There are many factors that go into determining at what age your baby will actually wear 3-6 month size baby clothes, including weight, length, speed of development, and even gender, not to mention the brand of the clothes themselves.

How do you dress a 10 month old for winter?
Add a coat or snowsuit for 6- to 12-month-olds. To take an older baby outdoors in winter, choose a coat or snowsuit filled with polyester or down. Look for one that has a hood attached so you can easily put it up over your baby’s head. [6] The hood should completely cover your baby’s ears as well.
Babies dressed in too many layers (of blankets or clothing) are at greater risk for overheating and SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). If you’ve been out, remove your baby’s winter clothes as soon as you come inside (yes, even if he is asleep!). Keep the room temperature cool.
When the temperature is mild, it’s still best to use the layer rule. Dress baby in as many layers as you require and then add one more. Also, make sure that your little one is always dry, because wet or damp clothing can cause hypothermia even when the weather is just cool (over 40 degrees F).
