Love rain #04

Shopping for a toddler rain boot is one of the fun elements of parenting. Kids get excited when they pick out their boots because they know it means they get to splash in puddles and run through the rain without getting cold and wet. Parents love shopping for boots as well because they get to see their little one's faces light up with joy.

Fun is an essential element when it comes to rain boots for growing toddlers, but parents also shoulder responsibility to ensure the boots are functional and stylish.

The problem with cheaply made rain boots is that they often allow small leaks of water to get into the boot, and we're not talking about from the top of the boot which tends to be wider than the leg. We're talking about rain that comes from the bottoms of the boot because it is not properly designed and sealed between the sole and the upper part of the boot.

That is why it is important for parents to purchase toddler boots from well known brands that dedicate their designs to comfort, style, as well as functional purposes. These boots will be designed to keep all of the water out, rather than just most of it.

Keeping most of the water out is not good enough when you purchase a toddler rain boot! Their small feet must be completely protected from the cold and the water or they will become irritable, cranky, and could even get sick.

Parents should make sure their boots are made of thick material, designed to keep all moisture out, and that they are from a reputable designer or brand.

Toddler style is very different from adult style. What is in for mommy is not always in for the children in the family, but when you look around the market for toddler boots you will clearly see what kids are after today.

Rain boots for toddlers tend to come in bright colors and playful patterns and pictures. For instance, little girls often go for pink boots with cute rainbows, frogs, or ladybugs. Little boys love to run around in firefighter boots or bright boy colors such as blue and green. Frogs are a popular design for little boys as well.

You can even find boots that feature characters that toddlers love. For instance, little girls are often seen wearing Hello Kitty boots.

Above it all, rain boots for toddlers have to be super fun. When it comes down to slipping them on a child's feet and going out for an afternoon of play, the fun is all they care about. They know that their feet aren't wet or uncomfortable but they don't think about that. They just think about the puddles they want to jump in!

The toddler rain boot is an essential item to have on hand, but parents have to remember the functional side of the equation. The fun of shopping is in looking at the different colors and designs being offered by different brands and designers, but the fun of puddle splashing starts as soon as the rain lets loose from the sky. The rain can come at any moment on any day, not just on a cloudy spring day. Parents...are you ready for it?
