How to Equip a Stroller for Autumn and Winter: A Practical Guide for Parents

Cold months don’t have to mean the end of outdoor strolls with your baby. With the right gear, you can enjoy fresh air even in wet and chilly weather — your baby will stay warm, dry, and comfortable. Here's a practical overview of what you’ll need for autumn and winter walks.

1. Winter Footmuff – The Core of Every Setup

The merino wool footmuff is an ideal choice for cold weather. Merino wool is natural, warm, and breathable, so your baby won’t overheat or get cold. Thanks to the outer shell fabric, the footmuff is also resistant to wind and moisture.

✔️ Fits carrycots, stroller seats, and car seats.

2. Warm Stroller Liner

Merino liners provide insulation from below and add extra comfort. Winter versions are made of lamb-like merino fleece or reversible designs with organic cotton. They’re a great addition to the footmuff, especially when the stroller seat is cold or synthetic.

3. Warm Blanket – Perfect for Quick Covering

For naps or sudden changes in the weather, we recommend warm baby blankets. The best choice is our double-sided merino blankets – they are warm, breathable, and versatile. Ideal for car seats or as a play mat.

4. Hand Muffs – Warm Hands for Parents

Don’t forget about your own comfort! Stroller hand muffs keep your hands warm even on longer walks. Merino inside feels soft and cozy, while the outer shell resists wind and rain.

5. Anti-Slip Pants – For Home or Active Kids

For babies who are already crawling or moving around more, we suggest our merino anti-slip pants. With silicone grip zones on the knees, they’re perfect for home, playdates, or daycare. Great thermal comfort during the cold season.

6. Extra Tip: Don’t Underestimate Layering

Even with a footmuff, proper base layers are essential. The base should be a functional material (like merino underwear) to keep moisture away and maintain body temperature.

Conclusion: Autumn Can Still Be Cozy

With the right stroller gear, you don’t need to stay indoors. Fresh air is good for babies and parents alike. And when your baby is warm and comfortable, the whole walk will be much more enjoyable.
