I cannot seem to find raincoats anywhere for my boys!! We are having horrible weather this week and it's not showing any signs of letting up (that's Florida for you during hurricane season). I'm thinking of heading to Burlington Coat Factory tonight, but I really hate that store, so if I could find raincoats someplace else, I'd rather do that.
Thanks! BTW - I need larger toddler sizes - like 4T and 5T.

I haven't purchased any yet. But I always see them in Target with the gardening stuff. They have really cute ones too with boots andyumbrellas that match.

I do not normally spend a lot on raincoats, since they wear them so little, but if all else fails try Lands End. I know they have them.

I'd say Burlington is a good choice, but I can't stand to shop there either!

Amazon has some too.

I'm with you on this rain. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I don't know about raincoats but I got some ponchos from the camping department in Target or Wal Mart.

When my kids were smaller, I got them at Talbot's Kids, Lands End or LLBean. They always have a cute selection. Also, try Garnet Hill.

I was also gonna say Lands End. We got some for my kids when they were little, and I always made sure I got a neutral (could be boy/girl) color because they wear so well you can pass them down. Good quality stuff.

That's what I was going to suggest - it's too darn hot and humid to wear a raincoat. I saw some ponchos at Dollar General the other day - don't know what type of dollar store you have, but that's worth a shot - and cheap too. Mine use little umbrellas and LOVE them - so cute, they love to go in the backyard and walk around with their umbrellas when it's raining.

I just got a great one at Marshalls for my 6 year old for $10. It still had the tags on it that said it was originally $40. I got a really cute one for me (stylish and feminine - so much better than the Patagonia one I had been wearing for the last 10 years) there too not too long ago. I love that store. I don't go very often but whenever I need stuff like raincoats, fleece pullovers, pajamas, etc. I always find good stuff there. They also have great jeans for women and they are usually between $20 and $30. Their clearance prices are so cheap!

I need one for my son and Land's End is the only place I've seen them. I need one that's just the rain slicker, not lined as they are way too hot most of the year. My Target has no gardening stuff anymore, it was clearenced out by middle of the summer, but I never saw the jackets. Maybe I need to check again. Great another excuse to got to Target:D

I got one for my son a couple weeks ago (even thougth we havent got 1 drop of rain) at a local thrift store. So you may want to try looking at a thrift store.
Other than that you can probably search online if you can find anything in the stores, usually here in Calif. you dont see raincoats in the stores until beginning of winter or late fall.
