Can Sheepskin Really Keep Your Baby Cool?

We know - it sounds a little strange at first! Sheepskin might seem like something you'd only use in the winter, but it's actually amazing for keeping babies cool in warmer weather too. Here we take a quick look at exactly how sheepskin can keep your baby cool.

The science bit (we'll keep it quick)

💧 Sheepskin naturally draws moisture away from the skin and into the fibres - goodbye sticky backs

😎 Sheepskin holds up to 30–35% of its own weight in moisture without ever feeling wet

🌬️ Wool fibres are naturally hollow and crimped, creating tiny air pockets that allow air to flow freely

🐑 The result: baby stays dry, comfortable and lovely and cool even on warm days

Four ways sheepskin keeps baby cool in the pram

The same natural material that keeps baby warm in winter actively works to cool them in summer

01

Wicks away sweat

Each fibre absorbs moisture and releases it into the air, keeping the surface next to baby's skin consistently dry. Synthetic materials trap moisture — sheepskin disperses it.

02

Promotes airflow

The crimped structure of wool fibres creates natural air pockets beneath your baby. Better airflow means less heat building up in the buggy seat.

03

Regulates temperature

Sheepskin is naturally thermostatic — the same properties that keep baby warm in winter actively work to cool them in summer. It responds to baby's body temperature rather than just insulating against it.

04

Barriers the heat

On a sunny day, a dark buggy seat in direct sunlight gets hot fast. Sheepskin acts as a natural buffer — absorbing and dispersing that heat before it reaches baby's back.

SAFE IN THE SUN

All Baa Baby sheepskin is 100% natural, medically tanned and OEKO-TEX certified - independently verified as safe for baby skin, which matters especially in summer when skin is more exposed.
