  I was reading some safety information that suggested putting children in a fleece as opposed to a heavy jacket, because in the event of an impact, it would compress the materials, and leave more room (literally and figuratively) for injury. 

  I found DD's fleece jacket at Old Navy where they are currently have a 1/2 off sale- it seems pretty warm and snuggly:

  I always struggle with this, too.  I agree with what PP said.  Last year, DS wore and Osh Kosh coat kind of like this.  In my opinion, the weight was suitable for outside play for fall and spring.  I am eyeing this one at ON for this year.

  I have heard that fleece is best too. Last year DD had a fleece zip up hoody jacket from lands end for the car. She also had a heavy winter jacket for playing outside or for more extended periods outside.

  Thanks to the PP for the Old Navy PSA!

  I use the version of this ON coat without the hood for DD.
