Is this coat warm enough?

[Momma22]

Just bought this little coat online for my nearly 3 year old DD, it's described as being fleece material, and described as a coat rather than a 'cardigan' or 'jacket' which sounds as if it would be nice and warm? But at £11.60 I'm a bit dubious? Have I just bagged a bargain or is this little more than a fancy cardigan? Anyone else's DD have this coat, or came across it in store? I thought I'd give it a go anyway, might be alright for just nipping out in the car if it's not as warm as it looks.

My DD had a very similar one a couple of years ago. I'd say it's ok for Autumn...a nice alternative to a thicker coat but it's not going to see her through winter. It's more of a dress coat really. They're light and easy to wear so it was a fave for us but I did get my DD another coat which was more waterproof and padded. So in short, it's a fancy cardigan as you say.

See DD had something similar from Tesco a couple of years ago and that was nice and warm? Think that coat might have been wool though? I think you might be right, could be okay if we're out in the car then heading straight indoors somewhere. However I think I might also have to get her a padded waterwproof coat, for playing in the park/walks etc, sounds silly but although I know they're warmer and more practical I'm really not keen on how they look. I like something a little smarter with more structure, have been looking at duffle coats but they're so blooming expensive everywhere! Will keep my eyes peeled for a bargain, I like my DD to look nice but I hate paying over the odds for clothes she's only in for a few months

I find girls hard work to dress, i can’t just buy one coat and be done with it! Each winter I get my DD3 a fluffy gilet, smart coat like the one above and a wind proof waterproof etc for everyday use. Don’t get me started on shoes. Casual boots, smart boots, party shoes, wellies, trainers, snow boots...it’s neverending 🙈

It's a lovely coat but I think you will probably need a padded jacket for the winter months which is warmer and is shower resistant.

@kiabella I agree! Girls are hard work to dress. I have two nephews and they always look so tidy and smart in just a simple jumper and jeans. So much more complicated with girls. Although I have to say I do think you think cheaper shops I.e supermarkets/primark etc seem to sell far nicer stuff girls clothes than they do boys, so maybe girls are cheaper when it comes to clothes?

Have you seen this coat op

Its warm and waterproof

Aw I do actually quite like that @Yewtown love navy blues and reds as we get into the winter

To me that is a 'nice' coat for wearing to parties, out at the weekend visiting or what ever. You still need a cosy, waterproof padded jacket for every day and playing out in the winter.
