I've discovered that waterproof overalls for kids really extend our outdoor time in the winter! While I love the Scandinavian Forest School ones, they were a bit pricey. Fortunately, I found some fantastic ones on Amazon that were just as good and at least half the cost!
My daughter jumping for joy in her Kids Waterproof Overalls, Boots, and Jacket all discussed below!

My Favorite Waterproof Overalls for Kids on Amazon:
My favorites of the 3 my kids tried are these Kids Waterproof Rain Pants Dirty Proof Suspender Trousers for Boys and Girls by Aliwiner.
- 4.6 Stars and 400+ reviews
- Sizes: 2T/3T all the way to 9/10 years old
- Comes in 11 colors including solid colors and prints (dinosaur!)
My daughter loved the purple girl's waterproof overalls I bought for her. She said she liked how flexible they are and that the inside is soft.

Best Feature of the Waterproof Overalls For Kids
- These overalls are fully adjustable, allowing them to grow with your child! The shoulder straps can be lengthened, and the buttons on the sides let you adjust the fit.
- One feature I appreciate is the foot straps, which keep the pants securely in place when wearing boots. However, my daughter wasn’t a fan of how the straps felt on her feet, so she just looped them around her ankles instead!
- The pants also have a reflective strip, enhancing visibility when walking in low light. Plus, they come in a variety of colors, perfect for both boys' and girls' winter styles.
Love the snaps around the waist grow into.
Drawbacks of These Particular Waterproof Overalls:
- These are not warm enough for the super cold. But with warm leggings or pants underneath, they would be great for keeping wind and water out!
- They are not padded, so snow pants would be better for sledding to absorb falls.
2 More Good Waterproof Overalls for Kids Options:
- Aliwiner also makes a full Kids Hooded Rainsuit Waterproof Coverall for ages 2 – 12. This is a full head-to-toe jumpsuit. We have not tried this as I don’t think my daughter at age 8 would want to wear it. But would be great for younger kids I’m sure!
- Another one that we tried is these ToddlerWaterproof Rain Pants by PongYou They were nice quality but I liked the overalls features on the pair above better to help keep the pants up when out in the mud.

Artctix Kids Limitless Fleece Top Bib Overalls
My son loved these so much! The fleece part is so soft that he didn’t want to put a shirt on underneath as you can see in the picture!
Great price and 4.6 stars with 3,000+ reviews as of writing.
My son loved the fleece overalls!
Bog Boots and a Cheaper Option To Go With Your Waterproof Overalls
My daughter has worn Bog Boots for the past 3 winters and absolutely loves them! They are Rain and Snow Boots in one, incredible quality and great traction. Best of all they are easy for any age kid to put on with their “handles.”
(I have the Amazon links below but I will confess that I have purchased all 3 of her pairs pre-owned on auction or local marketplace sites because they are pricy. They hold up so well that I can then resell them for usually around the same price I purchased them used for.)
Features: 100% Rubber, Leather and Rubber Sole, Aegis anti-microbial odor protection insole.
Note: These are not fluffy inside so recommend warm socks (my suggestion below!)
Reviews: 5 stars and 1200+ reviews!
Bogs Kids’ Rainboot Waterproof Rain Boot
And if you have a Glitter Fan, they have Rose Gold Glitter, Silver Glitter, and Black Glitter versions
Cheaper Option: I couldn't find Bogs boots at the thrift stores so I purchased these "dupes" to see if they would work for my daughter... and she loves them! They are called Neoprene Insulated 100% Waterproof Mid Calf Muck Boots. She's worn them every day and they seem very similar to Bogs. They are heavier than rain boots but great for rain, snow, and leaves.
Amazon Essentials Girls' Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Hooded Puffer Jacket
My daughter's favorite coat! She feels overheated very easily so she loves this lightweight but warm jacket. We will need to get her a proper snow jacket for the serious snow days but for now, she's worn this in as low as 21 degrees! This is her second year wearing the coat and it has held up great. There are 20 styles to choose from.
4.6 stars and 1,600+ ratings as of writing!
She wears this Amazon Lightweight Jacket even in the Snow!
A Splurge that Makes a Huge Difference - Socks!
I have always bought the cheapest gloves and socks for my kids because I always think that since they grow out of things quickly, it's not worth the cost. But I’m finally realizing that investing in high-quality materials makes such a difference. Especially when you are talking about being wet and cold!
Smartwool Socks
This year, I invested in Smartwool socks for my kids, and they’ve been fantastic. While one pair costs as much as an entire pack (or two!) of regular socks from big box stores, they’re made from 73% Merino wool, 23% nylon, and 1% elastane. They’re incredibly warm and comfortable without causing any sweating!
I've had my own pair of Smartwool socks for four years, and they’re still in great shape. This year, my husband got his first pair and now wears them like slippers around the house!
Tip: Be sure to size up—they tend to run small. There are plenty of styles to choose from, so explore your options:
- Cool Patterns – Smartwool Ski Racer Socks
- Stripes – Smartwool Kids Striped Hike Light Crew
- Women’s Smartwool Socks
- Men’s Smartwool Socks
And there you have it! These are my top recommendations for kids' waterproof overalls and all-weather gear that can help your family enjoy the outdoors, no matter the season. Whether you’re exploring in the rain, snow, or chilly winds, having the right gear makes all the difference in staying warm and comfortable. I hope this guide has provided you with some useful options to keep your kids ready for winter adventures, especially during socially distanced outings. Here’s to more outdoor fun, no matter the weather!
