What should my baby wear today?
BabyWearsIt is the baby weather app that shows you, layer by layer, what your child should wear: for the weather, their age and whether they're in a stroller, a carrier, a car seat or walking.
Free on the App Store- Free, no account
- No ads, no tracking
- Based on NHS and AAP guidance
- Newborn to age 3
Try it: what should your child wear?
The same advice as in the app, here for a temperature you pick.
- Jacket when it feels below 59°F
- Hat when it feels below 64°F
- Sweater when it feels below 64°F
- Romper One-piece overall as a middle layer
- Bodysuit Base layer (short or long sleeve)
- Socks warm socks, ideally wool
- Diaper Basic protection
In the app you get live weather where you are: feels-like temperature with wind and wet, rain and UV index for the next hours, and a note when to add or remove a layer on the way.
Open it, look, head out
No charts, no forums, no guessing in front of the closet, not even at 6 a.m.
1. Set it up once
Your child's age and where you usually go. The app remembers both.
2. Open the app
The answer is right there, with a picture wearing exactly these clothes, for the next few hours rather than just this moment.
3. See why
Every item tells you why it's there: “when it feels below 59°F”, “rain until 11 AM”, “off in the seat, lay it over the harness”.
What the app takes into account
- Feels-like temperatureWind and wet count, not just the thermometer.
- RainRain jacket, rain pants and rubber boots for toddlers; rain cover tips for babies in the stroller or carrier.
- Sun and heatSun hat, sunscreen by UV index, and never covering the stroller.
- Safe in the carNothing bulky under the harness; coat or blanket on top.
- °F or °CFollows your iPhone's setting.
- Your data stays with youNo account, no ads, no tracking. Without location access, just enter the temperature.

What's the best app to dress my baby for the weather?
BabyWearsIt gets the weather where you are and shows layer by layer what your child should wear, matched to their age and to whether they're in a stroller, carrier, car seat or walking. The recommendation for now is free.
What should my baby wear in a stroller when it's 50 degrees?
For a baby of about 6 months when it feels like 50°F, the app recommends:
- Jacket when it feels below 59°F
- Hat when it feels below 64°F
- Sweater when it feels below 64°F
- Romper One-piece overall as a middle layer
- Bodysuit Base layer (short or long sleeve)
- Socks warm socks, ideally wool
- Diaper Basic protection
More temperatures and ages are in the temperature chart.
Can my baby wear a winter coat in a car seat?
No. Thick coats and snowsuits under the harness keep it from fitting snugly. Dress your baby in thin layers and put a coat or blanket over the buckled harness. More in the stroller, carrier and car seat guide.
How do I know if my baby is too hot or too cold?
Feel the back of their neck or upper back. Warm and dry is right. Sweaty means one layer less. Cool hands or feet alone aren't a reliable sign.
Is BabyWearsIt free?
Yes, the app is free and the recommendation for now is free. Premium adds planning for the morning, afternoon, tomorrow and the whole day hour by hour, and profiles for several children. You can try Premium free for 7 days.
Is there an Android version?
BabyWearsIt is currently available for iPhone and iPad. The calculator above works in any browser.
Does the app replace my own judgment?
No. It gives solid guidance based on TOG ratings and NHS and AAP recommendations. When in doubt, check the back of your child's neck. In extreme heat or cold, stay indoors.
One less question in the morning.
