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.

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.

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

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

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