Looking for Poncho for 3 year old...

[branannacait]

Can someone point me in the right direction I found adult ones that I'm sure will be fine for DH, me and our 9 & 10 year old but my 3 year old is really small and I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to spend alot of money but I want her to have something to wear if it does rain we are going in about 2 1/2 weeks HELP

Thank you

I found some kid sized ponchos at the Target dollar spot once, but haven't seen them since.

Consider a lightweight, unlined toddler/kids raincoat. There are some that fold up in their own pouch.

2 years ago I found my kids (8 and 4 at the time) some inexpensive, unlined, rainjackets with zippers in the camping gear section of Wal-Mart. They used them the following year as well and are still good enough to be used again. I find that ones with zippers work much better than ponchos for the little ones. Much easier to get on and off. DH, DS#1 and I all wore ponchos, but I was glad to have the zipper jackets for them.

In my opinion, I would just get them rain jackets. The ponchos get ripped so easily. My DD had a poncho and it ripped the very first time she wore it. My DS had a little rain jacket I found at the disney store on sale for $5 and he wore it and was fine with it. Its still good to go....although he did rip the zipper on it by trying to unzip it himself....We went during tropical storm faye and the jacket was a lot better than the poncho....we'll be getting jackets for this september as well!!!
