It’s absolutely disgusting outside today. I’m freezing. Frozen. It’s been snowing for HOURS. It’s currently a balmy 5* out.

If I do get to take the kids home they are going to need ALL the winter gear. I wasn’t expecting winter babies so I’m not super prepared. I need all your best winter baby gear suggestions!

I do know it isn't recommended they were snowsuits or coats in their car seats as you can't get them tight or secure enough. Warm blankets are good. And keep the snow stuff in the car just in case.

They will likely just stay in the seats when doing errands for now so you should be good. Next winter will be a different story ;)

you can kangaroo pouch them to you if you are outside walking or something-but I would think with how fragile they might be you won't have them out until it is warmer in late winter or early spring. just my thoughts, maybe I am way off base.

both my girls were born in July and were not out much their first winter at all-too cold, snowy roads, cold and flus, etc. but then maybe I was crazy :) I do remember the youngest being out more late winter/early spring in a snow suit than the older one but she was 7 months old

agree,!!!!
the cold air is WAY to much for their lungs to handle, you will need to keep their head and face out of the cold air,
keep them well covered

Yes! Like a swaddle, but in a car seat? Probably not very safely.

How long can I leave them alone to do chores? That might be a ridiculous question.

That’s a good idea
