rain covers for rental strollers

I posted this on the family board too...

We'll be in WDW in August with dd7months and ds3. We plan to bring DD's stroller along with the rain cover just in case. We're renting a stroller for DS, probably a double for his own comfort. What do people usually do with rentals in rainy weather. I've found a site that I can get a rain cover for it (I think the double side by side stroller cover should fit a WDW stroller right?) but I'm wondering if we'll need it. DS will be in a rain jacket if its pouring all day but I'm worried about him sitting in one big puddle of rain in the stroller. Part of me thinks the cover would be great but will a 3 yr old really stay in that stroller with a cover on it?

What do you think? Should I get it? Its $25 so not too much but I'd hate to get it if its useless....

When my kids were little and we took a stroller I had read on one of these boards to buy a clear shower curtain at the dollar store or Walmart and cover it will that. It worked great. In fact I would just tie it to the stroller in the morning and it would be ready to cover the stroller with when we went into an attraction in case it would rain. It was very easy to tie around the bottom to hold it down in case it got windy while we were gone.

It only got $2 and it worked great. I used it for more than one trip too!!

Have a great trip. We leave in 6 days!!
