Which footmuff for your pushchair? (Yoyo, Cybex, Bugaboo…)
You have just invested in a beautiful pushchair — a Yoyo, Cybex, Bugaboo or another model — and you are looking for the footmuff that will go with it perfectly? Good question: not all footmuffs are equal, and compatibility with your pushchair makes all the difference to your little one's comfort. Here is how to choose without going wrong.
Do you need a footmuff made specifically for your pushchair?
That is the first question to ask. There are two families: footmuffs dedicated to one specific model, and universal footmuffs, designed to fit the vast majority of pushchairs thanks to adjustable harness openings and a versatile attachment system.
The universal footmuff has one major advantage: it follows your baby even if you change pushchair — and most families change at least once. It is the most flexible choice, provided it is well designed.
Footmuff for a Yoyo pushchair (Babyzen)
The Yoyo and Yoyo² are compact umbrella-fold pushchairs, hugely popular in town. Their narrow seat calls for a footmuff that hugs the seat closely without overhanging it. A universal footmuff with adjustable harness slots fits without difficulty and keeps your baby warm from birth up to around three years old. See our Yoyo-compatible footmuff.
Footmuff for a Cybex pushchair
Cybex pushchairs (Priam, Mios, Balios) have wider seats and a 5-point harness. Check that the slots in the footmuff are spaced widely enough for the harness to pass through without forcing. A good-quality universal footmuff such as the Inaya fits without a hitch.
Footmuff for a Bugaboo pushchair
Bugaboo (Fox, Cameleon, Bee) offers carrycots and reversible seats. A universal footmuff works just as well on the seat as, for the smallest babies, alongside the carrycot. Go for a warm, water-repellent fabric for winter walks.
Umbrella-fold pushchairs, travel systems and other models
For lightweight umbrella-fold pushchairs, travel systems (car seat + carrycot + seat unit) or lesser-known models, the rule is the same: a well-designed universal footmuff covers the overwhelming majority of cases. What matters is how adjustable the harness openings are and the quality of the attachment.
The simplest solution: a universal footmuff
Rather than hunting for a model dedicated to each pushchair, the Inaya universal footmuff fits all the common pushchairs (Yoyo, Cybex, Bugaboo, umbrella-fold…). With an ultra-soft lining, certified OEKO-TEX Standard 100, vegan and made in Europe, it goes with your baby from birth to three years — and stays with you even if you change pushchair.

How do you fit a footmuff to a pushchair?
The principle is universal: lay the lower section on the seat, thread the harness straps through the slots provided, then fold the upper section over. In a few seconds, your baby is settled in. Most models unzip to become a cosy seat liner when the weather turns milder.
