Petrol Blue Extendable Merino Stroller Footmuff

Product detailed description

A unique colour for winter walks

Petrol is a favourite choice for parents looking for something a little different without being too bold. It offers a modern look while remaining elegant and easy to combine with most stroller colours. If you would like a footmuff that stands out in a subtle way, petrol is an excellent option.

The water-resistant outer fabric helps protect your baby from wind and winter moisture, while the insulating filling and soft fluffy merino wool lining create a warm and comfortable environment throughout the winter.

Designed to grow with your child

Without the lower extension, the footmuff measures approximately 50 × 90 cm, making it ideal for newborns in a carrycot. As your child grows, simply attach the removable lower section using the zips to extend the footmuff to approximately 50 × 115 cm.

The extended version is suitable for most pushchairs and can usually be used until around three years of age. Universal harness openings allow the safety straps to pass comfortably through the footmuff.

The dimensions are measured while the footmuff is laid flat. Once placed inside the stroller, it naturally adapts to its shape. If you are unsure which size to choose, we recommend reading our guide How to Choose the Right Size of a Merino Wool Footmuff for Your Stroller.

Simply explained: why merino wool?

Fluffy merino wool works as a natural insulating layer. Tiny pockets of air remain trapped between the fibres, helping to maintain comfortable warmth around your baby. Wool also naturally absorbs moisture, helping to create a pleasant environment during winter walks.

Temperature-regulating properties do not replace appropriate clothing. Always dress your child according to the weather conditions, wind and activity level.

Our manufacturing experience

Parents often choose the petrol footmuff because it offers something different from traditional black or grey while remaining timeless. It brings a fresh touch to the stroller without looking overly bright or fashionable.

From our experience, petrol is also a practical everyday colour. Unlike pure black fabric, loose merino fibres are usually much less noticeable on this shade, helping the footmuff maintain a tidy appearance during regular use.

When selecting the materials, we were not aiming for the highest possible waterproof rating at any cost. Our outer fabric has a 600 mm / 24-hour waterproof rating, which, after years of manufacturing experience, we have found to be an excellent balance between protection from moisture and breathability.

The footmuff is designed primarily for use in a stroller, where your child is protected not only by the outer fabric but also by the stroller canopy. It provides reliable protection during snowfall and light to moderate rain on everyday walks. However, it is not intended as outdoor equipment for extreme weather conditions.

A higher waterproof rating often comes at the expense of breathability. That is why we chose a material that helps keep moisture out while still allowing the fabric to breathe, creating a more comfortable environment inside the footmuff.

Caring for fluffy merino wool

Fluffy merino wool may naturally release a small amount of loose fibre, especially during the first weeks of use. This is a normal characteristic of the material rather than a manufacturing defect. Learn more in our article How to Care for Fluffy Merino Wool.

Wash the footmuff only when necessary. Always use a detergent designed for wool, avoid fabric softener and carefully follow the care instructions. Before washing for the first time, we recommend reading Why You Should Always Follow Merino Wool Care Instructions.
