I also purchased the baby parka brand poncho for my 4 year old thinking she'd be too big for this one, and that's how I got my opinion. I purchased this in size 3 for my (would be) almost 2 year old. And for longer car rides where he'd eventually remove his poncho, I'd say he might still feel too warm in whatever clothing he has on underneath his straps. But I'd have to dress him warmer than I would if he were using a snow suit. I guess it would do for the short walk from the house to the car (hoping we dont have to park the car too far during snow clearing days) as long as I dress my LO in warm enough clothing underneath. But I get the feeling that this isn't nearly thick enough for the -25+C° weather. Just received this, and even though it's almost summer and 26C° outside, I am sitting in our cool basement with this poncho over my shoulders to try to get a feel of how warm it'll be and I'm nice and cozy.
