Frequently asked questions about footmuffs
Do I need to wash the footmuff before use?
No, you do not need to wash the footmuff before first use. Our footmuffs are pre-washed at the factory and ready to use straight out of the packaging.
How many degrees below zero can an Easygrow footmuff handle?
Easygrow winter footmuffs are designed for Nordic conditions and used throughout Norway all winter long. They are filled with down and insulation to keep your baby warm in temperatures that are considered safe to bring baby outside in according to health authorities.

Tip: All babies are different, always check your baby’s neck to see if they are too warm or too cold.
When should I switch from a spring footmuff to a winter footmuff, and vice versa?
Most parents switch when the temperature drops to around 7–10°C. It depends on how much clothing your baby is wearing and your baby’s individual temperature regulation. Use the neck as an indicator - it should feel warm and dry.
Is a footmuff really necessary?
You can use blankets or a duvets in the stroller, but a footmuff provides safer and more consistent warmth. It surrounds the baby, protects from wind and rain/snow, and prevents cold air from getting in. You also avoid blankets being kicked off.
Which footmuff is the best?
The best footmuff is the one that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Easygrow has multiple award-winning models:
- Spire and Lyng – Best spring footmuff
- Fnugg and Grandma – Award-winning all-season footmuffs
- Nord and Nature – Top-rated winter footmuffs
Tests can be helpful, but always choose based on features that matter to you.
How long can my child use the footmuff?
Most Easygrow footmuffs have an extension part and can be used up to around 4 years of age. This gives you long-lasting value. Our footmuffs are made to last for several kids and can also easily be passed down or resold.
Should I use a sheepskin inside the footmuff?
Sheepskin is a great addition on extra cold days. It provides insulation from underneath and creates a snug environment, especially for newborns. Less air around the baby means it's easier to retain warmth.
What’s the difference between a stroller footmuff and a car seat footmuff?
The main difference is the zipper. Easygrow car seat footmuffs have a non-lock zipper, making it quick and safe to open in case of an emergency. A regular stroller footmuff has a locking zipper to keep warmth securely inside.
Conclusion
A high-quality footmuff makes everyday life easier for you and more comfortable for your baby. Easygrow offers models for all seasons with a focus on comfort, safety, and sustainability - designed for Nordic weather.
