Order before 16:00 on working days and we ship the same day!
A child in a buggy does not move. That is exactly why they get cold outside faster than you do: you are walking, they sit still with the wind on them. Binibamba makes the things that solve this: footmuffs, sheepskins for the pram, mittens for the push bar and wool booties that stay on.
Everything revolves around wool and sheepskin, and that is no coincidence. Wool holds on to warmth while wicking moisture away, so a child stays warm without getting clammy. Ordered before 16:00 on a working day? Then your order ships the same day.
The question we hear most, and the answer depends on how your child gets around.

The practical difference: a footmuff encloses your child, a sheepskin lies underneath. The footmuff is warmer in truly cold and windy weather; the sheepskin is more versatile, because you do not have to lift your child into it and it can stay in the pram all year.
For most families the combination works best: the sheepskin permanently in the pram, the footmuff added from November. Do you mostly do short trips, with your child always wearing a coat? Then a sheepskin alone is often enough.
Wool does something synthetic filling cannot: it regulates. The fibres absorb moisture without feeling wet and trap air at the same time, which insulates. A child stays warm without starting to sweat, and sweat is exactly what makes you cold the moment you stand still.
On top of that, wool is naturally self-cleaning. A sheepskin or footmuff rarely needs washing: airing is usually enough, and odours disappear by themselves. That saves on maintenance and it is better for the material.
Wash sheepskin and merino wool as little as possible. Airing is the first step: hang it outside for a few hours and most odours are gone. Dab away small stains with a damp cloth and a little wool detergent if needed. If it really has to go in the wash, follow the label: usually a wool cycle at low temperature, no spinning and dry flat, not in the dryer and not on a radiator.
What we see every day when taking children outside: dressed too warm is just as much of a problem as too cold. A child lying in the pram in a thick coat and a footmuff will sweat, and then feels colder than before. Our advice is therefore always: choose one good solution instead of stacking three layers. A wool footmuff over normal clothes works better than a thin muff over a thick coat.
And the practical point we mention most often: mittens on the push bar are the most underrated product in this whole category. Once you have them, you never leave the house with cold hands again.
A footmuff fully encloses your child and is warmer in cold, windy weather. A sheepskin lies in the pram and insulates from below; it can stay in all year and actually cools in summer.
Most footmuffs have openings for the harness and fit the common prams. Check your pram's harness system on the product page.
As little as possible. Airing is usually enough; dab away stains with a damp cloth. For a real wash: wool cycle at low temperature, no spinning, dry flat and not in the dryer.
Yes. Wool regulates temperature, so in summer a sheepskin actually cools. That is one of the reasons it is a purchase that lasts for years.
From the first months, as long as the muff fits your pram's harness system. See the product page for sizes.
Wool holds warmth and wicks away moisture, so a child does not get clammy. It is also self-cleaning, lasts for years and is a natural material.
No: thanks to the moisture regulation, feet stay warm without sweating. Wool booties are also great indoors, for children who kick off their socks.
