❄️ 1. What is the purpose of a stroller footmuff?

A stroller footmuff is an essential accessory for winter walks.

Unlike a traditional blanket, it stays securely in place and does not slip.

The most important thing is that they are compatible with the safety harness.

📏 3. Up to what age can it be used?

Most models are suitable up to 3 or 4 years old , depending on your child's size.

Some footmuffs are adjustable: they grow with your child and adapt to their growth.

🛞 4. Is it compatible with all strollers?

Most footmuffs are said to be universal , with openings for harness straps.

Some brands have specific models: remember to check the dimensions and reviews before ordering.

Not all of them! Some stroller footmuffs are not approved for use with car seats.
