Before parenthood, you may have wondered what the point of waterproof trousers is. Surely if it\u2019s raining, you don\u2019t go out? But now my friend, you\u2019re reading this \u2013 which means you\u2019re clearly on the other side of the bridge. You know that, rain or no rain, you have<\/em> to go out, because children\u2019s brains and bodies need energetic physical play, whether they\u2019re begging to get out and race you up a hill, or just wrestling their little brother under the coffee table on which you just put down your hot drink.<\/p>\n

Waterproof trousers for kids range from cheap supermarket pull-overs to expensive all-terrain overalls designed to sustain them in a blizzard. Whichever you go for, they\u2019ll be getting an extra layer of protection against wind, mud, snow, wet sand and puddles as well as the actual rain that splashes onto them. This can make the difference between a walk where you can relax about whether your children spontaneously roly poly down a dewy hill or sit in a squelchy puddle, and one where you\u2019re constantly shouting at them to \u2018be careful!\u2019.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re making the right choice. Read on for our expert guide to the best kids\u2019 waterproof trousers.<\/p>\n

Best kids waterproof trousers in 2022<\/h2>\n

These cosy waterproof trousers provide protection from both the wet and cold, making them ideal for adventures in the snow and ice. With polar-fleece lining and 160gm of insulation, they have the added bonus of being wonderfully warm, while the hardy waterproof fabric, made from recycled plastic bottles, is ultra-waterproof and able to withstand heavy rain. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite this sturdy waterproofing, the trousers are impressively pliant, allowing little ones to leap, jump and run to their heart\u2019s content, and can be machine washed when at peak muddiness. My three-year-old found some satisfyingly splashy puddles in our local park \u2013 and even after his exhilarating session of jumping in to stir up mud and leaves, the trousers required only a good wipe down to look respectable again. An elasticated waist and feet stirrups allow for easy wearing and security, while reflective strips go right around the leg and add distinction on dim days. Sizing comes up large, which is great for long-term wearability (plenty of room to grow into), so order on the small size if unsure.<\/span><\/p>\n
