Do I need. . . . .

.................. a rain cover for my capsule? I'm going to get a Cabriofix when we come to the UK because it goes on my pram. I've noticed lots of raincovers for sale to fit on them. Not something I've ever had / used but never had a clip on capsule for the pram either nor been in the UK in winter with a new born!!!

Do you / did you have one? Did you use it? Should I bother? I'm trying to get everything I need before mat leave which is now very close!!

i did, purely cos of having a winter baby with Naimh. It meant I cold put it on when we got her ot of the car in the seat,so she didn't wake up. I didn't use the baby seat on the pram cos I hate babies in them all day as it is bad for their spine, Naimh did have a massive hard bodied carry cot on her pram though so we either used that or the coach built silver cross pram.

but raincover for infat car seat/ capsule for a winter baby in the uk? would say yes. x

Yep we didn't have one last time and found it really frustrating so made sure we had one this time x

Never had one here with any of my 4 haven't missed it so I wouldn't bother personally.

Depends.... Am I right in thinking that whilst you re here it will be used as a car seat and pram? If so then it is pretty handy to keep the wind out if nothing else. Obviously handy to keep the rain out too
If just lifting to and from the car then I wouldn't bother, you can always pop a blanket over the handle for a quick dash

I like raincovers in the winter to keep the wind out. I don't use it for short in the car out the car moments. I like the cabriofix footmuf too .

Nahhh, you will be slinging too much to bother I bet xxx leon is 20 months old and never ever needed a rain cover xxd

Hmmmm very mixed replies!

Yep absolutely, wouldn't use if for long outings but so handy with a sleeping baby just if nipping out to the shops quickly etc.

I'll have the Peanut bassinet as well if we are out with the pram for longer trips and I have a raincover which I think works on the seat and the bassinet (actually I should check that!)

I like the cabriofix footmuf too

Oh my @mamavan2 she looks so snug and cosy in that

See I'm really planning on as much as I can (presuming we both love it) so this is a really good point.

I think I may just leave it and see how it goes when we are there, I'm sure they are quick enough to order! At least I have an idea of if the rest of you do or not

I ve only used a rain cover for the school run (currently have to drive) when Bob was asleep and didn t want him to wake up
I used the rain cover from my buggy though which wasn t meant to fit or anything but did the job
So if you have any kind of cover I wouldn't bother getting another.
