This is a footmuff that can be attached to a stroller. It is padded for warmth, and the inside is fleece, so I don't think your child will be surprised by the cold the moment you put them in. I've also used it as a sleeping bag when we were out. It looks nice, but upon inspection for listing, I found a few areas of pilling on the fleece, and some damage to the fabric around the snaps. This is a used item that a child has used, so I would appreciate it if someone who understands this would use it. It will be shipped folded small, so please understand this as well.
