Keep baby warm/dry - what to use with a sheepskin buggy liner?

Hi

I've just bought a sheepskin buggy liner as my previous cosy toes and separate foot muff (Britax) were too bulky and annoying! But I'm not sure what to use with it to keep her warm and dry? She kicks off blankets and something like a Buggysnuggle will be too bulky. Any suggestions or things that people have used?

Thanks!

Ooh! I can offer a suggestion! You can get baby sleeping bags that have slits for a 5 point harness. So it sits in the pram, you put baby in and fasten the harness then zip up the front of the bag. Their arms and head aern't covered, but the rest is.
Now if I could only remember the website I bought it from... Blush

A Stayput blanket attaches to the pushchair with press stud straps. You can get waterproof ones too. Will try and find a link.

Thanks you...the Stayput looks like it might work, although I'm not sure if the attachments work with my buggy (Britax) - I can't see what I would attach it to as it doesn't have a frame like a Mclaren type buggy...? I will give the company a call though.

Thanks also for the sleeping bag suggestion - has anyone found any that are waterproof too?

stayput best bet, if you are looking for something lightweight pupabag sell lightweight water resistant footmuffs that are lighter than a buggysnuggle? I am also selling a jojo 'in the rain' red/navy footmuff atm!

yes a stayput
but make your own by sewing on tapes (or toggles and loops or whatever) onto a regualr fleece blanket in appropriate places for your frame, or to go round your harness or whatever. Which pushchair? Vigour?

Thanks - Pupabag look quite good too.

Making my own Stayput is also a great idea - yes its a Vigour and the frame is a bit awkward to attach things to (the foot muff they sold with it was impossible to keep attached firmly so I've given up! I have also had to sew elastic onto a snooze shade to try and keep it on!).

Have you also got a Vigour?

Thanks for the suggestions.

no, I have a knackered old Buzz but it has many of the same drawbacks attachment-wise - I had to get quite creative to make my Protect-a-bub work when the seat's facing me.
