With their legs hanging down they always seemed to get cold. We just cut the sleeves off of a DI coat that was too big and sewed up the end to make some legging things (add a strap between them so they didn't fall off (imagine making some pant legs just for the carrier) and stuck hand warmers in them.. this with the rest of their regular cold weather gear did the trick for dirt cheap.
