I had such a hard time finding a cute lightweight coat for our little girl that she could wear in the Spring and Fall. Most other jackets were either too heavy, too uncomfortable, or just not attractive. This coat is very lightweight and soft. Granted, it is not a winter coat, so don't expect this to keep your little one warm during the cold winter months. This jacket doesn't restrict her movement at all, and sometimes she'll wear it all day, even while she's playing inside, and not want to take it off. It is very cute, and looks great with so many outfits. I especially loved the orange color in the Fall, we received so many compliments from strangers about how cute this jacket was. For reference, our daughter wore the 12-18 month size from the time she was 18 months-26 months. She is about 50th percentile for height and weight. I'm definitely planning on buying the next size up for next year.
