Coats and jackets for children

Which puffer jacket to choose for a child?

The choice mainly depends on daily use: stroller rides, school pickup, playing in the garden, or outdoor sports sessions. A hooded puffer jacket offers better protection for the head and neck during walks, while a sleeveless model, which is lighter, easily fits under a sweatshirt or jacket for activities that require more mobility. Zip-up puffers can be put on and taken off quickly, which is important for little ones who often change outfits throughout the day.

Children's clothing to pair with a puffer jacket

The puffer jacket is rarely worn alone, so Foot-Store's kids' catalogue offers various types of clothing to combine depending on the season:

• Sweatshirts to wear under the puffer for chilly days.
• Jackets and bombers, a lighter alternative when the puffer is not needed.
• Joggers for a comfortable matching bottom all year round.
• Polos and t-shirts to layer under warmer layers.
• Shorts for nice days in between colder periods.

All these pages are part of Foot-Store's children's clothing category.

Nike puffer jackets for children

Nike is the brand of children's puffer jackets featured on this page, with models that have hoods or are sleeveless, designed for both everyday use and sports outings. The Therma-FIT finishes aim to retain body heat without adding unnecessary weight, a helpful point for active children throughout the day.

Puffer jacket or parka: what's the difference for a child?

The puffer jacket prioritises lightweight and compressibility, making it easy to carry in a bag when the weather changes during the day. The parka, which is longer and often more covering, offers more protection for the lower back and thighs during extended outings in cold or wet weather. Therefore, the choice between the two mainly depends on the climate and the time the child spends outdoors.

When to take advantage of the best prices on children's puffer jackets?

Prices for children's puffer jackets and coats vary with the site's promotional events. Pages like Black Friday and the end-of-year holidays often concentrate some of the best deals, followed by the winter sales in the midst of the cold season. In spring, the French Days highlight potential reductions before the end of the season. Outside of these key times, the deals page and the clearance page feature discounted items year-round, while the new arrivals page showcases the latest models to hit the catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

Should you go a size up for a children's puffer jacket?

This mainly depends on what the child is wearing underneath: a thick sweater or multiple layers require more room. Referring to the size guide of the chosen model is the most reliable option, as cuts can vary from one brand to another.

Is a sleeveless puffer jacket sufficient in winter?

Alone, it mainly protects the torso and is suitable for cool but not freezing days, or as a complement to a warmer jacket. For a harsh winter, a model with sleeves and a hood is more suitable.

How to care for a children's puffer jacket without damaging it?

Most puffer jackets can be machine washed on a low temperature, but it's important to check the label of the model since synthetic or down filling reacts differently to washing. Low-temperature drying with a few tennis balls helps distribute the filling.

Can you find a baby puffer jacket on this page?

Yes, the selection includes baby sizes in addition to children's and junior sizes, especially in the hooded models.

What is the difference between a puffer jacket and a quilted jacket?

Both look similar visually, but the puffer jacket uses thicker insulating filling designed for cold weather, whereas a lightweight quilted jacket mainly serves as an intermediate layer. For specific use, it's better to compare the description of each product rather than relying solely on the name.
