As you prepare to welcome your little one into the world, there's so much to prepare for. And once they are here, it seems as though you missed some things that people say are essential! One common item that you might forget, or not know you need, is a footmuff. Rain or shine, the best universal footmuffs are a must-have for your baby’s pram when you take them on those wonderful
walks. But why do you need one and for how long? Here, we take a look at some of the best choices when you are looking for footmuffs.
What is a footmuff?
At first glance, you may think that a footmuff looks like a tiny little sleeping bag for your baby! The design is not dissimilar, but a footmuff can be attached to a
pram to provide your baby with more coverage. A well-fitted footmuff should not act as a swaddle, but should cover them up to their chest, allowing their arms to be outside.
Why does your baby need a footmuff?
You might be wondering why you need the best universal footmuffs, especially since summer is on the way! While cold weather is the main reason why parents invest in footmuffs, babies often need to be kept cosier than you might expect. The extra layer of fabric can also make them feel more secure when in their pram, which can be an unsettling experience for some babies - and you won’t need to wrap them up tight in a lot of extra clothes, which can lead to them becoming overly hot. And they can’t throw a footmuff off in the same way they might a blanket. Not only that, but you can opt for some waterproof choices - invaluable in the UK, no matter what time of year it is!
When should I stop using a footmuff?
You may be reluctant to invest in a footmuff if you might only need it for those early months. While it is common knowledge that your newborn might need to be kept warmer than older babies, you don’t need to stop using them as your baby grows. Footmuffs can be adjustable and extendable if unzipped, which means your toddler can still use one as they grow. This is why it is a great idea to buy the best universal footmuffs, made of high quality materials, that are made to last through the newborn days and into the later months.
Do all footmuffs fit all prams?
Before you buy that adorable footmuff you’ve had your eye on, stop and think! While here we will be looking at the best universal footmuffs (read on for our recommendations), not all footmuffs are created equal. There may be some that are made to fit a particular brand of pram, so if you are looking for a footmuff that will fit any pram, then make sure it is actually universal, not just “universal” to a certain brand or type of pram.
