DD(7) walks to school, and she wears a high viz vest over her winter coat - under duress.
She doesn't like it because nobody else wears one, and it takes her longer to get changed because she is taking off two things, and it falls of her peg bacause it hasn't a hook and .
So I was thinking it would be be great if I could get her a fluorescent yellow or orange winter coat with big reflective stripes- sort of like the people that mend the railways wear.
She likes yellow and orange, so I think she would be happy to wear it - it's the fact that the vest makes her different rather than the colour of it that she doesn't like.
I have actually seen some fluorecent yellow down jacket type things, but DD needs a fully waterproof warm coat for the walk to school, not just showerproof, and also they don't have reflective strips (another thing I am totally anal about).
Has anyone ever seen anything?
Or failing that, a really, really bright winter coat, with reflective piping?
(I would quite like a high viz hat for her as well...)
