In winter, parents spend a lot of time every day holding the stroller handle, and hands get cold even in warm gloves. A stroller hand muff solves this: it attaches to the handle, and you simply slip your hands inside. Here is how a muff works and how to choose one.
Why a muff beats gloves
In gloves, your palm still rests on the cold handle and gradually gets cold. In DoRechi's patented muff design, your hand does not touch the cold handle. The muff creates a closed space: warmth stays in and the wind stays out.
1. Stroller compatibility
Before buying, check your stroller's handle: one bar or two separate handles, with or without a hand brake. DoRechi muffs are universal - they fit strollers with single or double handles, with or without hand brakes.
2. Outer fabric
The outside of the muff should be windproof and water-repellent so it does not soak through in wet snow. Check the zippers too: they are opened and closed every day, so they need to be reliable.
3. Lining: sheepskin or fleece
- Sheepskin - natural wool on a woven base. DoRechi sheepskin muffs have two layers of insulation under it.
- Fleece - anti-pilling Polar fleece. DoRechi fleece muffs have four layers of insulation under it - twice as much as the sheepskin muffs.

4. Care
A fleece muff is machine washable. A sheepskin muff needs dry cleaning or a hand wash with a wool detergent. If the whole family will use the muff every day, fleece is the more practical choice.
5. Safety in the dark
Winter evenings come early, so reflective elements on the muff make you more visible to drivers when crossing the road with a stroller.
In short: what to choose
