    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.

    “A footmuff makes the whole process of getting out the door with your child during the colder months a lot easier,” says Jennifer LaBracio, a baby gear expert at Babylist. “Some footmuffs are so warm and cozy that you can skip a coat altogether and just pop your baby or toddler in their everyday clothes, zip them up, and be on your way. Others require a light layer, like a fleece or a light sweatshirt or hoodie.”
