I hope others will find any recommendations useful, given the time of year!

My child is a small 2 year old but doesn't fit in the JoJoMamanBeBe footmuff that's meant to be for up to 3 year olds!

I need one that's long and goes round the head properly.

Ideally without a really thick back as the straps on her pushchair are too short to accommodate a thick one + toddler in snowsuit (yes it's very cold where we are!).

Haven't found anything better than this so far but it has no crotch-to-foot measurement so I can't be sure it's big enough

thanks and season's greetings!

and when I say small, I mean they're in 12-18 months old clothes most of the time!

My favourite footmuff was a lodger bunker. It was lovely and snug and you can remove the inner fleece.

AIBU footmuff, long and warm, recommendations please?

Kaiser thermo iglu. Very long and can also zip the foot bit off if they ever outgrow it (or if they have muddy shoes). Drawstring to pull snug around head area.

that does look snug, but I don't think it would be long enough sadly.
How sensible, that you can remove the inner fleece! :-)

sorry I was replying to the lodger bunker comment, i'll look at the Kaiser one now!

the Kaiser looks good. So far, the maxi cosi general footmuff is my favourite, think I might be being swayed by the lovely blues on this model tho:

Looks good but check out the amazon reviews, a couple say not as described (eg front bit doesn't zip off to create a liner)

The lodger is bigger than it looks in the pic

We found the Big Bugs from buggy snuggle the best - e.g. www.buggysnuggle.com/shop/buggysnuggles/Bigbugs/BIG377_midnight-paris-hearts-fur-navy-fleece-bigbug.aspx

Love the wallaboo. It fits up to 36 months: big warm and cosy

I spent £50 on one from mothercare last year, it's furry and cosy and so long my (tall) then 3yr old was able to be cosy in there
