What do you do in the rain??
We have just sold our second car so I walk to town with DS in the carrier if I need to get out of the house. We have an appointment this morning and its a miserable wet day and I suddenly thought, how will I keep DS dry and warm. -------------

I have a friend who has one of these.... http://www.suseskinder.com/ - rain poncho but I am not really sure where she got it from (she is in the UK...so somewhere over there I guess!) Its fantastic and she wears it in the snow, rain etc!

I was just wondering that too, it's the last day I have the hire manduca and wanted to take DD for a walk but it's a yucky day here too. Will try the umbrella, if I can find it! ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Ok so I found a coat that was big enough and had it over us both and an umbrella, it did the trick nicely, DS fell asleep on the walk home
Thanks ladies -------------

I have a swanndri buggy blanket that goes round the manduca nicely and tucks in under the shoulder straps. It's a really good windbreaker. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
