Trespass or any regatta stockist.

We get most of jr's stuff s/h from eBay - usually regatta branded. Cheap, reliable, gets passed on to Mini Jr.

I find the Trespass shops are great for kids outdoor stuff. Theres a store near us at the Lowry which I've got my 2 daughters loads of stuff from. Very reasonable prices for decent, hardwearing gear

And as a girly, your daughter will be pleased to know that said outdoor clothing comes in all manner of pink floweryness too

TK Maxx had loads of kids stuff in and the dreaded Primark had some half descent stuff in.

Regatta Splosh suits and suchlike are pretty good in terms of durability and cost.

+1 for trespass, and check out TKMaxx for cheap winter/ski gear. you can some very good stuff very cheap in there.

Not sure where you are but junction 32 outlet village near Castleford has a few shops that have kids outdoor gear inc Trespass & Regatta.

Columbia gear is very good kids winter stuff. Ellisbrigham and snow and rock sell it, or t'interweb obviously.

Any decent outdoor shop, here on classifieds and songofthepaddle classifieds.
FWIW, we now buy lots of 'posh' stuff in sale - Patagonia particularly - as we find we can buy a fleece cheap, wear it for 3 years between the kids, and sell it for what we paid...

Little Adventure Shop are an online retailer specialising in kids outdoor wear. I've used them a couple of times and they have lots of nice stuff and are very helpful.

Just bought some Togz waterproof dungarees for jr as he is incapable of staying dry otherwise/ Great stuff and got them from Little Trekkers. They did have a 1/2 term sale on too.

Worth keeping an eye out in sports direct and also Scats country store often do cheap regatta stuff. The kids horse riding gloves are great for bike riding, they are sized to suit down to 3 year olds.

dont know about clothing for decent kids, but most of them grow out rather than wear out any clothing.

charity shops in posh places

Our kids all have stuff from Polarn o Pyret - it's Swedish and obviously made for their winters!

It's not cheap (Jacket maybe £65 or so) but ours have done 2 kids so far and are still like new so will serve the third well too I am sure (we always buy unisex colours!). The fleeces clip inside etc and they have taped seams and all the rest of it.

Spotty Otter stuff is nice. Muddy Puddles also maybe worth a look.

Spotty Otter stuff is good.

Well made, nicely designed. Will last through a few owners.

Little Trekkers is a good place to look.
