Every parent knows the winter coat whine. Not ‘wine,’ like Merlot, Cabernet, or Shiraz. We’re talking about the Scream, Shout, and Pout type of whine. The winter coat whine varietal is full bodied, packed with ear curdling flavor, and notes of ‘is this ever going to end?’ And, unlike a fine red wine, it will never be an acquired taste. 

All wine puns aside, our kids act out for two reasons: 1) they don’t want to go winter coat shopping and 2) they don’t want to wear their bulky winter coats while in their carseat. 

And can we blame them? Winter coat shopping is boring for kids. Isn’t all shopping boring for kids? That’s why we’re going to introduce you to two different coats: the London Fog puffer jacket for baby boys and the Buckle Me Baby Coat, which is made for use in car seats. 

Which brings us to our second dilema. Our kids don’t like wearing bulky winter jackets while strapped into their car seats. The Buckle Me Baby Coat throws the winter coat whine to the wind by providing a comfortable, reliable jacket that’s made for use in your child’s car seat. 

But before we clink our glasses and say Cheers, here’s the comparison. 

First up is the London Fog puffer jacket for baby boys, which is, pretty much, a regular, classic puffer-style jacket. 

The London Fog Boys Puffer jacket

It's warm, made of 100% polyester and lined in fleece. It also has a faux fur lined hood and comes with a little fleece hat that matches the inner lining of the jacket. Lastly, it's made for boys.

The London Fog puffer jacket for baby boys is cute. It’s warm. But it’s also puffy! And, we both know that bulk + carseat = disaster. At some point our children realize it’s too hot, it’s too puffy and it’s time to take this thing off! This creates driver distraction, which is annoying, but more importantly, it’s unsafe.  

Now, let’s compare that with the Buckle Me Baby Coat.

 The Buckle Me Baby Coat was created as a safer alternative to big, puffy winter jackets. 

These coats are made for kids from 6-months to 10-years, and have a chunky rib knit collar, magnetic removable hood, and thick, not bulky, sherpa lining with a fleece back that will leave your child feeling cozy and warm no matter the weather. 

The Buckle Me Baby Coat comes in a bunch of colors and our limited edition coats have a cute inner lining featuring forest animals, milk and cookies or spaceships. 

What sets the Buckle Me Baby Coat apart from other jackets? Our safety features are what make the product really special. Car seat experts don’t ever recommend the use of bulky winter coats. Why? Because puffy winter coats make your child fidget and feel uncomfortable, which can lead to driver distraction. The Buckle Me Baby Coat is crash tested and was designed as a safer alternative to traditional winter jackets. Our coat is comfortable for your child and eliminates the fidgetiness that comes with heavy coat-wearing.
