Kids love playing in the rain and splashing in puddles while wearing the best kids’ raincoats. They love the rain and their rain gear just as much. Raincoats designed for children come in cheerful colors with cute designs that appeal to budding fashion plates, but it is important to pay attention to qualities such as waterproofing, breathable material, and the total weight of the raincoat and insulation. It is equally important to give some thought to details such as how easy it is to put on and take off the cute kids’ raincoat, the addition of a hanging loop and presence of pockets for little treasures they may find while tromping in the rain.
