This entry has been started months ago, and it’s been updated on a snail speed….and I am finally finished this to help parents who intend/hesitate to bring toddlers to winter trip.
I can assure you that, it’s all worth it! My kid was 1.5 year old during the trip, dated: 24-feb-2018 – 5-March-2018.
Traveling to a cold country might worry the tropical parents, especially when the kid is unable to express himself or speak yet. So, let’s break it down to a few important points:
Tip #1: Winter clothing – for temp around 0-10c.
As I have never been to real winter myself, I was lucky to be able to borrow the entire kid’s wardrobe from her as reference. Here’s what I brought for the kid:
Posing in with Sapporo Tower
- A beanie
- A uniqlo down jacket
- 2 sets of innerwear heat tech (I wash it daily and air dry overnight)
- 3 pairs of heat tech socks + 3 pair of normal socks
- 2 pairs of fitting gloves (in case any of it goes missing, over-sized gloves can’t keep the little hands warm)
- 2 pairs of winter pants+ a pair of waterproof pants
- 4 fleece top
- Sunnies (snow can be very glaring!)
- Snow boots, and a pair of normal shoes
- Thick moisturizer and sunblock
- Optional: A fleece blanket
- Diapers….during winter its a hassle to remove to go toilet every 30 mins
- Good quality thermos flask/formula milk (scissors and the powder scoop!)
Basically, I dressed him up in full gear everyday as we were mostly outdoors for sight-seeing and had to be resilient to wind and blizzard.
Tip #2: Stroller & Getting Around Places
