Beige Extendable Stroller Footmuff with Greige Merino Fleece

Product detailed description

Merino fleece – a different form of merino wool

Do you love merino wool but prefer something less fluffy than a classic long-pile merino lining? This extendable stroller footmuff offers merino in a different form. The inside is lined with soft fleece made from 100% merino wool, with a short, compact surface without long fibres.

Merino fleece is neither better nor worse than our classic merino lining – it is simply different. It has a smoother, less bulky appearance and may appeal to parents who prefer a less fluffy finish.

As merino fleece has a shorter pile than our classic merino lining, we have also adapted the construction of this footmuff and used a thicker insulation layer.

100% merino fleece in a soft greige shade

The inner layer is made from 100% merino wool with a fabric weight of 210 g/m². Merino wool can absorb and release moisture and helps create a comfortable microclimate around your child.

Unlike our classic fluffy merino lining, merino fleece has a short, soft and compact surface without long fibres.

For this version, we have combined beige outer fabric with merino fleece in a greige shade, blending soft beige and grey tones. The result is a harmonious, elegant colour combination that looks natural and complements a wide range of stroller colours.

An extendable footmuff that adapts as your child grows

The footmuff can be used in both carrycots and pushchairs. In its shorter configuration, it measures approximately 90 cm. By attaching the lower extension section, it can be extended to approximately 115 cm, making it suitable for older children too.

Thanks to its extendable design, you do not need to buy a new footmuff every time your child grows. Simply choose the length that suits your child's current needs.

If you are unsure which size to choose, read our guide How to Choose the Right Size of Merino Wool Footmuff for Your Stroller.

A practical foot section for children who are already walking

We have also thought about the stage when children start walking and climb into the pushchair wearing their shoes. The inside of the removable lower foot section is therefore made from practical outer fabric.

Dirt from shoes can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth without having to wash the entire footmuff.

If the foot section becomes more heavily soiled, it can be removed and washed separately in the washing machine at 30 °C. This means there is no need to wash the main part with merino fleece every time shoes leave a few marks behind.

Use the removable foot section as a handy bag

When your child only needs the shorter version of the footmuff, the removable foot section does not have to stay at home. It has loops on the sides, allowing you to attach your own shoulder strap and use it as a handy bag for nappies, spare clothes or other stroller essentials.

The shoulder strap is not included with the footmuff. You can use a detachable strap from another bag.

Practical design for carrycots and pushchairs

We have designed the footmuff with your child's comfort and everyday practicality in mind.

• Extendable design – approximately 90 or 115 cm long, depending on whether the lower section is attached.
• Safety harness openings – suitable for common 3-point and 5-point harnesses.
• Adjustable upper section – can be tightened to create a snugger space around your child's head.
• Zip-opening front panel – can be opened or removed completely.
• Practical outer fabric – suitable for everyday stroller use.
• Reflective element – positioned on the front for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
• Removable foot section – with a wipe-clean interior and the option of separate washing.

How to care for a footmuff with merino fleece

Merino wool does not need to be washed after every use. We recommend airing the footmuff regularly between washes and washing it only when it is actually soiled.

We recommend gently hand washing the footmuff in lukewarm water at a maximum temperature of 30 °C. By hand washing, we mean washing it by hand in water, not using a washing machine programme labelled "Hand Wash". It is important to keep the water temperature consistent during both washing and rinsing, as sudden temperature changes can cause merino wool to shrink or felt.

Use only detergents specifically designed for wool. Do not use conventional laundry detergents or fabric softener.

Do not tumble dry. While still damp, gently reshape the footmuff and leave it to dry flat, away from direct heat sources and sunlight.

For additional care, you can use a wool conditioner containing lanolin. When storing the footmuff for longer periods, we recommend protecting it from moths.

For more detailed instructions, read our guide How to Wash Merino Wool.

With use and mechanical friction, pilling may occur on the surface of merino wool. To learn why it happens and how to care for the material, read our article Why Does Merino Wool Pill – and Why It's Not a Problem?.

Merino fleece or classic merino lining?

Both versions use merino wool, but they look and feel different. Our classic merino lining is fluffy, more voluminous and has a longer pile. Merino fleece, on the other hand, has a short, soft and compact surface without long fibres.

Neither version is better or worse. Merino fleece is simply an alternative for parents who prefer a smoother and less fluffy surface. Choose the type of merino that feels right for you and your child.
