The best wellies for kids are, above all else, waterproof and durable. Strong enough to withstand even the most enthusiastic of puddle jumpers but flexible enough for walking, running, climbing, jumping, skipping, bike riding and more.

Wellie boots for kids are pretty flashy these days too. There's light-up pairs, glitter pairs, colour-changing boots and some with handles, so your child can independently pull them on (and off, word of warning!)

So before the weather gets too wet and wild, make sure your little ones have their wellington boots ready and waiting for those drizzly autumnal days. These are the best wellington boots brands for kids 2022:
