NYC winter with kids means: walking to school in slush, 20 minutes to get snow gear ON, 8 minutes of actual outdoor play, then hot chocolate. Here's gear that makes the 20-minute suiting-up slightly less painful.
Tip: Mittens, not gloves, for kids under 5. They cannot do individual fingers. Buy mittens with long cuffs that go OVER the jacket sleeve. You're welcome.
