The Kiddikicks Outdoor Season has begun and we finally have some rain. To help you be best prepared for your all-weather outdoor classes we have spoken to two kids’ outerwear brands Nipper Skipper and Muddy Puddles about their best products for parents of little ones.
Fran, mother of 4 and creator of online store Nipper Skipper believes ‘youngsters perform better if they feel safe and protected from the elements whilst also looking good’. Besides the great name that’s why we love Nipper Skipper and their gear.
Items which make it into her online range must be stylish, functional and durable which are rare qualities in performance wear, one often being at the expense of the other.
Her range starts from 12-18 months up to age 10 years. You can get her insider picks to keep Kiddikicks Nippers, Runners and Racers dry and collect a generous discount code from Fran by clicking here
We asked the Muddy Puddles team if we could test drive their Original All In One Waterproof suit for ourselves.
During the Easter holidays our in-house Nipper (age 2) had a brilliant time and we can report back on her behalf.
It's super easy to put on, even over clothes and shoes because it has elasticated hems and a roomy fit, it doesn’t matter what’s already underneath it. It has one central zip, so it’s an easy-peasy step in – zip up – step out and go system!
The suit was worn in the garden, on the trampoline, in the car, at the beach and our Nipper even had a nap in it. Weather conditions ranged from windy to rainy to sunny and the suit stayed on and our Nipper stayed dry.
At £28.00, we think this is excellent value for money as it can worn be all year round with the appropriate layers added or taken away underneath. It comes in classic colours red, navy, royal blue, forest green and black. The sizez range from 12 months to 6 years. The simple but effective Orginals range includes separates; trousers, bibbed trousers and jackets. As Dolly said, if you want the rainbow you’ve got to put up with the rain and we think this would be a great suit to be wearing!
