Learn the correct steps to fit a side by side raincover on a twin pushchair. Avoid common mistakes and keep both children dry with this practical guide.
Quick Answer
Start by fully opening the raincover and draping it over the top of your twin pushchair. Secure the elasticated corners around each seat unit, then check that the cover is evenly stretched and not blocking any ventilation panels.
Before You Start: Check Your Raincover and Pushchair
Make sure your side by side raincover is designed for a twin or double stroller. A single pushchair cover will be too narrow and may tear or leave gaps. For example, the Side by Side Raincover Compatible with Roma from For Your Little One is made from 250-micron PVC and built to fit side-by-side models securely. Also check that your pushchair is fully unfolded and the brakes are engaged before you begin.
Step-by-Step Fitting Guide
- Unfold and Position the Raincover: Lay the raincover flat and identify the front and back. Drape it loosely over the top of the pushchair, centering it so both seat areas are covered evenly. Common mistake: fitting it backwards. Check for any printed labels or vent markings that indicate orientation.
- Secure the Elasticated Corners: Starting with one side, pull the elasticated hem over the outer edge of the seat and hook it under the frame or around the handlebar. Repeat on the opposite side. Work from top to bottom. Checkpoint: the cover should sit snugly without pulling the fabric tight against your child's face.
- Adjust for Ventilation and Visibility: Smooth out any wrinkles and ensure the transparent panels are clear. Locate any built-in ventilation flaps and confirm they are not blocked by the hood or canopy. If your cover has side vents, leave them slightly open for airflow. Common mistake: covering the vents. Blocked airflow can cause condensation and discomfort inside the cover.
- Check the Fit Around Both Seats: Walk around the pushchair and check that the raincover is evenly stretched. There should be no loose fabric that could flap in the wind or sag onto your children. Tuck any excess material under the seat or secure it with the provided straps if available. Final check: give the cover a gentle tug. If it moves easily, re-secure the corners. A stable fit stays put even on breezy days.
