Summer Footmuff
During summer, you’ll likely spend plenty of time outdoors with your family. A summer footmuff with sheepskin is the perfect choice for your pram or buggy, providing a cosy, comfortable, and breathable base for your baby – even in warm weather.
Summer Footmuff: Sheepskin Footmuffs for Prams – The Perfect Companion for Warm Weather
As a parent, you want only the best for your child. But which material is ideal for a pram in summer? Fellhof summer footmuffs are compatible with various pram models and attachments, including carrycots, infant car seats, and buggies.
Many believe that sheepskin is only suitable for winter – but that’s a misconception! Sheepskin footmuffs are much more than just a winter accessory. In summer, sheepskin naturally regulates temperature, creating a comfortable climate in the pram. Today, we’ll introduce you to the benefits of summer footmuffs with natural sheepskin.
What Is a Summer Footmuff?
A summer footmuff is a specially designed footmuff for prams, infant car seats, and buggies, tailored to meet your baby’s needs in warm weather. As sheepskin is a natural, breathable material, it promotes excellent airflow and helps prevent overheating.
Beyond temperature regulation, summer footmuffs provide protection from the sun and wind while keeping your baby dry in light drizzle. Suitable from birth up to approximately 36 months, they are an essential part of any young family's baby gear.
Sheepskin Summer Footmuffs
These footmuffs are made from natural sheepskin, known for its soft and breathable texture. Originally designed for colder months, sheepskin summer footmuffs have proven to be highly effective in transitional seasons and warm weather. Thanks to their breathable properties, they wick away moisture efficiently, keeping your baby’s body and feet dry and at a comfortable temperature.
Another key advantage: Summer footmuffs are easy to care for and can be machine-washed at low temperatures (30°C), making them a practical choice for year-round use.
Sheepskin: A Natural Expert in Temperature Regulation
Sheepskin is a true all-rounder when it comes to temperature regulation. Thanks to its natural properties and long fibres, sheepskin is highly effective at balancing temperature. That’s why Sheepskin provides warmth in winter and keeps your baby cool in summer. Its breathable structure ensures optimal airflow, preventing heat build-up. Additionally, sheepskin absorbs and releases moisture, making it particularly beneficial for babies who tend to sweat. This helps keep your baby’s skin dry and comfortably regulated at all times.
Often referred to as sheepskin, lambskin naturally wicks away moisture while offering exceptional softness and comfort. It’s the ideal material for our lambskin footmuffs, ensuring your little one stays cosy all year round.
Spring, summer, autumn, or winter – a lambskin summer footmuff can be used throughout the year, maintaining a comfortable temperature for your baby in every season.
Materials and Fabrics
There are many summer footmuffs available, made from materials such as cotton, polyester, fleece, or mesh. These lightweight fabrics allow good airflow and help prevent overheating.
However, sheepskin summer footmuffs stand out. They combine the natural benefits of sheepskin: breathability and temperature regulation, making them unbeatable – all year round!
Advantages of Sheepskin Over Synthetic Materials
While synthetic materials like polyester or fleece are often less breathable and don’t effectively wick away moisture, sheepskin excels with its natural properties:
- Breathability: Sheepskin promotes airflow and prevents heat build-up.
- Moisture regulation: It absorbs sweat and releases it back into the air, keeping the skin dry and comfortable.
- Ultimate comfort: The soft and cosy texture of sheepskin ensures maximum comfort, perfectly adapting to your baby’s body. Sheepskin footmuffs are ideal for children of all ages, offering exceptional comfort.
- Self-cleaning and easy to maintain: Thanks to its natural lanolin content, sheepskin has self-cleaning properties.
- OEKO-TEX certified & animal-friendly: Our commitment to high-quality, ethically sourced Merino sheepskin.
In contrast, synthetic materials are often less breathable, leading to increased sweating and discomfort. They also lack the natural temperature regulation that seepskin provides.

If you’re looking for an even lighter summer cover for your Fellhof pram footmuff, you can transform it with a CANVAS summer cover or a FELT summer cover. These covers turn your sheepskin footmuff into a lightweight and breathable version for warmer months.
The summer covers are made from either water-repellent cotton canvas or soft felt, making them ideal for transitional seasons and cooler summer days. OEKO-TEX® certified and washable at 30°C with Fellhof Shampoo, they are easy to maintain and gentle on the skin.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Summer Footmuff
When choosing a footmuff, there are several key factors to consider to ensure it perfectly suits your pram and meets your baby’s needs.
