If you have toddlers you'll know how difficult it is to keep them warm when you head outside.
 
Actually getting multiple children dressed in winter clothing, and getting out the front door, in less than an hour, is a whole other post.

But assuming you get them dressed, keeping them dressed becomes your next challenge. Someone is always taking off a hat, losing a mitten or having their snowsuit hike up their legs - like their own personal snowsuit wedgie game - exposing bits of leg to the frigid air.

Sometimes keeping them clothed feels like playing 'whack-a-mole' ... you get one bit of skin covered, and out pops the next.

While I can't solve all of these problems, I can pass along one little trick I've learned. Although, I can't take credit for it. This little gem of an idea came to me via a shoe store salesperson.
 
We were shopping for winter boots a few years ago, when the sales lady suggested buying mitten clips? Mitten clips, for boots? Me thinks you're one clip short, I was saying to myself.

Agh, but not so fast. The clip isn't fastened to the boot. It's fastened to the snowsuit leg, and wrapped around the bottom of the boot. Kind of like those bungee tie down straps for cars ... but for kids and their snowsuits instead.

How does it work? The first clip is attached to the bottom, outside of one pant leg, then wrapped under the boot, and the second clip is attached to the bottom, inside of the snowsuit pant leg. That's it ... the mitt clip acts like a mini bungee that holds the snowsuit leg in place ... in the stroller, when walking, when being picked up, when tobogganing/sledding.

Incredible. Fantisimo, and just plain great. No more snowsuit leg wedgies. Snowsuit stays down, legs stay covered (and warm), and one less thing for mommies and daddies to worry about.

And just in case you can't quite figure out what I'm talking about. Here's the visual ...
