Keeping your baby warm when out and about
Snug, safe & ready for every adventure
When heading outdoors in colder weather, layering is key to keeping your baby warm and comfortable. Start with a soft cotton vest and sleepsuit, then add fleece-lined clothing or booties, or pramsuits. These create a cozy barrier against the chill while allowing freedom to move.
Warm hat - covers ears and helps retain body heat.
Mittens - keep tiny hands protected from the cold.
Socks or booties - insulate feet and prevent heat loss.
Fleece blanket - ideal for extra warmth in the pram or car seat.
Footmuff - a pram essential for keeping baby snug on the go.
Pramsuit – shields against wind, rain, and cold.
