How I tested
To find the best snowsuits for babies and toddlers, I put each design through its paces in real-world wintry conditions. In testing, I looked for warmth and insulation, weather resistance and ease of use. You can read more about my in-depth testing process at the end of this guide.
Toastie cloud quilted shell onesie
Best: Baby snowsuit overall
Size range: 0-6 months to 3-4 years
Made from: 100% polyester; filled with Sorona sustainable faux-down fill, derived from natural corn
Available colours/patterns: 14
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- 2.5 tog rating: almost like wearing a duvet
- Shower resistant
- Booties can be rolled up for wearing with boots
Toastie’s quilted 2.5-tog snowsuit struck me as both exceptionally cosy and impressively thoughtful in its design. The double zip, shower-resistant finish and sweet animal-ear hood give it a premium, practical feel. With a wide range of patterns to choose from, there’s a design to match every baby or toddler, and I liked how the hands and feet had additional fleece lining for added warmth for babies. It’s also a stand-out from a sustainability point of view: the zips are made from recycled plastic, the vegan-friendly suit is filled with Sorona faux down derived from corn, and the brand itself holds B Corp status. The suit came out perfectly when cleaned in the washing machine and dried quickly on the line. (Though it can be tumble dried.) In short, it’s a brilliant choice if you want warmth and longevity – and without compromising on eco credentials.

George navy tulip floral fleece lined hooded snowsuit
Best: Budget snowsuit for babies
Size range: First size, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, 9-12 months, 12-18 months and 18-24 months
Made from: 100% polyester
Colours: Tulip/navy. Other very similar designs are available
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Shower resistant
- Cosy fleece lining
- Longer than usual zip
Take note
- Not suitable for tumble drying
This cute snowsuit is a great example of George’s budget-friendly range, and during testing it impressed me more than I expected. I tried it on my three-month-old at a drizzly, freezing Christmas market in Sheffield, and it kept her reliably warm and dry throughout.
The padding feels soft yet durable, and the smooth, longer-than-usual zip makes nappy changes far less of a faff. With built-in mittens and booties, it’s a great value choice for babies who aren’t yet on their feet. It can’t be tumble dried but when cleaned in the washing machine, I found it came out almost dry.

Mori recycled padded snowsuit
Best: Eco snowsuit for babies
Size range: 0-3 months to 2-3 years
Made from: Recycled nylon, recycled polyester, elastane and polyester
Available colours/patterns: Sage and Ecru & Sesame
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Made from recycled materials and is also recyclable
- Double-zip design that runs all the way down the legs
- Water repellent and windproof
Take note
- Pale colour range but seems to wash well
Mori’s snowsuit immediately impressed me with its super-soft, padded feel and eco-conscious design – it’s made from recycled nylon and can be recycled again after use. The label even has space for up to three names, encouraging it to be passed on over and over. Babies and small children will stay cosy thanks to its quilted fabric, faux fur, and fleece lining, while fold-over mittens and booties will keep tiny hands and feet warm.
I especially liked the full-length zips down to the feet, which can make dressing and nappy changes hassle-free. We tested the suit in light green and I was nervous about how well it would wash; it came out sparkling, though did take a little while to dry on the line.

Elodie pramsuit
Best: Hybrid snowsuit for babies
Size range: 0-6 months and 6-12 months
Made from: Polyester and recycled polyester
Available colours/patterns: 10
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Smart blend of a snow suit and a pram foot muff
- Water repellent finish
- Wide range of beautiful patterns to choose from
Take note
- Zips might require practice
This clever hybrid impressed me with its ability to switch from a snug footmuff to a fully wearable snowsuit using just a couple of zips. It does take a little practice – the zipping is certainly an art form, and I found it slightly fiddly with gloves on – but once you’ve got the hang of it, the versatility is brilliant.
The padding feels luxurious, the fur-trimmed turnover mittens add warmth, and the large six-month size windows means you can layer up or down as the weather changes. It washed well and I found undoing the zips at the base helped it dry quickly on the washing line.

Polarn O Pyret waterproof lined puddle suit
Best: Snowsuit for all-year wear
Size range: 6-9 months to 18-24 months
Made from: Recycled polyamide and recycled polyester
Available colours/patterns: Old pink/green
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Windproof and waterproof
- Detachable fleece lining and hood for use in warmer weather
- Comfortable design: elasticated waist, wrists, ankles and stirrups
Take note
- Limited colour range
Swedish brand Polarn O. Pyret is renowned for its weather-tackling clothing and this snowsuit impressed me with its versatility. Both waterproof and windproof, it has a removable fleece lining that lets it transition effortlessly from a warm winter snowsuit to a lighter layer for spring showers. I found that a large quantity of half-dried milky dribble washed away perfectly; FYI, the brand advises tumble drying as a means to ‘reactivate’ the suit’s water-repellent finish. Designed to be passed on once your child has grown out of it, the tag on the product even includes space for up to four children’s names.

Holland Cooper baby snowsuit houndstooth
Best: Unisex baby snowsuit
Size range: 0-3 months to 12-18 months
Made from: Polyester, nylon, faux fur and Sorona® Eco fill
Available colours/patterns: Houndstooth (black/white)
Care: Machine washable but no tumble drying
Why we love it
- Statement unisex design
- Detachable hood, mittens and booties for versatile wear
- Filled with renewable Sorona® Eco padding
Take note
- Not as waterproof as other options on our list – but perfect for use in the pram and/or dry days
It’s rare that snowsuits can be described as ‘sumptuous’ but in the case of this houndstooth design from Brit heritage brand Holland Cooper, it feels appropriate. From its smooth double-zipped front (with coated zips for extra weather protection) to its marshmallow-soft padding and fur lined interior, this snowsuit is perfect for keeping babies snug in the pram all winter long.
I also like that its booties are detachable, meaning budding walkers can swap them out for wellies (the mittens can also be removed). It washed perfectly although I almost forgot to remove the faux fur trim; it came out almost dry and was finished off quickly on the washing line. (The brand advises drying it ‘in the shade’.) Love the look? A matching adult coat is also available if you want to twin with your baby.

M&S quilted snowsuit
Best: Snowsuit for small babies
Size range: 0-3 months to 2-3 years
Made from: Polyester
Available colours/patterns: Blue, cream and pink
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Spacious: room for layering up underneath
- Waterproof: designed with the brand’s water-repellent Stormwear™ technology
- Bigger sizes come without booties, making room for wellies
Take note
- Single zip design, so slightly fussier than other products to put on
With its super-soft fleece lining and quilted exterior, Marks & Spencer’s snowsuit instantly struck me as one of the cosiest options we tested. The popper-on mittens are a clever touch, meaning they’re hard to lose and easy for adults to remove. Starting at a 0-3 months size, it’s ideal for newborns in the pram or sling, yet the range is also appropriate for young toddlers too. Smaller sizes come with built-in feet for extra warmth, while the larger ones are footless so little ones can comfortably wear boots or trainers. It washed well and dried quickly on the line.

Wheat snowsuit adi
Best: Snowsuit for toddlers
Size range: 9 months to 3 years
Made from: 100% recycled polyester
Available colours/patterns: Five
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Soft fleece lining
- Reflective detailing for safety in the dark
- Detachable hood for dry days
Take note
- Pricey
Available in five stylish prints, Wheat’s snowsuit is both waterproof and windproof, with a soft fleece lining that will keep children warm on cold, blustery days. The adjustable stirrups are a great feature, and are perfect for keeping the suit’s legs securely in place when worn with boots, preventing that annoying ride-up and any associated toddler meltdowns. I also liked the reflective strips on the front, which struck me as a thoughtful safety detail for low-light winter afternoons. The suit came out well after a spin in the washing machine; the brand advises that it should be cleaned with a damp cloth if possible to retain its waterproof qualities.

Rachel Riley faux fur trim snowsuit
Best: Snowsuit for older babies
Size range: 6 months to 24 months
Made from: Polyester, with a faux fur hood trim
Available colours/patterns: Floral, pink and blue
Care: Machine washable
Why we love it
- Super soft, cosy design
- Double-zip design for easy putting on
- Built-in mittens that can’t be removed (can be turned back)
Take note
- Not waterproof but a great choice for cold, dry days
Rachel Riley’s snowsuit is a cosy and stylish option for any baby or young toddler, with the double-zip design making it a great choice for even the wriggliest child. The booties also can’t be removed, although this means it’s less practical for toddlers who are starting to walk, as does the fact it’s not waterproof.
Still, for everyday winter outings, its softness and insulation are outstanding. It also washed brilliantly – after my baby was sick on it, it came out of the machine looking new and tumble-dried perfectly.
