I think those rain covers for the pram are even more scary, as plastic doesn’t let any oxygine through.

Scary to think how hot it gets

In cold weather I had a nasty experience, We got caught in a nasty thunderstorm and heavy rain taking the older child to school. The toddler got his feet and legs soaked and I got soaked to the skin and I then covered the front of the stroller to prevent the little one getting any wetter. By the time we reached our destination he had not warmed up at all. In fact he was blue.

I’ve always felt the pram is too hot when covering bubs up so have gotten into the habit of opening the back flap for circulation.

We are in a heat wave and babies are very vulnerable.

Yep, as much as I prefer baby wearing for some things, it’s too hot to do that now, even with minimal thin clothing. So I use the pram with back open to allow air flow and a sun mesh cover for the front. It works great, only problem is my babies tend to grab it and try to eat it, exposing their lower legs in the process. I think it’s scary how many people I see using blankets and towels though

I never covered my babies pram in summer as I always thought it got too hot under there. I found sling wearing uncomfortable and too hot during summer too.

A bit scary, but at least there are simple solutions.

This is scary but it is also difficult not to be out between those times if you ever want to leave the house.
