This is a nice puffy jacket, that is not too bulky.
I needed something warm for my son to play outside in school, and I'm very happy with my purchase.
I've been a real fan of Columbia jackets because the quality is great, and the price point is not too high. If you buy in neutral colors, you should be able to save for a future child (if that's part of your plans). I always buy it a size up, so it lasts a bit longer.
