Child's cycle seat rain cover

[Julesh]

Can anyone know where I find a clip on rain cover to go over a rear
carrier mounted child seat (and child)

We had one in the past that waterproofed the child by clipping across
the front of the seat and fully enclosing, except for the face, the
occupant. I can't seem to find one anywhere now. The seat is a Rhode
Gear (now co-Pilot) Limo.

Thanks

not an answer to your question but I have used either a waterproof
jacket and trousers (a cheap one) with hat, or on occaision a ladybird
PVC poncho with a couple of clothespegs to gather the excess material
at the back of teh seat to achieve tight fit on the same seat. This
was surprisiongly effective

best wishes

We use an adult "pac-a-mac" thingy on our 4 year old. It was the all I
had one day when we were caught out in a heavy shower, but it works
really well

We roll up the sleeves, pull the waist band down below her knees, and
tuck the extra material of the body back in between child and seat
bucket. Cheap and cheerful, but effective. I like the sound of Jame's
poncho idea though...

I've found she can get very cold very quickly if the weather is wet,
cold or windy. I tend not to notice, being kept warm by pedaling, but
it's worth keeping in mind.
