Just because winter is coming doesn't mean your kids won't want to go to the park or into the backyard to play. Even on days when it seems too cold to even get out of bed, kids naturally love being outside — which is why having a baby snowsuit on hand is so important. Aside from playing outside, newborns and bigger babies need special protection from the wintry elements, especially with RSV making cold and flu season a bigger threat. Protecting your baby from all the elements can be as easy as slipping them into a chunky baby snowsuit — complete with gloves and a scarf — that'll make them look like the most adorable snowman ever.
So, whether your baby is heading out to play with their toys in the season's first snowfall or just needs to bundle up for a chilly walk through the park, a baby snowsuit will be your tot's most-worn piece all season long. From fleece-lined snowsuits and ones trimmed in cute fur to two-piece suits and ones with built-in gloves, there's a reliable option available for every kind of baby and toddler!
It's important to note that you should never put your baby in a car seat while wearing a snowsuit, as doing so makes the car seat unsafe. Instead, use blankets and bunting over a baby wearing lighter layers to keep them warm.
Take a browse through our top baby snowsuit picks below and bundle your sweet baby up right this winter.
1Car Seat Compatible
Ideal for newborns, this adorable baby-pink snowsuit will keep your little one's toes oh-so warm while looking cute as a button. Plus, its fur-lined hood makes a true fashion statement, and it comes in a ton of color options. Best of all, it's car seat compatible, thanks to the slits in the back that the straps can fit through to buckle baby in.
2Cute and Affordable
You don't have to spend a fortune on baby bunting, especially if your baby is not yet bipedal. H&M offers a warm, cushy, cute bunting that's easy to open and close and machine washable — all for just $40. It also ships really quickly, which, if you're anything like me, you've totally spaced on buying this, and now you need it yesterday.
3Best Accessories
Obermeyer makes spectacular snow protection for the whole family. Their baby snowsuit is not different. Designed to be both lightweight and warm, the Kleine bunting has sherpa fleece, interior fleece lining and an interior wind guard, and a little ring where you can attach their pacifier.
The foot and hand covers are maneuverable, so if you have a learning walker, they can wear boots with this snowsuit.

4Best Lighter Option
This baby snowsuit is windproof and waterproof, machine washable, and genuinely gender-neutral. It's a bit on the lighter side, so it's not made for super cold weather unless you dress your baby in a few layers beneath the snowsuit.
Primary makes great, affordable clothes for kids, and this is a great example of this. Cute, easy, and durable.
5Cool and Warm
Get ready for your baby to be 100% cooler than you, while also being 100% more snuggly. This Nike snowsuit is built to last and built to wow: It's as good-looking as it is warm and dry.
If you've had a Nike puffer coat, you know how warm they are, and yet, you don't overheat because they're also breathable. This snowsuit is open at the hands and feet, ready for your baby to get their hands and boots in the snow.
6Best Swaddle Style
Babies are wiggly creatures who oddly like feeling like they're in a straight jacket, which is what makes the Nido from 7 A.M. Enfant, an editor-favorite brand, so popular. It's designed to go in a pram, stroller, or car seat, thanks to the oval openings at the back. But it's also water-resistant and super warm and gives babies the feeling of being swaddled.

7Flexible Arms
Frosty will have nothing on your warm little one! The chevron quilting of this baby snowsuit from Urban Republic keeps babies extra warm — and the sherpa lining doesn't hurt, either. Covered mittens means baby's hands are always warm. The sleeves are stretchy, so they're also not so stiff.
8Easy Diaper Opening
Simple and effective, this navy blue baby snowsuit will keep icy water away from your babe's soft skin. The pompom on the hood adds such a cute touch, too.
One great thing about this snowsuit is the fact that it buttons down the legs fully, allowing for easy diaper changes. The material also wipes clean really well — and all parents know why that's so critical.
9Wind-Resistant
Wintertime is frigid, but your little babe will be snug as a bug in this Columbia snowsuit. With a wind- and water-resistant outer shell, it makes sure that sudden snowfall won't leave your tot cold and wet. The combo of microfleece and power-down insulation means your baby will always be wrapped in warmth.

10High-Quality
While this fitted snowsuit is lightweight, it will keep your baby warm and toasty with the force of a down comforter. Your tot will be able to enjoy making snow angels without being weighed down.
And you'll get the high-quality product you'd expect from L.L.Bean, complete with their excellent customer service. This is a snowsuit that can be passed down through siblings, too.
11Easy Zippers
The cool thing about this snowsuit is that it has two zippers that run from the neck down to the feet, which makes it much easier to slip off once you get home. It's also great for when you have to change your baby's dirty diaper while on the road. The 100% down filling will keep your baby especially cozy.
The inside is lined with ultra-soft microfleece that keeps your baby super warm and feels lovely against their sensitive skin.
