Raincover steaming up!

Gee_G

Ok this is probably going to sound a bit daft, but is there any way I can stop the raincover on the buggy steaming up? My little man is extremely nosey,loves looking around in the buggy and then it gets so steamed up, I can even see in! Or does anyone know of a different rain cover with good ventilation for baby elegance neyo?

You could cut a few more holes in it at the sides? I have the same issue, when it happens I just stop somewhere and lift it up for a few seconds. But I don't think you're meant to walk around with the cover, it's only a temporary shield on your way home, not designed for long walks. It's fine in most countries but it's a problem here!

Yeah, I might try putting a few more holes actually. Jesus if I couldn't walk with it down, I'd never get out of the house these days with all the rain!

Maybe use a hole punch to do it rather than cutting it with a knife or scissors. That's what I did, and it ripped afterwards.

Tbh, it didn't make a whole lot of difference. The hubbie suggested some anti-fog spray, like for cars. But chemicals near a baby put me off.

If you polish the inside with a tiny bit of washing up liquid ,it wont steam up.

I have this, brilliant.

I got it on offer in tesco last year. think it was around €10, fits all my buggys.

If you try halfords or similar you can get an antifog mist that you spray onto the raincover, will stop it misting up.. U can also use it on bathroom mirrors etc.

Ooh, that looks great. I wonder does it fit a Phil & Teds. My raincover takes up all of the shopping basket:mad:

Scuba divers use fairy liquid on their masks so can't see why that idea wouldn't work!

Yes it does, but I've never tried it with the second seat. Its a tight fit but seat and child are covered. I mostly used it on a Mothercare Urban Detour.
