DD is 16 months and needs a fall jacket. I want something that is fleece or sherpa. It needs to be pretty warm b/c our falls are cool, and it would be a bonus if I could use it for the winter. It I used it in the winter, it would mainly be for the car.

I actually already ordered the boden teddy button through jacket:

which I think would be good b/c it is lined the whole way through and has a hood. The only thing holding me back is the price. I did get it for $32, but it's still a bit more than I want to spend. I got it in raspberry but if I got it in brown, it could be gender neutral for any future DC we might have.

Another option is this Carter's one. Only the hood is lined:

Or this Columbia fleece looks nice. The only downfall is that it has no hood.

I would love a Hanna Best Ever Baby Jacket but it's too pricy this time of year.

Does anyone have any experience with any of these jackets?

No experience with those jackets, but we got a basic one from Okie Dokie (JC Penney's kids line), similar to this one (http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1c56bed&DeptID=77892&CatID=77921&SO=0&SelDim=4%7e&x5view=1&NOffset=0&Ne=4+5+3+8+1031+23+18+904+949&N=4294939980+4294961599&Nao=0&PSO=0&bcCat=3&CmCatId=77892|77921) and it came with fleece lined pants and I think it was maybe $25-30, and it isn't as thick as this one looks to be. It worked out fine for the car.

I would start looking on Ebay for the Best Ever Baby jacket. This year DD2 has the jacket we bought for DD1, and a fleece pull over from Hanna Andersson. You could also get 2 years out of a Hanna Andersson Fleece Lined Parka in an 80.

Sprog's two coats were Old Navies last winter. One was new and another consignment. Both were great and look almost as nice now, after a winter of hard wear, as they did before.

You might check out what they have this year...

We love the best ever baby fleece jackets here! That's pretty much all DS wears all fall/winter and our winters are cold! What size jacket would you be looking for? I have a NWT size 80 listed in the BBB swap. I prefer the HA baby jacket over the Boden Teddy jacket since the HA one is much warmer and cozier. The hood stays on so much better.
