Stylish gear for the cold winter weather rolling in. So how do you get kids to keep their coats, hats and other accessories on? (I'm thinking of a child in particular that dislikes hats...)

I go by the "let them figure out they're going to be cold if they don't wear it" philosophy. I guess it depends on where you live though.

However, I would like to know how warm these coats are. The city I'm currently living in routinely experiences temps of -20 during wintertime. I'm SO thankful I was living in a warmer place when my kid was going through the phase you're describing.

These are very inexpensive. These would be great to purchase for a local kids coat drive. If you have a program like that in your community, this is a great way to give back.

Agree completely! I bought 2 to give to a local elementary school coat drive!
