I have been looking everywhere online for a rain cover to use with my Graco side-by-side double stroller. We used a rain poncho last time but the kids couldn't see through it and things still got soaked! The cheapest one I have found was the Kiddoptumas or something like that for around $40. I need to get it by Friday morning!!! That is when we leave! Help me find one please!! Thanks!!!

I got one there, at the one at Northwest Plaza in St. Louis, it was about $15, I think. There is also a BD at the old factory outlet mall in Wentzville. There are two in KC, but I'm not sure where they are. The webpage at www.bcfdirect.com has store locations. I would make sure you have the stroller with you when you buy; sizes vary, and BCF doesn't do refunds, just store credits.

A do-it-yourself solution might be a clear shower curtain liner, trimmed so that it doesn't drag, attached with clothespins or other clips. Be careful to drape it in a way that air can circulate under it!

I made my own. Went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and got a big piece of clear vinal (about 4 dollars) and a roll of duct tape. Just keep the vinal folded up in the stoller basket and when it rains whip it out and duct tape the sucker on to the handles. Worked like a charm and DS loved it! He was snug and dry and could still see everything. I got a lot of envious looks from parents pushing around sopping wet crying children.

Thanks for the ideas. As long as I don't have to sew it and the kids can see out it sounds good to me! We leave in just a little over an hour.......I gotta get BUSY!!!! THANKS for the help!
