We previously mentioned some of the many advantages of having a stroller rain cover while touring outside. It is worth noting that there are some disadvantages of stroller rain covers too. So, if you do happen to turn to this approach, be extra careful as any over a pram can be dangerous. This is one of the things that makes stroller rain covers unsuitable.
Referring to different researchers, if you drape something over the top of the stroller like rain covers or thin blankets, they can create a furnace-like heat inside the stroller. This reduces air circulation. We all know that young children are more sensitive to heat than older children or adults. Their body temperature can rise three-to-five times faster. As a result, the heat inside the stroller puts them at greater risk of heat stroke and other health risks such as SIDS as their body temperature reaches dangerous levels much sooner.
But what can you do to keep your baby safe? First, try to always monitor the temperature inside. Make sure prying little hands aren’t reaching in without you noticing. Also, try to consider giving it a quick wipe down before you take the baby out so you don’t transfer anything from the outside in. Most importantly, if you suppose your baby is having heat exhaustion, bring your baby out and get them into an air-conditioned environment. Then give him some fluids. Remember, no matter what, you can not detach the rain covers forever. All you have to do is choose the right rain covers that make sure a healthy temperature inside the stroller.
