Which pushchair accessories are worth it?

So, there seems to be a massive list of accessories that are available, but they are not cheap! Just wondered which are worth getting and which are not.

What would you get out of the following (assuming not included with the pushchair):

Raincover - this seems sensible!

Sunshade
Bug screen
Bumper bar
Snack tray
Parent organiser
Cup holder
Footmuff/cosytoes
Padded insert to support small baby in large seat
Sheepskin liner
Pram clip

Also do I have to buy the branded ones or are there generic (cheaper...) ones which fit just as well?

For us the raincover came with

Only thing we got was the footmuff. I was all for just using a blanket but dd is a kicker n a 10 min walk took double cos I kept stopping to wrap her feet back up

Ok, silly question: What do I need to keep the baby warm inside the carrycot (December baby)? Are there footmuffs that I can use inside the carrycot, and then transfer to the seat later, or should I just use blankets...?

I woudnt add anything other than a sheet underneath and blankets on top. Carrycots have to meet strict criteria and depth is important as supposedly is air flow. If the Cruz carrycot is anything like the Vista one, then there will be good air vents and adding a cocoon in would affect this air flow, as well as the critical depths. Baby needs a coat or snow suit.

I agree. A liner and blanket for carrycot. Liner for when baby is sick/dribbles. As I found out too late.

The Cruz carrycot is not as deep as the Vista one and not ventilated at the base like the Vista one (hence not suitable for overnight sleeping unfortunately).

Sheet and blanket sounds fine though, thanks. Are there special fitted sheets/liners?
