You’ve lived in Alaska for multiple winters and you aren’t worried about the problem with exposing small children to extreme cold?

You should see how the Finnish treat their babies. Things like frostbite and frostnip don't happen in the few seconds it takes to get from a car to a door. Yes, with small children, those 10 or 20 seconds might turn into 60, but they will be fine.

A low temperature in Alaska will affect you MUCH differently than low temperatures in say, BC which is much more humid and cuts into my bones at -1 where in Alaska/Yukon I've handled -34 and I'm mostly struggling to breath.

As long as it's a quick jaunt into a heated facility, it should be fine with some moderate layers.

These days I live in Washington, not quite as cold as BC but mostly similar. Previously, I have lived in the Northeast of the US and the Northeast of Japan, which are both humid and quite cold and windy in the winter.

I know winter.
