Kids love to be outdoors in the cold weather, but we parents often worry about exposing them to the harsh, windy elements.

Take a cue from celebrity moms and dads, and stuff your little one into a puffer coat. The extra insulation in these Michelin-Man-style jackets offers warmth without weight.

Olive Baron Cohen (right) has excellent taste as well, modeling the Juicy Baby Puffer Parker in Ivory($148). And Kingston Rossdale, Moses Martin, Ryder Russell, and James Broderick have all been spotted in the Appaman Puffy Coat ($90).

But kids grow fast, and they’ll wear these jackets for just one season. Here are some affordable — but equally cozy — puffer coats for your little ones:
