When I told people I was moving to the Pacific Northwest, the most common response I received was, âWhat about all that rain? Thatâs going to be terrible!â Yes, it does rainâa lot. But actually, itâs not that terrible. When I first arrived, I asked people what they did when it rained. They looked at me like I was crazy. They told me they do the same things they do if it wasnât raining. They go on hikes, they take their kids out to play, and they simply go about their business. The only difference is that they are wearing rain gear.

At first, I was not on board. It seemed easier to stay home and stay dry. But when it rains for over a week straight, cabin fever is real. Especially with a baby, I crave fresh air and time outside, wet or dry. So I acquired the necessary rain gear, which made it a breeze to get outside. And it truly is a game changer. I still may avoid hiking in the rain, but I will get outside for a walk through the park.
As we enter into spring and the rainy weather that is likely to come with it, instead of taking cover inside, get yourself and your kids out in the rain. Splash in the puddles and teach them that a little gloomy weather is no reason to avoid the outdoors.
Here is some of the best rain gear for kids and babies to keep them dry as you venture out into the rain.
