104 cm, the usual size for a 3-year-old. Move up to 110 cm if he is tall for his age or wears a thick fleece underneath. The extra length gives him room to grow through the season.
What should my son wear under his raincoat on a cold, wet day?
A jumper or fleece over a long-sleeved top is usually enough down to about 5°C. Below that, a raincoat on its own is too thin for a 2- to 8-year-old, so switch to a padded coat from Jackets & Coats.
