Kids’ raincoats that keep children dry
Children will always find the puddles, so a good kids’ raincoat is essential. Girls’ raincoats and boys’ rain jackets are made from PVC, PU or coated nylon, with sealed seams and a deep hood to stop water getting in. Bright yellow, red and blue designs are easy to spot.

Girls’ rain jackets and kiddies’ raincoats
A girls’ rain jacket often comes in pastel tones, prints and fun details such as animal hoods. Younger children enjoy toggles and popper fastenings that are easy to use. Choose a lightweight lining for spring showers or fleece for chillier days. Mums who want a similar look can compare women’s raincoats to find a matching grown-up version. Fun prints and animal hoods are popular with younger children.
Boys’ raincoats for school and play
A boys’ rain jacket should be easy to put on and withstand rough use. Look for a wide front opening, a storm flap and elasticated or Velcro cuffs. Colours from navy to bright orange help with safety on wet mornings, and reflective trim is useful in winter. Dads can find roomy versions in men’s raincoats for family walks. Waterproof trousers can be added for the wettest days.
Looking after kids’ raincoats
Wipe coated raincoats with a damp cloth and let them dry naturally. For fabric versions, wash on a low temperature without softener, which can clog waterproof coatings. Hang them up fully open so the lining dries. Check the size with a jumper underneath and leave a little room for growth, so a children’s raincoat can survive a full wet season. A well-looked-after coat can even be passed on to a younger sibling.
