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

Ds is one, he was an October baby so was in his pram for his first winter.
I have a lightweight stroller that I used last summer but as the winter set in he wouldn’t keep his blanket on so I bought a different pushchair with a foot muff, however that pushchair is not going to last much longer so I’m going to get rid of it in the spring when the weather gets warmer and revert back to the light weight stroller and I’m wondering if it will be enough next winter or if I should keep the foot muff from this pushchair which would fit but not match for next winter when he’s 2, or will a two year old not need a foot muff by then?
I’m just thinking ahead and don’t want to keep something by we won’t even need by then.

I never used a foot muff, just blankets, warm trousers, puddle suits, decent shoes, plus a rain cover which I’d put on even if not raining but windy. And I got them to walk quite a bit which kept them warmer than sitting, but appreciate that’s not always an option when you need to get somewhere fast.
They never seemed cold.

I used the foot muff loads even once walking. It just needed washing a bit more often. They are sitting very still in the pushchair and if you need to go a long way (we did about 5 miles a day) they will likely get cold.

Just keep the old one & if it gets really cold you've got something? But if it never gets used, no loss.

Nah, I didn't use one once they wanted to be in and out of the pram all the time and had muddy shoes. We just used a bundlebean waterproof blanket instead.

I doubt a foot muff would fit a two year old, he’ll be grand with blankets!
