Foot muffs

Footmuff – the perfect item to keep your little one wrapped up and cosy in Winter

Babies are particularly susceptible to the cold because they cannot regulate their body temperature themselves. While you may sweat quickly when pushing the pram, your little one is just sitting in it without moving much. If there is also some wind blowing, it can be quite uncomfortable for your tiny human. The perfect solution to this problem is a footmuff. This accessory features slots in the back and foot area through which you can guide the straps of the pram and install it safely. In contrast to a blanket that inevitably slips on the floor or can get into the wheels and even block them, a footmuff always stays in place. A footmuff is usually also more insulating than a blanket because it fills the entire seat of the pram and thus offers your child a sort of cocoon in which they can sit or lie while being cuddled up cosy. In addition to the water- and wind-repellent properties of the outer material, a footmuff usually comes with a fluffy, insulating inside made of microfleece, such as the Britax Römer Footmuff Shiny Cosytoes, or made of polyester fleece, such as the Fillikid Winter Footmuff Eco BIG. This way it keeps your child cosy and warm in the rain, wind and snow. Furthermore, a footmuff is equipped with a zipper, which makes opening and closing it easier and through which you can easily put your baby in and out of it again.

What do you need to consider when buying a footmuff?

If you are looking for a footmuff, you should first check whether the size is suitable for your baby. Footmuffs are available in different sizes or suitable for different age groups, respectively. Many footmuffs can be used from birth up to approximately 3 years of age. However, there are also footmuffs that have been specially designed for newborns, such as the Inglesina Newborn Winter Footmuff. When choosing the right size, please pay attention to the information provided by the manufacturer.

A second important aspect to consider when buying a footmuff is whether it is compatible with your pram. Many manufacturers offer universal footmuffs that are suitable for most common pram models. Others, however, offer custom-fit footmuffs that are only compatible with certain pram models.

A footmuff should also offer you the opportunity to adjust it. Zippers that run all the way around the footmuff and allow the front part to be removed, facilitate opening and closing as required. There are also models that have a drawstring in the head section, so that you can protect your child's sensitive head in a much better way.

It is also important that the width of the straps of the pram matches with the size of the belt slots on the footmuff. This way you can ensure that the footmuff fits perfectly and that your child is always safe when being out and about in the pram.
