To think I won’t need a foot muff for a two year old?

Started refusing it when he began to drop his nap. Around 2.5 years. Super handy before that when he regularly pram napped.

Depends on how cold it is where you live. Regularly -17 with high winds for us so bundling up is essential.

Always used a footmuff, found them much easier than blankets.

If you already have one I would just hang on to it until next year, you won't know whether your dc is the type to refuse the buggy or not need the footmuff until he's at that age and if you get rid of it then he'll either be uncomfortable without it or you'll end up forking out for a new one. It doesn't take up that much room to store. My eldest dd used a buggy and a footmuff at that age, it was a very cold winter and sitting in a long walk she would have been cold. My younger dd never used a footmuff at all, she never gets cold and would have been fine. We kept the footmuff for her but it doesn't matter that it didn't get used, I sold it on Vinted eventually but only when I knew she wouldn't use it.

We never had one i didn't want to overheat them

We still use one with our 2 year old and although he doesn't nap in the buggy, his older brother definitely did at this age and used the footmuff. He'd have kicked a blanket off.

I’m using mine this winter for my October born 2 year old - we use the one below with a bugaboo butterfly and it’s fantastic and water proof
plus you can open up the bottom for when they have muddy boots on or if they get tad tall
it’s fab for going from car to pram as then there’s no need for bulky jackets, which they can’t wear in car

I didn’t have one for our Maclaren foldable stroller which we used from around age 2. Just a rain cover for very wet/windy days.

My 2 year old doesn’t fit in the foot muff anymore. But he will happily sit with a blanket now so we use that.

We still use ours! DD is 2 next month

Personally I was really glad to have it, my DS loved it. But we would walk for long distances and he would nap in the buggy. I liked the fact I didn’t have to dress him in thousands of layers just for the shops/cafe/nap. But equally he loved it after being active and found it super cozy. He hated mittens and being bundled up so it worked for him.

You’ll be fine without the footmuff. I’ve never had one and never felt I was missing one. I have three kids under five and I don’t drive, for what it’s worth!

I've never used a footmuff with any of my kids, at any age. A 2 year old will be fine I'm sure!

My DD daughter was like this. Used to take the buggy for longer walks but she would walk next to it on reins pushing her doll. I don’t drive so she was walking 1 1/2-3 miles a day. DS was born a few weeks before she turned 3. So didn’t want her getting too dependent on the buggy. She still walks miles now never complains she’s tired.

My dc at 2 wouldn’t have liked contained in a foot muffin and it would have got filthy. We used the fleece lined waterproof trousers from Lidl whe it was cold and wet. They could get in and out as they pleased and kept dry and warm

That really depends how far you need to go. We don't drive and walk a long way, there's no way we could have managed without a pushchair whatever my 2 year olds opinion might have been.

You may not even be using a pushchair of any kind! As soon as mine reached two they refused to go in one and walked everywhere!

I kept mine until I stopped using the buggies! They often unzip at the bottom to allow muddy toddler shoes to poke out.

They get cold much quicker than adults because their body size is tiny and especially when they are sitting in a buggy while an adult is having the exercise of walking. A footmuff is much cosier than blankets. We had lovely thick ones which were almost like a big fluffy duvet.

When mine was 2.5 in winter we had a lightweight pushchair and a thick waterproof all in one suit. He liked to walk a bit, then ride a bit, then walk a bit, so it was much better to have something that would keep him warm and dry walking and riding!

Bundle bean footmuff was fab for mine at that age, it's more like an attached blanket with a shaped bpttom. water resist and fleece lined and has straps at the top to stop it falling off. We used to layer blankets under it when it was cold.

I still used a footmuff at 2-3, with my eldest - it did get muddy but blankets just end up under the wheels in my experience. My second child wouldn't entertain a buggy after he could walk which was a joy 🫠

My two year olds didn’t necessarily want to go in the pram but I used to walk everywhere so if I wanted be anywhere in reasonable timeframe they didn’t get a choice!

OP Mine used footmuffs for as long as they used the pram. It can get cold just sitting down and mine were still napping in the buggy at 2.

A two-year-old might not even want to go in the pram that often to be honest
