I'm starting to prepare for winter and thinking about what clothes and stuff LO will need once it gets really cold. Do you use a footmuff with your stroller or just pile blankets on. The footmuff for our stroller is really expensive so I don't want to buy it unless its really necessary. What about for going in the car? Do you put LO in a snowsuit in the car seat? I heard it could be dangerous because the straps don't go tight enough. If you don't use a snowsuit how do you keep LO warm when in car seat? Any tips on good accessories to get for the winter? Thanks :flower:
 
hi, if you put the LO in a snow suit and have loads of layers of blankets then she will be cosy enough also when its windy I put the raincover over too to block the wind out.

In the carseat we had Ellie in a snowsuit and a blanket or 2 and then her wee cover that came with the carseat

we had a fleecy liner we got with the pram and she was prem so we kept that in her carrycot bit of the pram for the whole winter xx
 
in pushchair im going to do what above poster said.

In the car seat, like you said wearing a snow suit is dangerous in the car because of straps. LO will have blankets on & then use the car heater, if she gets too hot turn heater off or remove blankets. X
 
I have a lot of various thickness's of snow suits, and I use the footmuffs on my buggy although my stroller footmuff when zipped up covers my LO's head so she hasnt grown into that one!
I strap my LO in the car seat wearing a snow suit.

you can get super thin fluffy ones but they are just as warm as the thicker ones x
 
In the car seat we will be using a kind of snowsuit that's made for carseats it looks kind of like a gro bag with the hole for the straps..

Pushchair wise we will be using a pram so a nice snug snowsuit and a blanket
 
ive just bought thick fluffy snowsuits and blankets the foot muff that goes on our stroller is £60+ and cant use a universal one or you cant fold it up (baby jogger)

we leave snow suit on in car too never realised it was dangerous just make sure starps are on her properly and are tight enough
 
Layers like vest, long sleeved top, cardigain, snowsuit & blankets......I have a fleecy liner in my pram too :D
 
The website below explains why thick coats/snow suit can be dangerous.

a bit further down the page it explains how to check if the coat/snow suit your LO will be wearing in the car is safe enough to use in the car.

I have a babyjogger too and really don't want to fork out that much for the foot muff. It does look cosy though!
