I am debating between a two piece snowsuit and a one piece for this winter. Is it safe for your LO to wear just the snow pants in a car seat? What if it has a bib? Is the two piece worth it for diaper changes? Did you find that the one piece was significantly warmer? I figure in the stroller I can bundle him with blankets, but what about when I'm wearing him or he is running around in the snow? Did you get a fleece snowsuit AND waterproof one? I could do a one piece fleece and a two piece waterproof.

We have never actually gotten Ava Nichol a snow suit. Last year she was 8-11 months during winter and we just stayed inside where it was warm and she used a heavy coat and hat if we went outside but she didn't play in the snow.

I can see a lot of benefits to the two piece...like being able to keep the pants on during car rides and for easy diaper changes. I haven't really seen anything to get for Ava Nichol yet because I am sure she will play in the snow this year.

I will go completely insane if I have to stay inside! I'm not sure how much he will play in the snow, but I will be taking him on lots of walks as long as it isn't completely frigid.

I think if you are planning on walks and stuff then the fleece snowsuit would work well. Keep him nice and warm. I am looking into the waterproof ones because I am sure she will be running and rolling around in the snow so she would get soaked.

I've been looking at this one from ON. It doesn't come with feet in the bigger sizes. Unfortunately I don't think this one is car seat safe.

It is so cute! I think it will keep him nice and warm and if you can just put a blankie on him in the car seat then you can bring this with you and put it over light clothing when you get to where you are going.

I think finding something that works for the car seat will be near impossible anyway and putting this on wouldn't be too much more work than putting a jacket on when getting out of the car.

BSD, the ON one that you posted looks just like the one my SIL passed down to us. It's actually not as thick as it looks and is more fleece-like than anything. I think that we'll be using it in the car seat.

I would use that one in a car seat. I would not use snow pants in a car seat.

If I were to go pick up Cora a snow suit, it would probably be the pants with a bib (and then wear a jacket) instead of a full on suit. I don't like the idea of her having separate pieces (pants and jacket).

Thanks. I'm hoping that it doesn't look weird in a big size. I think it will be okay though. Now I just need to find a regular snow suit. I LOVE the ones at LL Bean but not the price tag. I wish I had the patience for Mom to Mom sales.
