Disclaimer: I'm in Texas -- but when my son was 3-5 months old we spent about 6 weeks in Chicago.
I found that the bucket-style car seat carriers will keep the little ones quite warm. So I would bundle him up in some layers, including something fleece, in the bucket (within the safety requirements for a car seat, so nothing too puffy).
There are also "shower cap" style warm cover things that will go over a bucket and not affect the straps.
Then I had a fleece thing that went over the top of the bucket to block the wind and any snow and also help protect any parts still exposed.
That seemed to do the trick!
I actually have one of those Old Navy fleece things you linked to. I didn't find it very convenient, because with just that one zipper, it was really a pain in the ass to get my chunky baby into and out of it. There are better ones that have a zipper that runs down the the front on two sides. I vastly preferred the one someone lent me that worked like that. The zippers went most of the way down the legs, so you just had to lay your kid into it, put their little feet through the leg holes, arms through the sleeves and then zip up both zippers. Here's one like what I was talking about... unfortunately sports themed, but you get the idea anyway.
