Stroller winter accessories

A footmuff is worthwhile for most babies from an outside temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature drops below that, it keeps their legs warm without you having to put on countless layers. On milder days, a wind cover or a warming insert like the cozy inlay is often enough. Make sure that the footmuff has belt slots that match your stroller's harness so that your child sits safely and warmly.

There is no single best material, because each has different strengths. Lambskin regulates temperature and is suitable for both cold and mild days. Down is particularly light and warm, while fleece is easy to care for. For most families, lambskin is a safe choice for the entire first year. Those who want to enjoy these benefits without a full footmuff can find them in a lambskin liner.

It is best to dress your baby using the onion principle, i.e., in several thin layers that provide warmth together and can be adjusted individually. On top of this goes the footmuff, which keeps the heat inside the pram. It is better to leave a thick winter jacket in the pram, as it compresses under the harness and reduces safety. A hat is an absolute must-have, because your child loses a lot of heat through their head.

Many babies sleep particularly deeply and peacefully in the fresh air, even in winter. It is important that your child is warm and protected from the wind and that you regularly check their temperature at the back of their neck. In cases of severe frost, wind, or wet weather, it is better to shorten the time spent outside. This makes sleeping in the stroller a relaxing part of the day for both your baby and you.
