How often will my toddler wear snow boots this winter?

DS is almost 17 months.

I still need to buy him boots but before I buy them I am wondering how often I should expect him to wear them. I am thinking he will really only use them to go out and play in the snow every now and then. Do you think I need to send him to daycare with his boots or they will be more of a weekend thing. I am thinking he will still be wearing his sneakers throughout most of the winter but correct me if I am wrong.

Trying to figure out how much to spend, Thanks!

DS was 15 months old when it was November and he wore his snow boots less than a handful of times. It was nice to have them, but I would look to spend about $30 or less on snow boots. Last year DD was 13 months old in November and not walking. She sat in the snow once. I put her in DSs old boots as he wore them maybe 5-10 times.

Last winter my DS was around that age and we wore them a ton. I got Crocs brand and they weren't as bulky as regular snow boots but worked great. With all the snow last winter he wore them quite a bit.

Probably about as many times as you will take him out to play in the snow. I'm buying DS boots. He's the same age. But I won't be spending a lot. Because I don't think he will last too long outside.

DD was that age last year and she wore them a ton. I got Lands End boots and they were worth the money for me. She wanted to walk everywhere and the snow was on the ground for like 2 months straight.

I don't see the need for snow boots and DS will be 4 this winter.

They are only 3" tall - chances are if there is snow on the ground, he'd still want to be picked up.

To play in the snow, I put an extra pair of socks on and his regular sneakers. By time he gets cold, its time to come in. They'll dry overnight and we'll be ready to go in the AM.

As much as it snows...which isn't that often. Thrift stores - $5 or so, and they are hardly ever used since we don't get a lot of snow here.

DD wore her sneakers the majority of time, but we did have a lot of snow. She loves to walk and climb in it when we do have it so I'm getting a better pair then last year for her. We also go upstate in the winter and she likes ro go outside with her cousins. She's 2 1/2 now. I'd try once upon a child if you don't want to spend as much. I just ordered a pair from one step ahead in black so we can use on our next LO too.

It depens on the daycare. My son's brought the children outside almost every day unless it was snowing, icy, or bitterly cold. They couldn't use the playground for awhile, but there is a nice park with trails next to the school, and the children went for walks.

We also used them a lot just for walking in parking lots, etc. Last winter I think he wore his almost every day from Christmas on.

We got a lot of snow last year, and DS (then 1) loved going out in it. I would say between 15-20 days.

Here's him last year:
