Skip Hop Stroll-and-Go Three-Season Stroller Footmuff, Toddler, Black

We have an Uppababy Vista, and a friend gave us a simple, lightweight footmuff to go with it. I didn't register for anything like this because, as a first-time mom, I wasn't sure how much we'd be outside in the cold anyway. We had planned to be outside for a while on one trip, and I was concerned about the cold, so I took a chance and purchased this. Now that winter has arrived in full force, we've been using it a lot more than I expected. Nothing is going to keep us from bundled up and heading outside for festivals, 5ks, exploring the city, walking the dog, and whatever other winter activities we can find! br>br> Even when it's extremely cold outside, I still layer our baby. Like other reviewers, I never thought of it as a bunting substitute. For me, it ensures that cold winds and weather do not penetrate the baby's already-worn weather-appropriate clothing. I keep an extra blanket with her if I'm worried. In any case, I believe an extra blanket makes it more snuggly for her. We've gone for walks in temperatures below 30 degrees, and our baby stayed warm. We took it in the city with the kind of wind that smacks you in the face, and she was fine. br>br>Because it zips up like a sleeping bag, it's simple to throw in an extra blanket if you get cold. Because the blankets are zippered in, there is no risk of them being lost. Blankets can't be blown away by the wind. br>br>If this product could be compared to anything, it would be a stroller-sized winter sleeping bag. It's impossible to go anywhere without wearing a hoodie. It has elastic on the sides and can be tightened around a child's head or unzipped and rolled to the sides. People who have had trouble tightening the hood may have done so because the bag must be fully zipped for the elastic to have something to pull and tighten against. br>br>The way the top blanket unbuttons in the middle under the baby's chin is brilliant- If it's cold outside, they'll still be bundled up, but you can still pull the blanket away from their face. The second layer unzips in the same location as the first, allowing you to carry out the same procedure. It turns into a small hot pocket: br>br> )br>br>Overall, I think it's a well-thought-out product that I would recommend. I never have to be concerned about our child getting cold. Even if you don't have a baby, I recommend getting the toddler version. It may appear large at first, but they grow so quickly. For us, the price is well worth the long-term benefits we will derive from it.

We use this stroller bag on the back of our cargo bike with a Thule Yepp Maxi seat, but I've also seen it used with other kid seats (Hamax Caress, for example). It fits perfectly and provides wind and water resistance, so we don't have to dress our daughter in anything other than her regular outdoor clothes (plus a balaclava or hat under her helmet). Even on 35°F days, she has not arrived cold. Even though we may have dressed her in shorts, we leave the stroller bag on (without the winter layer) in the summer because it provides sun and wind protection and keeps her legs warm on cool mornings. A lot of thought has gone into the details: It is possible to remove the winter layer. On hot days, snaps allow you to roll back the cover completely without having to remove it entirely. To keep the seat from siding down, there's an extra flap of fabric on the top that you can hook over the top of the seat. If you need to clip something on, there's a D ring. If you want to keep muddy shoes out or strap the kids' feet down, the bottom zipper unzips (we had to do this for a while because our daughter started trying to take off her shoes while on the back of the bike). Skip Hop should seriously consider selling this as a bike accessory to local bike shops. I would recommend it to anyone.

It was extremely hot. The fit is almost perfect. This is a fantastic product, and I love how easily it fits into the stroller. The fact that it has a zip-up hood is fantastic. I like the layers and how easy it is to add/remove layers as the temperature changes. During the colder months, it's a breeze to get in and out. The footmuff fits in my Chicco Activ3 stroller, but it has a hard time reclining when my daughter falls asleep. If I want to recline all the way, the part of the hood that 'attaches' to the stroller becomes stuck and must be removed. br>The little rings for toys are cute, but I think they require toys with long attachments because otherwise the kid wouldn't be able to reach them. br>I bought the toddler size for my 6-year-old daughter. When you buy something, you get it for 7 months. It's obviously large, but it'll do for the upcoming cold season, so I'm glad I didn't go with the infant size.

This was well worth the money. It only takes a few minutes to get everything up and running. I primarily used it with my Joovy Caboose double stroller. br>You'll still need to wrap up your baby in a warm blanket. Under a fleece footed pajama, a fleece jacket, a hat, and mittens, I layered a shirt, pants, and socks. I know it seems like layering defeats the purpose, but believe me when I say that the cold wind would get through even without the footmuff. It's windproof, so when I took my baby out, she was nice and warm. I also like that when the weather warms up, the padded part simply snaps off, ensuring that she has enough wind protection without overheating. I never had to worry about her staying warm in this product, and it even stayed dry on the inside when it rained. This is the footmuff you should buy if you want to keep your child warm and dry. I would recommend it to anyone who spends a lot of time with their children outside in the cold.
