Raincoat for dd

49 replies

As we are having such a lovely summer, I need to find a raincoat for dd. She was wearing one from BHS yesterday that let all the rain in and rendered her completely soaked through.

She is 13mo, and very girlie - does anyone have any fabulous finds for me - that actually keep the rain out?

Have you thought of
M & S

The Kidorable ones are fab - really funky. DD1 has one and along with the wellies they are so cute.

The Kidorable website seems to be linking me to American sites to purchase? Where did you but yours pgwithnumber3?

Pestomonster - Hmmm, not sure about the colours on the M&S one, bit garish. Although clearly the most important thing is that she doesn't get wet!

You will get one on ebay. They are around £22 for the raincoat and £14 for the boots.

PestoMonster · 27/06/2008 11:16

You might want to check in your local M & S though, because when I was in there last week they had a similar raincoat to the one I linked to, but it was a lilacy colour with a butterfly motif. Very cute!

Another good shop to try is H & M if you've got one of those near you.

Oooh yes - I love a rummage in H&M's kids dept - will definitely check there. The poor little thing was soaked to the skin after being caught on the way from playgroup to the car.

Farkin' weather!

Thanks pgwithnumber3 - I've cut and pasted, but they are only from age 2 as far as I can see.

pgwithnumber3 · 27/06/2008 11:24

How old is she?

pgwithnumber3 · 27/06/2008 11:24

Right, she is 13 months, sorry, having a blonde day today!

pgwithnumber3 · 27/06/2008 11:25

I think the small ones are pretty small - is she big or small for her age?

Aw she's a teeny little thing. Can't think why, she eats like a pig!

Don't worry, cut and pasted - Ha ha - its weird because it says from 1-6yrs and then age 2-3. Which one does she have?

pgwithnumber3 · 27/06/2008 11:31

Woohoo I can link BUT it won't take me to the actual page.

It is the lotus one. Pale pink and yellow, it does it from 12-18 months. 5 rows down on the right.

pgwithnumber3 · 27/06/2008 11:32

It does come with a removable hood.

Swedes · 27/06/2008 11:34

I've just bought this one from Joules for my pre-school DD

cazzybabs · 27/06/2008 11:34

Have you ordered it? Have you looked at the wellies too? They are sooooo cute! Can't wait for DD2 to be walking!
