As with the Bob Revolution, this weather shield is a great item. I've gone out with it in a complete downpour and my child has been bone dry. My only issue with it is that it is not designed properly for the early stages when your child needs to be reclined. At 2-3 months old, my child did not have enough neck support for him to be upright in the stroller, so I unclipped the back portion of the carriage so he was more prone. This exposed him to the rain since the back yellow flap of the shield is not designed to go that far. I resolved the issue during this period by rigging the yellow flap down over the back of the reclined part of the carriage. Reaching into the back of the stroller from the front, I used three large spring loaded office paper clips (the black kind with silver handles) to hold the yellow flap to the back of the carriage. With this fix, just ensure that the vents are still working at the back. This fix worked for me but I wish Bob had a way of making the shield work for this position as well.

Just this morning I had another opportunity to use the BOB Weather Shield. As the dog and I traipsed through the rain getting soggy, baby stayed warm and dry under the shield. The first time I put the shield on I thought it was complicated, but now I'm a pro and it doesn't take but a few seconds. It fits snugly around all the edges and has vents to make sure there is airflow to the passenger.

We ordered this weather shield for our BOB last fall, and we used it all winter long. It allowed us to venture out into the cold Minnesota winter knowing that our infant daughter was shielded from the wind and cold. In fact, after the first few uses I realized that I was overdressing her! This cover does an excellent job of holding in body heat. And it is super easy to use and folds up small for storage. If you own a Revolution and live in a wet or cold place, this is a must.

This weather shield has been a great accessory. It is a little cumbersome at first to put it on the stroller but after the first time it has been very easy.

The shield definitely keeps my little girl warm during the windy days with out needing to tuck a blanket around her. Also, dry during the rainy ones.

The full-body window provides me with the ability to see that she is buckled up safely at any time during the walk. It enables her to see things just about as well as when the shield is off.

The yellow color is definitely a color contrast to our navy colored stroller but it sure makes us visible to oncoming vehicles.

Construction appears to be very good. The material reminds me of a very duty plastic tarp (not like the cheap ones you find at the big discount retailers). I would imagine this would be repairable with a inner tube patch kit or clear adhesive caulk for the window if it ever needed it.

I would definitely purchase this again.

I purchased this cover to shield the wind while I jog, and so far I've used it 3-4 times...I don't even have to put mittens on my baby because he is WARM inside the shield. I am amazed how well this shield have worked. I recommend this to people who want to cover your baby through rain/wind/cold weather. Definatey worth your money.

I live in Portland, Oregon and love to run year round! It not only keeps my baby dry, but it blocks the wind and keeps her warm. Not to mention, it's like having an umbrella with you...now that I have the rain shield, it hasn't rained on me yet!

I love this weather shield and so does my 10 month old daughter! I don't mind the color either - at least you know drivers can see you!

Very nice product. Sturdy and durable. Perfect for baby to stroll in inclement weather.

I am very late in this review. I bought mine about 2 years ago with my first child and this is just hands down a necessity for all runners. It was a little tricky to get on the first few times, but after that it's fine. This product means you can go for a run when it is raining a little or pretty cold out or in case it might rain you can stick it in the basket underneath and whip it out at a minutes notice. I have a second child now and will definitely be buying the double version for my Duallie Bob Revolution.

We got the weather shield because rain or shine, hot or cold our dog needs to go for walks. The weather shield protects our son from the rain, snow, cold, and strong winds. It is also very easy to attach to the stroller. We will be using it all winter long.
