Walking in hot weather with pram

*answers regarding carry cot only* Hi ladies, might seem like a silly question but how are you all getting around in hot weather? Need to pop out with baby later and wondering what to dress her in to keep her protected from UV rays and also how to have the pram e.g blanket or no blanket and should I take off the carrycot apron?

I moved my little boy into the stroller part of the pram & then put a large muslin of the waist bar to protect his legs from the sun. I don’t put it directly on him as think it’s too hot, but over the bar seems to do the trick. Allows airflow x

@Morgan sounds like a good idea. Glad that works for you. My little girl is too small for the stroller attachment and it doesn’t recline back x

Ahh that’s a shame, not much help then sorry!x

I have my girl in a romper, no blanket and the cosy toes bit for pram. I also git one of these to protect her from the sun x Universal Buggy Pram Sunshade, Hantoc Pram Baby Sun Shade Sun Cover with Viewing Window for Strollers Pushchairs UV Protection Water Resistant Grey https://amzn.eu/d/azirmSw

Which brand pram do you have?

Def take the apron off. Just put her in long sleeved top and leggings. I wouldn't put a blanket or anything over as you want air to circulate ideally. All you can do really. Don't forget babies do live in hot countries. Not to say don't be careful but they are a bit more robust than we give them credit for 💛

@Bunmi I have the egg

@Harriet thank you and you are completely right! My HV said the same thing when I was asking for advice on how to keep baby safe in hot weather. She said babies can actually cope with hot weather better than us ☺️

I put my daughter in a romper and then I used our snooze-shade and a mini pram fan.

@sarah pretty please can you share the pram fan you have??

The egg carry cot has vents so it should help with air circulation. Id just leave the apron off and cover her up in light clothes. Or less clothes and a muslin/light cover over the top but not on if thay makes sense? The hood has sun protection... I have the parasol for the pram but you're constantly adjusting it when you change direction.... Good luck. Its a total palaver 😄🙈

But yes, definitely take off the apron or it will be an oven of dry heat. And no dry muslin either ^^^

@Sarah thanks lovely! ☺️

My LO is in a romper, we have a pram fan and a snooze shade which is amazing keeps the sun away I do sometime use a Muslin cloth to cover any parts that are still in the sun if needed
