Off the hanger

the exact example we checked

One example per brand, with its regular price. Each card opens the brand's own page for it. Brands A to Z.

What to look for

  1. Car seats and winter coats: read the AAP's winter car seat tips. Source: AAP
  2. Water wording is each brand's own. "Water-resistant", "water-repellent" and a waterproof rating in mm are different claims; we copy the wording from the product page.
  3. Fill and lining are on the fabric label. Down, synthetic fill, fleece and wool all appear among the examples here.
  4. Check the smallest size. Some jackets start at newborn or 0–3 months, and others start at 6–12 or 12–18 months.
  5. Sizes vary by brand. Many brands size by weight and height, not age. See each brand's sizes

How many jackets and coats to buy

Typical counts from 11 published baby clothing checklists, adjusted to your answers.

How far ahead are you shopping?

Your call. Some parents buy the first size and shop as baby grows; others stock up a year out. Babies grow at their own pace, so keep tags and receipts on later sizes in case you need to swap.

How often do you do laundry?

No washer at home, or a trip to the laundromat? Pick about once a week.

How we count
  • Each number is the typical (middle) count across the checklists. Most give one total for the newborn stage, so Newborn and 0–3 months share one number.
  • The counts assume laundry every 2–3 days. About once a week roughly doubles it (Babylist, Nurture&). A winter baby gets 2 extra pairs of socks (Babylist).
  • Each size is worn for about 3 months starting from the due month. Snowsuits, mittens and outerwear count only for sizes worn in fall or winter; sun hats and swimwear only in spring or summer.

What's inside

Before you buy

five things to check
  • The smallest size.9 of the 55 brands with a size list here start at newborn or smaller.

  • How it closes.Zippers, snaps, buttons and magnets all appear among the examples here.
  • The water wording.Water-resistant, water-repellent and a rating in mm are different claims.
  • The regular price.Sale prices come and go. The table here lists regular prices.
