How to Attach the Colugo Cozy Mittens to Your Compact Stroller+

Quick Answer

To attach the Colugo Cozy Mittens, slide the mitten opening over the stroller handlebar, align the straps with the handlebar grips, and secure them snugly—but not too tight—so you can still reach the brake and fold levers. Check that the mittens don't obstruct the folding mechanism before you head out.

When the temperature drops, your hands are the first to feel it on a morning stroll. The Colugo Cozy Mittens are designed to keep your hands warm while you push the Compact Stroller+, but getting them attached correctly makes all the difference. If they're too loose, they slide around; too tight, and you might struggle to fold the stroller or reach the brake.

This guide walks you through the attachment process step by step, with common mistakes to avoid along the way. Whether you're a new parent or just getting ready for your first cold season, these tips will have you out the door faster—and warmer.

Before You Start: What You Need

Before you begin, make sure you have the Colugo Cozy Mittens and your Compact Stroller+ within reach. Find a flat, stable surface to work on—ideally indoors where it's warm. Check that the handlebar is clean and dry; any moisture or dirt can make the mittens slip.

Take a moment to locate the handlebar grips and the folding release levers. You'll want to keep these accessible after the mittens are on, so note their position as you work. If you have the stroller folded, unfold it first to give yourself room to maneuver.

• Ensure the stroller is fully unfolded and the wheels are locked before attaching the mittens.

Step-by-Step Attachment

Start by sliding the opening of one mitten over the end of the handlebar. The mittens are designed to fit snugly, so you may need to wiggle them a bit. Pull the mitten up until it covers the grip area, leaving the very ends of the handlebar exposed if that's how they're designed.

Next, locate the straps on the mitten. Wrap them around the handlebar and secure them with the buckle or Velcro, depending on your model. Pull the straps snug but not so tight that you compress the foam grip. You should still be able to move your hand freely inside the mitten.

Repeat the process on the other side. Once both mittens are on, test the folding mechanism: try to fold the stroller as you normally would. If the mittens get in the way, adjust them slightly—sometimes a small rotation is all it takes.

• Check that the brake pedal is still easy to reach and press with the mittens attached.

Attachment Steps at a Glance

1. Position the mitten: Slide the mitten opening over the handlebar end, covering the grip area. Make sure the mitten is oriented so the opening faces you. Checkpoint: The mitten should sit evenly on the handlebar, not twisted or bunched.
2. Secure the straps: Wrap the straps around the handlebar and fasten them. Pull snugly, but leave enough room to move your hand inside. Checkpoint: You should be able to wiggle your fingers without the mitten sliding.
3. Test the controls: Try folding the stroller and pressing the brake. Adjust the mittens if they block any levers or the brake pedal. Checkpoint: If the fold is smooth and the brake is easy to press, you're good to go.
