TN winters?

This will be my first winter in TN and I am just wondering just how cold it is. I am expecting a baby in February and was thinking about purchasing this for the baby's car rides http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2266846#prod_prodinfo but don't know if it would be too hot here. Any thoughts?

Re: TN winters?

  • We had 6 month old twins this past winter - and never needed anything like that (although I do admit I was tempted to buy one of those BundleMe things..those are cool!). ?We always just put them in warm clothes and placed a blanket on top of them - but it never got cold enough to warrant something like that. ?We did make a trip up to Indiana for Christmas, and could have definitely used those there...but by the time you really get your baby out and about, it just won't be cold enough. One less thing to buy, I guess? ?

    ?One thing I would definitely suggest buying, if you don't already have them, are those Halo Sleep Sacks. ?We keep our house fairly cold at night, and I'm too nervous to put a loose blanket on a baby in a crib, so those things kept them warm and gave me a peace of mind.

    ?Best wishes for your pregnancy!

  • I had DS3 in February last year. I didn't get anything for him. I just put a fleece blanket over him in the carrier and he was fine. (we can get to our garage from inside the house if that makes a difference-- but I took him to Kroger and Target when he was 3 days old).
  • It very rarely gets below freezing and stays there for more than a day or so. ?In Feb, you are likely looking at 40's during the day. ?

  • I will add that I grew up in Maine, so my view of cold is somewhat different than what people here think.?

    I have a fleece jacket or a pea coat that I wear most of the winter. ?I pull out the heavy winter jacket maybe once a year. ? ?
