Call them April Showers come early. Whatever, sending children out in something lightweight but showerproof is definitely the order of the day. So why not go cheerily bright and bold?
Nonstopmama’s favourite picks include this traditional-with-a-twist mac by Mini Boden (from 
£34, for ages 2 to 13, at boden.co.uk) and the funkily striped, 100% waterproof jackets from fab Swedish label KoziKidz (£38), for boys and girls. Its website, kozikidz.co.uk, has a whole section devoted to practical but great-looking “Rainwear” – very realistic for the UK market! Who says keeping dry has to be ‘blah’?
