Need some help, please!
My baby is about to outgrown the newborn cocoon so I'm looking for a footmuff....
The bugaboo (bugaboo universal) one is v expensive, but what puts me off most is that it's really long. It goes all the way to the footrest and looks like it will end up getting filthy with mud splashes etc. I also think it looks too big for the bee - like it wasn't really designed for it.
I was thinking about the John Lewis universal fleece footmuff (the red one with white stars - does anyone know it this is the same shade of red as the red bee?). However, I'm not sure this will work... Most pushchairs seem to have a 5 point harness where the shoulder and waist straps are separate parts, and can therefore be slotted through two small shoulder holes / two small waist holes. The bee has the shoulder/waist strap in one piece, and as such the newborn cocoon has long slits in is so that the strap can be pulled through in one piece. I can't see how a 'universal' footmuff with small shoulder holes would work on the bee. It would be possible (I think) to undo the straps, slot them through, and then redo them but it looks fiddly/time consuming and not something I'd want to do regularly. I also worry that if I did this, then the bee wouldn't fold due to the extra bulk of the footmuff - hence it would need done everytime I wanted to fold the bee (which is several times a day!).
Any wisdom, gratefully appreciated!
