Background:
1. We live in Seattle where it is a bit moist about 8 months of the year.
2. We also want our daughter to play outside everyday.
3. I don't want to do anymore laundry than I am already having to do.

This is perfect. Seriously.

We have been using it for months now (even when it was waaaaaaay to large for our daughter) and it has held up perfectly. She plays with it on the sidewalk, the park, and in the yard. We even took it on our recent trip to the Oregon coast, where she ran around the beach in the rain.

It doesn't impede her movements and fits over anything we've had her in - including winter jackets over sweaters. Shehas never seemed to mind getting zipped up in it.

We've NEVER had it leak or get her clothing wet. We pair it with Baby Bogs rain boots and I tell you - this thing is impervious!
