When the temperature drops, pushing your baby's pram or buggy can quickly leave your fingers feeling stiff and uncomfortable. If you're familiar with that icy ache, then a good pair of pram hand muffs can quickly become your saving grace. They're brilliant for keeping your hands wonderfully warm and toasty, saving your fingers from turning blue as you try to coax your little one to sleep on their third lap around the block.

The best pram hand muffs at a glance

A useful pushchair accessory, pram hand muffs are to winter walks what buggy liners and sunshades are on summer strolls. Not to be confused with footmuffs for your baby's pushchair, pram hand muffs are actually for parents. There are two styles: a pair of mittens or a hand muff. Think of them as a big, cosy glove that attaches itself to your pram and keeps your hands wonderfully warm while you push it. Once you've tried a hand muff, you'll wonder how you ever coped without one.

We love the convenience of pram hand muffs. Instead of wrestling to take off your gloves, you can simply slip your hands in and out of pram muffs, and you're immediately free to help your baby. The best bit? Most of these stay secure and strapped to your pram until you take them off, so you won't lose them like you do your gloves. Now that's what we call a helping hand!

Best sheepskin pram hand muffs

Expert rating:
4.5

Looking for a muff alternative? These mittens from Stokke can be individually attached to your pushchair handle. They have super soft sheepskin trims and a fleece lining and are water repellent, too, so you can be sure your hands will stay nice and dry if you're unexpectedly caught in the rain. They are the most expensive on our list, but you are paying for genuine sheepskin - that's a big difference. Sheepskin wool traps air within its fibres, creating a thermal barrier that helps maintain a stable, warm temperature around your hands, even in freezing conditions. One customer review said: "I bought them for my son and daughter-in-law! They are very happy with them."

If you already have any other Stokke products, you'll know how reliable the brand is and how it insists on high-quality materials. They'll last for years; you can pass them on to family or friends once you're past the pushchair stage. As they're mittens, not a muff, they are a little fiddlier to get your hands out of than the others on our list. They're also made from sheepskin, which may put vegans off.

Pros

  • They are PFC-free and water-repellent, keeping your hands dry
  • Made with high-quality materials offering comfort and warmth
  • These are individually attached to the stroller handle

Cons

  • Compatible with Stokke YOYO 
  • Slightly more fiddly to take your hands out than a muff
  • Easy to wear:
    4.5
  • Warmth rating:

Machine washYes
Material100% nylon (polyamid), PFC free water-repellent coated
Dimensions18 x 28 x 6 cm

These Maxi-Cosi hand muffs are a winter must-have, and what's more is that they're from a brand we all know and love. Each hand has separate slots, and the lining is soft and warm. Just be sure to check they are compatible with your Maxi-Cosi pushchair. This muff is easy to fit onto the handle of your pushchair. Wrap it around and secure using the poppers. We found them easy to use; however, some parents found they were too fiddly. One parent said, "These keep your hands warm! I love the idea, but the downside is that there are lots of press buttons, so it gets confusing! It keeps my hands warm and soft inside, 10 out of 10!"

  • The lining is warm and soft, providing comfort in colder weather
  • Easily attached to the handle of your pram by wrapping around the securing the poppers

Best affordable pram hand muffs

Expert rating:
4.0

This pushchair muff is one of the cheapest we've tested and is worth the money. The muff attaches to your stroller with six poppers, and it's universal, so it fits all brands of prams and pushchairs. The lining is made from extra-thick fleece, meaning your hands will stay warm throughout a long winter walk; the outer material is waterproof, so it's ideal for rainy days too. One customer review said: "I absolutely love these, especially for the price. I have a single-handle bar pushchair and a double-handle stroller, which work perfectly with both! Lovely and cosy too! So happy I don't have to keep fiddling around taking gloves on and off all the time on a walk."

The only downside to this muff is that the fleecy lining might be too thick – beware a sweaty, hot hand. They're a one-size-fits-all design, meaning no adjustment is needed if other people take the baby for a walk. One dad reviewer said: "Bought as a present for my wife, and she's very happy with them. Easy to fit and nice and warm/soft inside. We just leave them on the pram, it makes life easy, just have to be a bit careful when folding it down for the car. I have big hands and can use them too."

Pros

  • They offer a universal fit for all pushchairs, prams and strollers
  • One of the cheapest muffs we've tested
  • Available in two sizes

Cons

  • Double lining might be too warm for some

FAQs

How can I keep my baby warm in the pram during winter?

Also, you must look for ways to keep yourself warm during those frosty, cold weather walks and ensure your baby stays nice and toasty inside their pram. Here are some tips, with a little help from NCT, on how to keep your baby warm in the pram during winter.

Use a multi-layered approach: If you're going to be nipping in and out of houses, shops or cafés while on your walk, then adding and removing layers is the way to regulate their temperature. Check what you are wearing and put your little one in one more layer than yourself. So, if you're wearing a shirt, jumper, and jacket, your baby might need a vest, sleepsuit, jumper, and winter coat. Remember, just as it's important to layer up to go outside, you must also layer down inside to ensure your baby doesn't overheat.

Cover heads and hands: Keeping your baby's head warm in winter is essential, so dress them in a woolly or insulated hat. The ones covering their ears and cheeks are great for maximum warmth and adorability. Mittens for hands are good, although you may have trouble getting your baby to keep them on. It's worth persevering, but remember, little hands can also be tucked under blankets. Most importantly, your baby's body and head are wrapped up well to keep the warmth from escaping.

Keep it natural: Baby clothes made from natural fibres, like cotton and wool, are great for winter and help maintain body heat. They're comfy, warm, gentle on the skin, and let the skin breathe.
Keep them comfy: Choose clothes that allow your baby to move their arms and legs as easily as possible. And watch for potentially annoying zips right up by their neck. Your little one might prefer a few soft, lined cardigans rather than a big, stiff coat.

Ensure they stay dry: Rain covers for buggies and strollers are invaluable in winter – they keep your baby nice and dry and provide extra warmth. A good-sized umbrella will also do the trick if you're using a sling or carrier.

What should my baby wear in cold weather?

If you're wondering what type of layers your little one should wear on their winter walker, we're here to help. When dressing your baby for winter, you'll want to consider items like snowsuits, hats, mittens, snow boots, and thermal layers such as vests, tops and leggings.
