Can you use a footmuff in the bassinet (uppababy)

[Starry4321]

We have the uppababy vista. Baby is currently 4.5 months old and we are still using the bassinet. I’m looking at footmuff does anyone know if you can use this in the bassinet?

Don't know about this one in particular but I highly doubt it, footmuffs are not designed for bassinets - you're probably better off using blankets or a sleeping bag.

I don’t think a footmuff will fit. We used a fleecy star wrap and blankets in the bassinet. When DD was 5 months old it started to get very chilly and we swapped to the pram seat with the footmuff. There is an insert you can buy for the Uppababy pram seat that makes it suitable supposedly from birth (although I wouldn’t have used it from birth). You can buy the model before the current one quite cheaply secondhand and then sell it on - that’s what we did.

The Uppababy footmuff is very warm and cosy. No need for things like fiddly pramsuits and your baby can just wear indoor clothes with it.

I have an uppababy vista - the footmuff will be way too big for the bassinet and potentially unsafe for the baby. Its brilliant once you swap into the seat though. We just used a pramsuit for the bassinet.

The uppababy flat bassinet comes with a zip on cover in the same material as the hood.
A pramsuit (all in one coat thing) on the baby a blanket and then the zip cover should be fine.
