What is a puddle suit?
A puddle suit is lightweight, all-in-one outerwear for kids that is usually splash proof and will keep them dry in rain and puddles, plus protect the clothes they are wearing underneath it from getting wet and/or muddy.
We recommend buying a size up to enable layering clothes up underneath when it’s cold, although some puddle suits are fully lined so check before you buy.
Do you really need a puddle suit?
It’s not an essential item, but a puddle suit is perfect for keeping your child dry and their clothes protected when you’re out in the rain.
As puddle suits are thin and lightweight they can be folded down and packed away, so are ideal for travel or taking out and keeping on standby in case the weather changes when you are out and about.
What to consider when buying a puddle suit
Material
Think about why you are buying a puddle suit. Don’t confuse the garment with a snow suit which is a warm, padded all-in-one suit for use in cold and snowy conditions.
A puddle suit is essentially made of lightweight, waterproof material for keeping your child dry and stop them from getting soaked in rainy weather.
Cost
If you are planning on using the puddle suit regularly you may want to invest in a high quality, durable one which will stand the test of time or alternatively, if you are buying one for a short break you may opt for one which is more affordable.
There are a wide range of puddle suits available so its down to preference which one you decide to go for.
Style
As you have seen, puddle suits are usually all-in-one garments although you may want to opt for the dungaree style which is adjustable and may last longer as your child grows.
Then there are also the separates options, where you can buy just the waterproof trousers, just the jacket or 2-piece sets.
Another deciding factor will be the design or print of the puddle suit. From simple plain, bold colours to funky prints or character ears, there are lots of options to choose from.
