I bought this for my 14-month-old daughter.  She runs small, but I wanted to make sure this bunting fit her for as much of the winter as possible, so I ordered the 18-month size.  I think we'll be just fine, all winter long, with this.  She has plenty of room for layers, plenty of room to grow.

She's just recently developed a deep and abiding affection for all things fleecy.  If she sees a pillow that's fuzzy, she toddles up to it and snuggles her face into it.  If we're sitting on the couch and a fleecy blanket is nearby, she wraps herself up in it, with just her face poking out.  She has a fleece baby blanket that she loves to have wrapped around her at nap and bedtime.

The Columbia Unisex Foxy Bunting is like taking one of her beloved microfleece blankets and making it wearable.  It's like a much cuter Snuggie, with little ears on the hood. My daughter LOVES this!  It's perfect for using in the car- warm enough so getting in to a cold car won't be such a pain for her, but not so heavy that once the heat gets going, she won't cook.  It's good for walks here in the fall, and will be nice in the spring, on dry but chilly days.  The hood is generously-sized, so you can pull it up with no hat on the baby, or pull it over a hat on days when extra warmth is needed.  The little ears on the hood are irresistible.  The cuffs can turn up or down over hands and feet to provide extra warmth, or let the hands and feet out.  It isn't a windproof bunting, and wouldn't be good for sledriding, but it's perfect for just general out-and-about use before things get really cold and nasty right now in the snowbelt.  And even when winter does start getting wooly, this will still be a good layering piece, and will still be good in the car and stroller.

I sort of wish Columbia made these in big-people size!
