Winter Baby Care Calculators

Free, practical tools for keeping a baby warm and safe in the cold — cold-weather layering, winter car-seat safety, nursery temperature and TOG bedding, snowsuit sizing, sleep-sack TOG bands, and outdoor time in the cold. Informational tools, not medical advice.

Baby Layering Guide

Enter the outdoor temperature, what you are wearing and what baby is doing for an outdoor layer list, never more than one layer above yours (the AAP's rule of thumb)

Winter Car-Seat Safety Checker

Coats and snowsuits stay off the harness: check what goes under the straps, run the pinch test and the five-point winter checklist, in the AAP's and NHTSA's words

Baby Room Temperature & TOG Guide

Check the nursery temperature you measured against the 16-20 °C range, with the AAP's safe sleep basics

Snowsuit Size Calculator

Find the typical snowsuit or bunting size band from your child's measured height, with age as a cross-check; the brand's own chart decides

Sleep-Sack TOG Calculator

Turn the measured nursery temperature into the TOG band most sack labels give, with one light layer underneath and no figure below 16 °C

Baby Outdoor Time Limit Calculator

Combine temperature, wind and baby's age into a felt wind-chill temperature, a cold-risk band and a rule-of-thumb upper limit, with frostbite and hypothermia warning signs
