Given that they need to be treated with care, down jackets and kids are often not a happy combination. A more practical way of keeping your kids warm and happy is a good quality synthetic, and the Jensen is a good example. Loose blowing is a method of getting the soft feel and something close to the warmth for weight of down without the (ahem) down sides. Light, warm and packable into a small space, if you are travelling with kids to somewhere cold (a skiing holiday for instance), this is ideal.
