Rainy Days







Tess kindly demonstrates the difficulties of her Phil & Ted’s rain cover. She unpacks the rain shield which is normally stored underneath the seat, unfolds it and fits it over the stroller.



















Note how Tess crouches down in order to get the cover on snugly. This task requires her full attention and necessitates the removal of her backpack from the backseat so she can easily access her belongings. Tess comments that a major inconvenience with the rain cover is that once it is on she cannot physically access her children.



















To remove, she has to stop the stroller, take off the cover and fold it wet to be stored once again in the bottom compartment.













Design Solution: Roll-up Rain Cover
This built-in rain cover eliminates inconvenience in a downpour. It works just like a window shade, simply pull on tabs to move the rain shield up or down.
