 Topic: Liner in buggy
Posted: 24 October 2008 at 12:42pm |

We have a MB sleeping bag (polarfleece) that we've popped Daniel in while out and about, but it's now getting too hot for him.
I'm thinking of making a liner for the MB - does anyone have one and what's it made out of?

My mum made liners for our P&T buggy and sold them to some of my friends too. Polar fleece on one side and winciette(spelling?!!) on the other. She put one layer of stuffing (dunno what its called- you buy it off a roll at material shops), and sewed it in sections, so that she could make holes for the straps to go through at each setting.

we have a MB Urban Elite and I made a couple of covers to go over the sheepskin liner (??) that came with it. The first one I made was winciette and a layer of parka nylon to try and make it waterproof. When Jack was little and slept in the MB a bit I found that this got too hot in summer. I made a 2nd just out of cotton which was good but there were still sweat patches from his head if he slept.
I would suggest using cotton so it's not too hot

I'm keeping my eyes peeled in this thread as I'm having the same problem... We have a polar fleece sleeping bag in our Bertini Shuttle and it's getting too hot for Miss Keziah but I'd like to her to still have one for when she sleeps or if the sun is to hot for her wee legs etc...

we don't have a MB, but a similar buggy. we have the sleeping bag that came with it, but the top of that zips off totally, and you can replace the top of the bag with a mosquito netting (IYKWIM) equivalent, or leave it open.
sorry - that doesn't help you at all Fliss!

ooh, just saw on the tweedle website that they have silly billyz stroller liners on sale. Don't know if it would fit the MB, but might be worth looking at, at least for some ideas?

Hi, I made one for our farm buggy - polar fleece on one side, and I used an old cotton checked shirt for the other side (it was brand new but size XL so never worn!). We had a cheap duvet that was not very old but the cover was fluffing everywhere, so I cut a bit off that for the middle of the liner.
Worked well and only cost a little for the polar fleece!
I'm going to make one for our town buggy next, I think fleece and a nice cotton this time!
Oh and I put in a layer of parka nylon too, so it's waterproof.
So it went:
polar fleece
parka nylon
old duvet
cotton (shirt)
Hope this helps!
