It doesn't matter whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow or not - you'll more than likely see your fair share of chilly temperatures between now and spring. It's the perfect time to revisit your child's winter wardrobe and make sure you have everything you need to ensure your children survive those teeth-chattering temperature changes. First and foremost, it's only fitting that you child have a high-quality winter coat that will ward off the bone-chilling cold. Make sure the coat isn't too tight and leaves plenty of room for layering. This is also a good time to determine if your child is starting to outgrow his current coat. If you're in the market for new outerwear, look for a coat that is made with down material. Also, opt for a coat with a hood for added protection. When shopping for the perfect coat, make sure your child wears layers of clothing to make sure it fits properly.

There's no substitution for a warm winter coat - or a good pair of boots. This definitely holds true for even those who live in areas where there is no snow. The right shoes will keep your kids' feet protected from the wet and the cold. Cold feet mean a cold body. Other must-haves include gloves and mittens to protect hands, scarves to wrap around the neck and winter hats. Thermal underwear and shirts also combat the cold and are great for layering. Having all of these winter staples on hand will help keep your children warm and safe in the cold weather.
