Winter walks are wonderful for kids, as long as everyone stays warm. A little planning before you leave makes the difference between a happy walk and a cold, grumpy one.
Layer up, but keep it simple
Start with a warm base layer, add a jumper, then a waterproof coat. Hats and gloves matter more than an extra thick coat, because kids lose heat quickly from their heads and hands.
Warm hands make happy walkers
Cold hands are usually the first complaint on a winter walk. Rechargeable LED Hand Warmers (2-Pack) are easy to slip into pockets, and the two-pack means one for each hand or one to share.
Plan a warm finish
End the walk somewhere warm, with a hot drink waiting at home. A Giant Wearable Hooded Blanket is perfect for warming up on the sofa afterwards, and it turns the walk into a cosy family routine.
Pack for the weather
Check the forecast, pack snacks and water, and keep the walk short on very cold days. You will find more winter comfort ideas in the Bestselling collection.
