Gloves or mittens: what will be more comfortable for a child

Gloves or mittens – almost as eternal a question as to be or not to be.

But if the latter can still be left unanswered, then there should be no gaps in the questions of children's wardrobe.

In fact, deciding what to put on your child’s hands is easy - you only need to consider three factors.

This is the temperature outside, the age of the baby and his preferences.

If it's very cold outside, you should choose mittens. Because the fingers are close to each other, they will be warmer than in gloves.

Mittens are also much more convenient and quicker to put on.

However, you already know this if you have ever tried to “shove” your little fingers into the compartments intended for them.

Well, the last advantage of mittens is that they come in absolutely any size, whereas gloves for tiny hands are much more difficult to find.

Now to the downsides: some children don’t like mittens because they are inconvenient to use when picking up objects.

And digging snow with a shovel when you have mittens on your hands is still a pleasure.

Sometimes capricious children may even burst into tears at the sight of such an accessory and categorically refuse to wear it.

Of course, in such a situation it is better to give in and buy the child gloves.
