FAQs

Is the sheepskin treated or dyed?

The sheepskin is 100% natural Merino sheepskin. While the Elephant color has a specific aesthetic, the material itself is processed to be hypoallergenic and safe for babies. Variations in color and markings are natural characteristics of untreated sheepskin.

Can this snuggler be used in a car seat?

Yes, the snuggler is designed with pre-cut holes for 3 and 5-point harnesses, making it suitable and safe for use in car seats, as well as prams, Moses baskets, and bouncers.

How do I clean the sheepskin snuggler?

It is best to spot clean minor spills. For a more thorough clean, hand wash in cool water with a dedicated wool detergent and dry flat away from heat. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

Will the snuggler be too hot for summer use?

Merino sheepskin is naturally thermostatic, meaning it helps regulate temperature. It wicks away moisture in warm conditions and provides insulation in cool conditions, making it suitable for year-round use.

Are there any safety concerns with using a sheepskin in a car seat?

No, provided the harness straps are correctly threaded through the pre-cut holes and the harness remains snug against the baby's body, it is safe. Ensure no bulky layers interfere with the harness fit.

What does 'handcrafted' and 'slight variations may occur' mean for my product?

This means each snuggler is made by hand, and because it uses natural sheepskin, the exact color, texture, markings, and pile can vary from one piece to another. This is part of the product's unique charm and character.

What are the dimensions of the snuggler?

The dimensions are approximately Length: 68 cm, Width: 44 cm.

Is the product REACH certified?

Yes, the product is REACH certified, indicating compliance with European regulations for chemical safety.

Troubleshooting

Uneven pile or matting

Gently brush the affected area with a specialized sheepskin brush to restore the wool's loft.

Minor stains or marks

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild wool-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Material feels stiff after drying

Ensure you are using a specialized sheepskin detergent and drying naturally away from heat. Gentle brushing can help soften the wool.

Harness straps don't align perfectly with holes

While designed for universal fit, minor adjustments may be needed based on the specific stroller or car seat model. Ensure straps are threaded correctly through the available holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This snuggler is designed to fit all models of prams, Moses baskets, and cradles. The strategically placed strap holes accommodate both 3 and 5-point harness systems, ensuring broad compatibility with most baby transport and sleep solutions.

Care: To maintain the quality of the 100% Merino sheepskin:

  1. Spot Clean: For minor spills, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking.
  2. Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a specialized wool or sheepskin detergent. Do not wring.
  3. Drying: Reshape and dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight. Never tumble dry.
  4. Brushing: Periodically brush the wool with a specialized sheepskin brush to maintain its loft and softness.
  5. Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, professional sheepskin cleaning is recommended.

Always refer to the care label for specific instructions. Due to its natural dirt-repellent properties, frequent washing is often unnecessary.
