Which Winter Footmuff to Choose? Let Us Help You Keep Your Baby Warm
A winter footmuff is an essential part of every parent's equipment. If you're expecting a baby in the autumn or already have a toddler in a stroller, a high-quality footmuff will save you the trouble of layering clothes and worrying whether your child is warm enough.
1. What to Focus on When Choosing a Winter Footmuff
✔️ Thermal Comfort
A winter footmuff should protect not only from cold, but also from wind and moisture. Ideally, it combines thermal insulation, breathability, and water resistance.
✔️ Size and Use
- For newborns and babies up to around 6 months, a smaller footmuff for infant car seats (0–13 kg) is suitable.
- For older babies (approx. 6 months to 3 years), choose a footmuff for deep or sports strollers, ideally with an extension option.
✔️ Materials
- Merino wool is an excellent choice for winter: it naturally warms, breathes, and wicks moisture. It's also suitable for babies with sensitive skin.
- The outer layer should be wind- and water-resistant – such as softshell or coated fabric.
- Filling: Polyester fleece or other insulating layer to maintain stable warmth.
