The Clair de Lune universal footmuff comes in 5 colours. We tested red as we thought it would contrast well with our Maxi-Cosi Pebble car seat. The footmuff came in its own resealable bag which is great for storing away.
The footmuff was a fabulous bright red which we loved and could tell straight away that it was very good quality. The outside material has the appearance of an expensive outdoor coat and the inside is lined with a lovely soft fleece. The front and back is full of soft padding and very snugly. I was impressed that the footmuff had a plastic zip that is much safer for little hands and mouths. The zip is double ended and is the full length of the top layer. The quality of the product and way it has been made is unbelievable.
It fit very easily in our car seat. There were three options for the shoulder harness straps and a main hole for the main catch. We put the large elasticated strap behind the padded seat, but inside the plastic where the sun visor is stored. You can see how well the strap has been stitched in to the muff for strength. The only negative for me is the inside tag which had loose thread on the reverse of the logo. My little one loves tags and I would be worried about what would pull off in his hands/mouth. This could easily be rectified by removing the tag or amending the design.
We tested the footmuff over a few weeks and Harlan loved it. He was much more snuggly on trips out and it was perfect for the cold weather. As the padding is so comfortable we'll probably leave the back part in the car seat as it gets warmer. Harlan slept longer than normal as he was hugged in to the car seat, with more padding under his head. He was very comfortable. The top layer of the footmuff was curved, so when he was asleep, I could pull it up to keep him snug, but when awake I just folded it back.
Overall I am very impressed with the footmuff and I would definitely recommend it. The quality of the material and how it's made is very good and the footmuff has been well thought out. There's a great selection of colours to choose from to make it easy to match to other things and it's very easy to use.
It definitely got the thumbs up from mum, dad, and Harlan. He loves it!
