11 best pram mittens and gloves to keep hands warm on winter walks

After living in New York over two cold winters, back in the UK mum-of-two Jennifer Reay created her fashion-forward brand Hudoma in 2021. The Chelsea black pram gloves are undeniably stylish and, without a doubt, the softest we tested, thanks to the warming faux-fur lining, which is present all the way down to your knuckles. With a cool wet-look design, the luxe outer fabric is both wind and water-resistant and is a stylish addition to any pushchair.

A doddle to attach and boasting a universal design, there are two discreet strips of Velcro on the outer section. The “pusher” still has hold of the pushchair’s handlebar, all the while keeping you cosy but in control. A generous length (28cm), they’re also available in blue and silver.

If you want to give your pushchair and neglected paws a luxe upgrade, then look to German brand Kaiser. Just one stroke of the premium sheepskin – which is predominantly sourced from Germany’s finest woollies – and you know winter pram strolls will never be the same again.

Certified by Oeko-Tex standard 100 class – a well-regarded textile certification to ensure every component has been tested for harmless substances – the sheepskin is sustainable and ecological. We were also taken by the outer material (we opted for grey but it’s also available in black and blue), which is water resistant and windproof, so it’s ready for whatever the British weather can throw at it.

By the packaging, we were concerned that it may be a little cumbersome once attached, but it was surprisingly compact and could be tightly fixed, thanks to the adjustable Velcro fastenings.

One unit opposed to separate gloves, it feels just as cosy, as there’s a Velcro tab in the middle to create a snug fit around each hand. And the fixture couldn’t be easier, wrapping around the handlebar, meaning you’ll still have a full grip for steering.

The leopard print’s popularity shows no signs of waning, and we’re here for it. So if you want to inject some pattern while keeping your hands cosy, this cool piece of kit from Tiba & Marl is the perfect way to upgrade your pushchair for winter.

Looks aside, there’s a lot to love about this product, from the integrated practical pocket – complete with rubber headphone port and sleek gunmetal zip – to the water-resistant nylon outer material, which means it can handle a brief shower or two. It’s a universal fit and a doddle to attach to the handlebar, as you’re simply popping the buttons together.

While it’s not as snug a fit on your hands as the separate glove style, its fleece inner really takes the chill off your extremities on winter walks. It’s also available in a quilted black or black leopard. The branding is undeniably chic, from the rubber embossed branded tab on the front cover, to the Tiba & Marl doodled into the leopard print.

We felt like we’d look the part walking in the Scandinavian mountains with these stroller gloves from Swedish brand Najell. A pop of colour in this Dijon mustard colourway, we love the design, from the corded material to the contrasting white elasticated cuffs.

There are discreet zips on each side of the glove, meaning there are four zips to navigate, which we anticipated being fiddly. But although you wouldn’t want to attach these in a rush, they were pretty straightforward.

We praise these gloves for flexibility, too. You can adjust the cuffs for an extra-snug fit but, rather uniquely, there’s an inside pocket so you can choose between direct contact with the handlebar or placing your hands inside the pocket instead.

Water repellent and machine washable, all materials in these stroller gloves are certified by Oeko-tex class 1, containing minimal amounts of chemicals. The filling is made of Sorona, which consists of recycled polyester and maintains fluffiness even after contact with water. Practical, eco-conscious and irrefutably fashionable.

These noir buggy mittens from Binibamba will certainly pimp up your pushchair. Handcrafted in England and using the finest merino sheepskin and premium natural suede, they’re – quite literally – a touch of luxury. The universal fit sees these easily attach to your pushchair by clicking the poppers together. The fit feels very secure with three poppers along each side and you can choose from noir, rose and parmaviolet colourways. Just shy of £90, these are the most expensive mittens we tested, but you can’t deny the premium quality and finish.

Founded in Stockholm, Elodie is a brand known for stylish everyday baby paraphernalia and durable fashion accessories and these stroller mittens are no exception. The rebel green colourway has a smart sheen to it, and is made from a water and wind resistant nylon, while the cosy faux fur interior in a contrasting fawn colour keeps hands toasty.

There are two Velcro pads on the thumb and tip of the mittens, which offer a secure fit. This does mean that you no longer have direct access to your handlebar, but thanks to the tight fit, we still felt in control when pushing. While one size does fit all, if you have larger hands you may find these come up a touch short, but needless to say you’ll be wrapped up in a coat so unlikely to leave any skin exposed to the elements.

The rebel green colourway we tested is out of stock at the moment, but we love the beige khaki colourway, too.

Wave goodbye to chilly hands with JoJo’s deluxe stroller hand muff. Coined as “deluxe”, we have to agree that by adding this accessory you have yourself a pushchair promotion. Simple to attach using the Velcro closures, unlike many of the “muff” designs the product wraps around the handlebar rather than the covering over the top, in turn this meant we felt the need to grip a bit harder than usual – nevertheless, it felt secure.

There are two poppers in the middle to mimic the snug “glove-like” feel, and we must mention how handy the integrated pocket with rubber headphone port is, for stashing a phone or keys. We were also delighted with how deep this hand muff feels, meaning no exposed wrists either.

As the cheapest of all we tested, we were pleased that quality isn’t compromised and it looks sleek attached to the pushchair.

Popular Norwegian brand Stokke and its oh-so-stylish stroller mittens have been adorning pushchairs for the best part of a decade, making them rather iconic. For those not owning a Stokke pushchair, fear not, as the design should fit most single handlebar models, as you simply attach them using the Velcro at the tip of the mittens for a secure fit which covers, rather than wraps, around the handlebar.

With genuine fluffy sheepskin cuffs, and padded premium water repellent exterior, made from PFC-free textiles, these mittens are both elegant and adventurous but most importantly, cosy. Sadly, it’s worth noting that the sheepskin only features on the cuffs, however the fleece lining will keep the chill off and is soft on the skin.

A compact option, much like the popular Babyzen yoyo pushchair (£370, Babyzen.com), the brand’s mittens will keep hands toasty while out on winter walks. Simple in design with a white cuff and contrasting black exterior, these mittens boast an irresistibly soft teddy bear style lining with a double layer of padding for ultimate comfort. With a water-repellent finish, you’ll be kept dry if the weather turns, and we were pleased to hear these can be machine-washed at 30C.

Again, you don’t need to be a Babyzen owner, as these attach using two discreet Velcro patches. Wrapping around the handlebar, you’ll still have full access but all the while keeping your hands super snug. And once the weather heats up, simply pop these back in the handy travel bag provided, which can attach to the handlebar too.

Designed to co-ordinate with Mama’s & Papas ocarro Everest pushchair (£899, Mamasandpapas.com), other than the direct colour match, there’s no reason these mitts won’t look just as good on most pushchairs and we love how unisex the design is, with its rugged colouring.

You attach each mitt using the single zip; this process wasn’t as straightforward as some of the Velcro alternatives, but it wasn’t arduous, and you’re still given access to your handlebar. And once they’re on there’s no denying the instant appeal to chuck your hands in them, boasting 100 per cent super-soft sheepskin lining.

The shaggy lining can be seen peeping through at the handlebar connection, and beautifully presented at the top of the mitts when using the subtle magnetic patches to fold over. However, it is worth mentioning that the sheepskin doesn’t cover the entire lining – roughly 70 per cent – but we still found these wonderfully toasty.

If your hands are on the larger side, you may find that by folding the top of the mitt over you can feel a little exposed, therefore we would appreciate a little extra length. Similarly, in our opinion, the bottom of the gloves could warrant a little extra fabric. Having said that, we simply can’t deny the gorgeousness of these luxury mitts.
