Although your new baby might be too new to enjoy playing in the snow, she will need you to keep her safe and warm in the winter.

Choose layers of clothing and fleece to keep your baby warm in her car seat, instead of a puffy snowsuit. cover your baby with a fleece blanket after you make sure her harness is tight. A puffy snowsuit might cause her car seat harness to slip off in a car crash.
