Anyone want to help me shop for a raincoat and rain boots for DD1? Waterproof and adorable is what I'm looking for. TIA!

I saw a bunch of cute rain boots that are online only at target.com

DD and DS both got rain coats and rain boots from Disney store. They're on clearance.

There are also rain boots on Zulily today.

I hadn't thought as far as price range, just wanted the cuteness to justify the price... why, do you have some pricey ones you like?

We got the paddington bear raincoat and boots from babygap. Classic and adorable!

If price is no object, I love Hatley: https://www.hatley.com/en_us/girls/outerwear.html

I actually think the cupcake design, which is not on their site right now, but is available elsewhere, is my fave: https://www.cwdkids.com/servlet/quagga/specials/product.jsp/_qprm_/browse?groupId=12077&itemid=R890&utm_source=Google-Product-Search&utm_medium=organic&gclid=CN2KipqFiL0CFUpnOgodtWkAgw

My kids have Hunters. They were free for me because they are hand me downs from my brothers' kids. Hatley raincoats are cute but also expensive.

Also, not sure if you want Wellie-style or are open to options. I just got DD Baby Boggs on clearance at REI, and I think they're adorable! But there's no matching raincoat. https://bit.ly/1fQpz0r

ETA: Holy long link! Shortened

Someone tell me why DD would need rainboots and a raincoat? I don't own either, so I'm sure that I can't justify getting them for her. Do they go outside in the rain at daycare or something, or is it just because they're cute?

Really cute was my initial reasoning, which is why I held off on buying them. But this week, the kids are going out to explore what's left of the snow, and DD has no snow boots, so it seemed to make more sense to buy rain boots that she can wear now and throughout spring. DS has rainboots that he got for his bday. He loves them and wears them every.single.day, raining or not.

James started wearing raining boots last spring, so 2 years old, to play outside after it rained. Jump in the puddles, kid stuff. We get a lot of rain so it was handy to put him in boots instead of shoes that I didn't want to get ruined/super dirty. His playground at school is rubber flooring so it isn't a daycare thing. He loves wearing rain boots so it is just a fun thing for him. He wears them when we are out running errands if it has rained or to school in the rain but I put sneakers on him when we get into school. I put Leo in them sometimes when James is wearing his just because it is cute. He doesn't ever walk in parking lots.

Oh, and I have never bought rain jackets. We use spring weight jackets and baseball hats. I have a big umbrella that we all fit under if it is really raining hard. I might buy some this year for the cute factor.

Interesting! Thanks @melody_921 & @hmp1!

I honestly wasn't sure and was wondering what was wrong with me why I wouldn't let Nanc go out in the rain.

I do think rain boots are a great idea, especially since we've all been going stir crazy with the never ending winter.

jenndub · March 2014

Wait, is it supposed to rain for rain boots to be worn? Because my son has clearly not figured that out. And we buy rain boots for the girls purely for cuteness reasons. It rains like 6 days a year here.

I love this raincoat from Kidorable on Amazon:

And they have matching boots!

Yeah, DD pretty much yells "BALL" and runs to the front door as soon as she wakes up every day. She doesn't understand when I say "Not today, it's 36 and raining out" so I want her to be able to go outside once the rain stops without soaking her feet. A raincoat would be just for cuteness, but the boots make sense to me.

These are adorable

We are the crazy people who go out and play in the rain, the dogs need to go out and if my house is going to smell like wet dog anyway I want to jump in the puddles and have a little fun before the stink. Plus spring in the upper mid west is muddy and I think snow boots are hart too clean. Rain boots are super easy to hose off.

That IS adorable. I feel like a rain trench would get wear as an all-around spring jacket, not just on rainy days, making it less of a splurge. I might have to go for the navy one

My daughter has Bogs and I love them. They are so cute and she gets so many compliments on them. They are machine washable and easy to keep clean.
