If you've ever had the pleasure of pushing a pram or stroller during the colder months, you'll know that it's a one-way ticket to stone-cold, blue fingers. There's nothing more powerful for a new parent in the war against naptime than a walk around the block, but you ideally don't want to lose a finger as you try to get them to drift off to sleep. What you need to get you through the winter walks is a set of cosy pram hand muffs, gloves or mittens.

First things first, what are pram hand muffs, gloves and mittens? They're basically a big glove or a pair of gloves that cover both your hands while you push your pram. They attach to the handles of the pushchair and keeps you feeling warm and cosy. Pram mittens also exist and are a nice alternative to a pram muff, and many pram manufacturers will sell products to match the pram's design. So you can coordinate your luxurious designer pram with chic yet practical pram mittens. They come in a range of different styles and will even attach to your smaller travel prams, thanks to their universal sizing.
We've rounded up some of our favourite pram hand muffs and mittens to keep away the chill.

Pram Muffs FAQs
Are pram muffs worth it?
Aren't they just more expensive gloves? Well, not exactly. Using pram hand muffs or pram mittens means your hands are instantly free to help baby, rather than wrestling to get gloves off to grab a dummy or wipe away a tear. Plus, you won’t lose your gloves on a walk as they are fixed to the pram, and you can pop them in your pram organiser for safe keeping. If you suffer from cold hands, then pram hand muffs are an absolute must.
How do you clean pram muffs?
It all depends on your pram muffs and it is best to check with the brand's instructions but most pram muffs can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Some are machine washable (normally at 40 degrees).
Do pram muffs come in different sizes?
They are are typically one-size-fits-all, as they are designed to accommodate a range of hand sizes - so you and your partner can use them. They’re spacious enough to allow for easy hand insertion and removal.
