Why is this baby footmuff versatile?
The design team has created a webbing passage system for both 3-point and 5-point harnesses. As a result, this footmuff can be used on sleds, strollers and bike trailers.
How is the comfort temperature of this baby footmuff measured?
Our simulated comfort temperatures range from -5°C to -25°C. We test our products in the laboratory to measure their thermal insulation. Measurements are taken on a thermal mannequin equipped with ski clothing and accessories. The measurement indicated is that of the outside temperature at which a 2-year-old child feels neither hot nor cold. This feeling differs according to the intensity of the activity and the individual's own feelings.
How can I be sure that my baby will be warm and cozy when sledding in the snow?
Our designers use wadding to keep the body warm. This polyester-based synthetic component stores air according to its thickness. So, the thicker the wadding, the more air it contains and the more insulating it is.
The baby footmuff uses:
- two superimposed layers of wadding, each weighing 150 g/m².
- a reinforced insulation layer on the seat with a 150 g/m² needle punch.
- a 220 g/m² fleece lining on the back and seat.
How do you dress your babies under this footmuff in cold to very cold weather?
To stay warm and dry, simply apply the 3-layer rule plus accessories (snow boots, mittens, ski socks):
- Layer 1 or thermal underwear, to stay dry.
- Layer 2 or insulating layer, to keep warm.
- Layer 3 against bad weather.
How is the waterproofness of this baby footmuff tested?
This waterproof baby footmuff has been validated in a shower test under 60 liters of water / m² / hour for 4 hours. This test reproduces average snowstorm conditions.
How is the waterproofness of this baby footmuff tested?
The impermeability of a fabric, ensured by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm H20 (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher the number, the more waterproof the fabric.
This baby footmuff is designed with a coated waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard): this component resists 5000 mm H20 (Schmerber) before washing (i.e. the pressure exerted by 5 meters of water column).

How can you be sure that your baby footmuff is strong and durable?
We take particular care to select materials that are suitable for the purpose, in order to guarantee the best possible resistance.
The baby footmuff, used on a sled, stroller or bicycle trailer, is subject to repeated abrasion. The design team therefore selected an abrasion-resistant component for the lower outer part.
According to the Martindale test (EN ISO 12947-1:1999), this component resists abrasion up to 72,000 cycles.
