Winter Play Suits for Children From Miss Mary Robinson
Miss Mary Robinson of the Missouri College of Agriculture offers criteria for good winter playsuits. Warmth is primary, but heavy fabrics are not always needed. Lightweight yet warm fabrics can be ideal, and suits should be flexible to not restrict movement while avoiding irritation at necks wrists and ankles. Wool is cited as the warmest from a warmth standpoint.

Playsuits Weatherproofing for Cold Playtime
For children age two to six, two layer playsuits offer practical warmth and protection. An outer tightly woven fabric repels wind and rain while an inner wool layer provides warmth. Loose unbelted one piece suits with adjustable caps and ski hoods suit cold windy winters.
