3) Complete 360 Coverage I’m really short. 5’3" to be exact and I absolutely love the protection a long length raincoat gives. Complete 360-degree coverage. After my daughter was born, I realized fairly quickly that I was going to be hanging out under those rain clouds a lot longer due to the car seat’s seemingly endless buckles and straps. So having a hood is ideal! Especially as a first-time mom, I was able to stay calm and focused, instead of awkwardly transitioning my tiny human in and out of that car seat. 4) Feet love I don't know why us Pacific Northwesters go our entire life never thinking we need to own rain gear, let alone wear it. However, since having a child I see the need. If you had to get just one item, my suggestion would be rain boots. Since giving my feet some love, I've never looked back. Keep them in the trunk if you have too! Rain comes and goes, as we know. So if you always have a pair, you won’t ever need to worry about slipping, falling, or getting anything wet from your knees down. I’ve changed shoes in the middle of the parking lot about 328 times to date. : ) |
5) Think width
When it comes to parking at the grocery store, Starbucks, or dentist, sometimes the far left or right aisles are better than parking by the entrance! I almost always get right up front.
6) Transitioning
Wait to zip up your coat. Snuggle that bundle of joy in your baby wrap and then add another layer of warmth from your coat around them as you walk into the store. Depending on my baby’s size and age, I could get my coat to cover my daughter's head as we walked into the store. All while being mindful of her nose and mouth. : )
Wrap a milk snob cover over your baby's car seat and you're good to go! It's my all-time favorite baby product because it's completely versatile with what it can do in the first few years of your child's life. We've already used it as a breastfeeding cover, shopping cart cover and car seat cover (pictured above and below). I can’t tell you how many conversations and compliments have come about with this product alone. You can get the milk snob cover over at Amazon and Prime members, as always, get free shipping. Just one more reason I love being a Prime member. : )

Pinch the center of the opening slit as you transition from the car for extra coverage. |
8) Don’t let it rain on your parade!
Truly, don’t let the rain predict all your fun! After you’ve checked your local weather report making sure your city isn’t in a current flood, high-wind, or storm warning, it’s possible to keep you both safe, dry, and warm. Then maybe if you're truly having a little fun, you might feel a smile form across your face. Just a little one.
