Cold Weather Tips for 9 Month Old

Upper West Side · October 2013

In December, I'm traveling with a 9 month old, spending one week in NYC and one week in Boston. I lived in NYC for a decade, but never with a baby. Now I live in the South so I have no idea what the best cold weather products are for my son. Would fleece bunting and some sort of stroller bundler be sufficient for 40 degree weather? Or do I need something down? My baby is a bit of a hot box so I don't want to overheat him, but I don't want him to be cold.

Any tips or product suggestions?

Get a fleece jacket for use while in a car seat. These are the only jackets approved for use in them. Other than that I'd get a nice blanket for the stroller and maybe a rain jacket. Nothing fancy for 40 degree weather.

I like the JJ cole covers. Not the bundle me. There is one that is fleece. You can put it over the cars seat and the stroller. We live in PA so I use it a lot.

I agree with the fleece jacket. Just make sure you have layers (i.e., short sleeve onesie + long sleeve shirt + fleece). And a good hat that covers the ears to stay warm! Old Navy has a lot of cute winter hats right now.
