Gets decently cold here in Nashville. For both of us, dress as we normally would for cold weather. Add a buff over the mouth and nose if it's reeaaally cold. And a thin beanie under the helmet. For the wee one, a larksbikeblankets.com works wonders. For me, ski mittens over my gloves.

Our kid waffles between loving and hating his balaclava

A good hot water bottle under a blanket + regular winter boots/snowpants/coat/mittens/hat/goggles.

Paging @lauragmitchell.com

Ski helmets with built-in visors are great.

I feel like it’s easier to dress the kids than it is yourself.

Same same — I don’t even put the cover on tbh, just the “kid lid” that has the drawstring top 😆

Thanks Stephen! If you’re interested in sharing more, I can DM my email and I’d love your thoughts. My guide is linked in my pinned post and I’d be happy to hear any thoughts on my adult suggestions too.

Whenever I ran and saw cargo bike kiddos, they were usually enclosed in a clear case so they were protected from the wind + wore their normal coats.

Now that they are older, a ski helmet and gloves, goggles if it’s really cold. They are happy to ride most of the year so I try to make it as easy of a choice as possible

Magic Bags definitely work for us. Costco used to have heated stadium seats that I thought about trying but I’m cheap and I didn’t want to spend $50 on a heated seat that may or may not work.

The girls need new ones this year! I’ll have to check it out😀

We're in Calgary and ride through the winter. Same as most people are saying: when it's really cold, they wear their winter gear, we put the rain cover on to block the wind, & sometimes add a magic bag. Hand warmers, fleece blankets, & the Burton Burke Hood Helmet are some other favs.

That thread is legit! Such a great resource.

Our trips are about 10-12 minutes and our winters are mild in the DC region so I usually have them put on a thin hat under their helmet and gloves/mittens. Sometimes, I will cinch up the rain cape to provide a bit more protection against the wind/cold
