Hollie's plunket appt is at 10am, it's bucketing with rain and a wee bit chilly, and I don't drive. Do I:
A) Change the appointment or B) Harden up? How watertight are pushchair covers? It looks okay, I've stuck the foot muffler bit on as well for some extra warmth, but are people going to think I'm a terrible mother for having her out in the rain? Or are they snug and cozy and is it the norm? MASSIVE case of the guilts right now. -------------  http://lilypie.com"> |

With a rain cover and a blanket or foot muff, she should be warm as toast - don't over dress her as rain covers do a really good job of keeping body heat in. Nobody will blink at having her out in the rain, she'll be fine. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Rain covers a really water tight and keep them nice and snuggly, if you stick your head in there while shes in there you will feel how warm it is lol

Sounded like me this morning trying to figure out how to get Keira to kindy. In the end I gave up on the stroller and just had maddi in a sling so I could use the umbrella - lucky kindy isn't too far -------------
