I need a snow suit for a 2-3 year old in a hip brace

I am a bit stuck at the minute as I have a child who has dislocated hips and is permanently in a hip brace. We live in the North East where temperatures are well below minus currently. My daughter has been in a hip cast/brace for the last two years and is finally digging her heels in about being physically restrained in the brace. She is rebelling and won't keep on a hat, gloves or a scarf much to my anxiety!

I have scoured the shops and internet for an all in one, warm snow suit, but the only ones I can find available are for smaller children. She is two but it would have to be a bit bigger probably to accommodate the brace...has anyone else experienced the same thing or can anyone point me in the right direction where I might find one?

Thanks a lot

zippy, god sounds a nightmare for both of you. There are a few waterproof fleece lined suits out there that go up to her age+. Perhaps Hippychick or Togz. Spotty otter do a similar one but might be hard to get hold of, they also do a down suit which would be v.warm but not waterproof. Spotty otter expensive tho I'm afraid.
I have had several of these (my dts are 2 and we're in Yorkshire so have had a lot of wear this last month!) and would thoroughly recommend. They're quite wide at the hip by design so may suit. They only go up to 2-3 tho although I suspect size would be ok for her. None on the JoJo site but you can often find them on here and ebay although none that I can see right now. 2-3 would be huge on my two who are still in 12-18 (girl twin) and 18-24 (boy twin). They've been great in the snow if you can find one!
