Anyone traveling outdoors in the cool and cold season with small children knows the problem: their hands are cold. Despite soft plastic covers, foam fittings and gloves, the hands simply do not want to stay warm. The stiff, slightly mobile posture on the handles of stroller, Joggers or buggyis little blood circulation, the hands are just cold and stay it. First, it is unpleasant for adults and children, and second, it is impractical in terms of flexibility.

Gloves disturb, a muff can not be worn

Why do you need one hand warmeron the stroller? Most people wear in winter anyway gloves… In theory, that’s true, people with prams are often out and about in the city. Since you have to just quickly count off the change for the bus, the coffee mugTake care of your hands, open doors or do other trivial things where gloves are a hindrance and you need warm, supple hands. The hand warmer on the stroller is therefore quite useful, because he keeps your hands not only warm, but dry and mobile.

Warm, waterproof, lined, with UV blocker and cuddly

Of course, the hand warmer on the stroller should of course keep you warm. A water-repellent or waterproof coating is very useful at least when drizzle or snow flurries. On sunny days, the hand warmer on the stroller also offers UV protection. The winter sun is not to be underestimated, a sunburn at the ideal angle for it stored hands is extremely unpleasant. And finally, hand warmers should just be cuddly and comfortable on the skin. The outer pockets made of water-repellent or waterproof nylon for the hands are lined inside with soft fleece made of vegetable or synthetic textiles. The fluffy, thick fabric encloses the hands loosely, so that no cold draft from the outside comes in.

Different models: individually or as a muff

Hand warmer for the stroller are model independent. They can be fastened with snaps on each stroller, as they are not firmly connected to the car. The handwarmer is unbuttoned around the handlebar or handles of the stroller and buttoned, more does not happen. And because parents and other people on the stroller have different preferences, there are very different models of hand warmers:
– The muff, in which both hands are placed close to each other, so that the hands can warm each other
– The muff with separate pockets for the hands: on the outside a part, divided on the inside by darts
– The individual pockets, in each of which only one hand finds space, so that one-handed sliding without cold draft is possible
– the mitten model – two thick mittens that reach over the wrists and jacket sleeves down to the forearm are fastened to the stroller independently of each other with press studs

Which model is preferred is ultimately a matter of taste. Some people have warmer hands when both are packed together, and others certainly prefer the variation that resembles mitts.

Sewn with love

Hand warmer for the stroller is not only available from the relevant manufacturers in the field of strollers and accessories, but also on Selbstmachplattformen. As the hand warmers are not difficult to sew, many hobby designers offer different models that are suitable for all strollers and stand out in terms of design. If necessary, sewing instructions are also available on the Internet and in the relevant magazines, so that the individual desired model can be produced. Hand warmer belong (in contrast, for example, to the sunroof) not standard equipment for the stroller.

Who spares the cost of the hand warmer, because they can be used on the stroller only one or two winter long, should rather opt for the model hand warmer with two individual pockets. Because these hand warmers can be buttoned later on the handlebar of the child’s wheel, so that the offspring in the cold season with warm hands in the open air. This extends the life of the hand warmer to a total of up to five years – the investment in this case definitely worth it.
