What is a seasonal wardrobe checklist for children?

A seasonal wardrobe checklist helps parents identify essential clothing items their child needs for each season, organized by age group and climate. In Quebec, where temperatures range from -20°C in winter to +30°C in summer, planning your child's wardrobe at each seasonal transition prevents impulse purchases and waste.

Children aged 0 to 3 grow through an average of 2 to 3 clothing sizes per year. Without planning, parents often end up with closets full of unworn clothes or missing essential items at the wrong time. This free checklist helps you take stock of what you have, what's missing, and what you can find second-hand.

Tips for buying children's clothing

Buy second-hand
Quality clothing at a fraction of the price. Children grow fast — no need to buy everything new.
Go one size up
Children grow fast, especially between seasons. Buy slightly larger to maximize wear time.
Check the condition
For used winter clothing, check zippers, waterproofing and the condition of the padding.

Why buy second-hand for seasonal children's clothing?

Save 50-70%
A child goes through an average of 7 clothing sizes between 0 and 5. Second-hand lets you access quality brands (Souris Mini, Petit Bateau, Columbia) at a fraction of the retail price.
Reduce your footprint
The textile industry accounts for 10% of global CO2 emissions. Each reused garment saves an average of 3.6 kg of CO2 — that's real impact when you're dressing a growing child across 4 seasons.
