The Best Stroller Mittens for Warmth and Comfort
A stroller mitten is a small cover that fits over the handles of your stroller to prevent your kid’s hands from slipping through and their fingers from getting caught. Usually stroller mittens are made of thin polyester, and they come in packs of two or more—one for each handle. We tested 31 stroller mittens and chose these as the best because they’re made from a more durable, machine-washable fabric. Plus they have a wider opening at the end to accommodate a wider variety of stroller handles.

The Approach We Took for Testing
We put the mittens through a grueling week of testing and everyday use, including several attempts to remove them from a squirming baby.
We checked the fit and comfort. We checked how easy they were to put on and take off. We checked how much fabric there was and how much seeped between the fingers or caught under the nails.
We asked our friends with babies to try on different mittens to see what they thought of them.
We checked how easy the Velcro was to fasten and unfasten, and how secure it was once it was fastened.
We looked for any signs of wear and tear, such as fraying threads, unraveling seams, or snagged fabric.
We also considered comfort and warmth based on the tactile feel of the fabrics.
JJ Cole Bundle Me Bundlemitts
Our Verdict
The stroller mittens from JJ Cole (a baby gear brand) are warm and cozy, and they’re easy to snap onto a stroller. The plush-lined gloves are thin enough to allow you to feel and operate your phone without taking them off. They’re weather-resistant, too.
The generous cut makes it easy to put them on and take them off, and the exterior is water-resistant. In our testing, we found them to be the warmest option we tried, and our panel of parents and experts loved them, too.
Our runner-up pick, the Strolly from Strolly Gear, is also a great option if you want a simpler design with no zipper to contend with. The fabric is thick enough to keep hands warm in winter, and it’s machine-washable, too.
Berocia Black Waterproof Women Men Winter Stroller Gloves
Our Verdict
Before buying a pair of stroller mittens, you should consider three factors: the thickness of the material, the width of the strap, and the width of the opening.
The Berocia Black Waterproof Women Men Winter Stroller Gloves Hand Muff Warmers Extra Thick Anti-Freeze Mittens, which we tested for this guide, were the thickest mittens we tried, and the entire body of the glove is lined with a soft fleece.
They have a generous strap, and the opening is wide enough that it won’t dig into the wrist when you’re trying to maneuver a stroller.
The attached velcro is also a wide strip, so it stays securely in place, unlike the small squares on other mittens, which tend to come loose.
The Berocia mittens offer the best combination of warmth, comfort, and security. However, they run small and are less versatile than other mittens in this category.
7AM Enfant Kids Scooter Gloves
Our Verdict
If you want warm mittens that you can easily attach to the handlebars of your favorite scooter or balancing bike, the 7AM Enfant Kids Scooter Gloves are for you.
They’re big enough to fit over your hands and sleeves, and the hook-and-loop fasteners secure them firmly to the bars. The outer shell is water repellent, and the premium insulation and soft plush lining will keep your little one’s hands warm and comfortable for hours.
The 7AM Enfant Kids Scooter Gloves have a temperature rating of -4°F/-20°C, and the size of the gloves (L: 4.3”, W: 6.3”, D: 2.8”) is average. They’re machine washable and dry quickly in a low-heat dryer.
Stokke Stroller Mittens
Our Verdict
The Stokke Stroller Mittens are stylish, functional, and easy to use, thanks to the elastic bands that allow them to slip on and off your hand with ease.
The soft fleece lining feels great against your skin, and the genuine sheepskin rims will keep your hands toasty warm on the coldest winter days.
The Stokke Stroller Mittens are made of the same PFC-free, water-repellent fabrics as the Stokke Stroller Winter Kit and offer even more protection against the elements.
But what we love most about these mittens is that they attach to your stroller handle with an elastic band, so they’ll never get lost during your outings together.
They fit all Stokke strollers and most other brands’ strollers, too. Last, but not least, the Stokke Stroller Mittens are part of the company’s mission to create products that challenge the ordinary and foster healthy development in children.
liuliuby CozyMitts – Insulated Stroller Gloves
Our Verdict
The CozyMitts, like the CozyMuff, will keep your hands warm, dry, and cozy while you stroll around in cold weather.
It attaches securely—and quickly—to any stroller via a side zipper attachment system, and it’s the only model we tested that has both a windproof outer layer and a warm, cozy inner layer.
The CozyMitts fit all hands and can be layered over any winter coat or thick mittens. They’re machine-washable, too.
Note: While most strollers have open crossbars, you may want to consider getting the CozyMitts for any stroller that has closed bars, such as a double stroller. This is because the closed bars can get pretty cold in the winter and the CozyMitts are the only mittens that securely attach to closed bars.
Considerations Before Making a Purchase
Mittens may seem like a silly thing to buy, but they’re actually incredibly useful. They’ll protect your baby’s hands on cold days and prevent them from scratching themselves or their surroundings.
We wanted our mittens to be able to do all of the following:
Be Secure And Stay On
A good pair of mittens will stay on your baby’s hands, despite how much they wriggle or try to pull them off. They shouldn’t fall off so easily that your baby might accidentally lose one (or both), but they also shouldn’t be so tight that they cut off circulation.
Be Breathable
Mittens can get hot in the summer if you don’t choose a lightweight material. If possible, look for a pair with mesh panels on the back of the hand, which will allow some extra airflow.
The inside of the mitten should also be made from a breathable material.
