Stroller footmuffs, aka buntings, are like a weather-resistant sleeping bag that attaches to your stroller, keeping your baby or toddler cozy and warm on winter days while you’re out and about. (And yes, you’re allowed to feel a little jealous at the idea of being pushed around in a stroller wrapped up in a snug and toasty cocoon.)
To identify the best stroller footmuffs, José Amézquita, who led CR’s testing, evaluated five popular footmuffs for warmth and features. Several evaluators also ranked them for softness and ease of use. Our testers found that not all stroller footmuffs are created equal: Some are more difficult to attach to the stroller, and others aren’t quite warm enough to be used on their own without a jacket or sweater.
