Does anyone have any ideas of the best way to fix the shade cover for my mountain buggy? there are 2 elastic loops on the bottom that you hook around little pegs by the foot plate but the elastic has stretched really badly so I have to wrap it round the peg which is a PITA. I had thought of maybe using a long piece of Velcro to join either side?

Can you just sew on replacement elastic?

I agree with Clover, replacing the elastic would be easier than sewing the velcro. I really need to do the same with mine but it stays on most of the time even with the stretched elastic.

new elastic would be way easier than velcro as it would be very thin velcro to go over the pegs and the velcro would be too fiddly to do up

Mine has the exact same problem. I just tied knots in the elastic so it fits how its meant to now. Far too lazy here, but I really should fix it properly with new elastic

By putting the velcro on I meant that it would join up in the middle instead of hooking around the pegs, but I suppose the elastic does work so I'll just do that in the meantime. DS however LOVES kicking his feet out at the bottom and stretching it, I get some pretty funny looks when he actually has his feet sticking out the bottom of the flap when we are walking down the road lol.

Thanks ladies
