It works very well. We use it with a bunting bag from ll bean knittylady on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1279471 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:04:53 +0000 knittylady 1279471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So relieved to hear these responses! I was worried about going stir crazy. We'll just bundle up and be smart about wind factors!

I use it on my UB G-Luxe and BOB Revoltuion and it keeps the wind out so well that she's warm without even having to wear a snow suit in freezing temps. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Manito-Elegance-Stroller-Weather-Shield/dp/B007IVP01S" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Manito-Elegance-Stroller-Weather-Shield/dp/B007IVP01S</a> Foodnerd81 on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1279276 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:21:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1279276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: Hmm... maybe I'll try it this weekend. It's so convenient to put her in the car seat inside then just pop it into the stroller (2 flights of stairs between here and the garage). But she is getting heavy anyway. hilsy85 on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1279265 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:17:31 +0000 hilsy85 1279265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Foodnerd81: yup the ub rain shield for the toddler seat. She's probably old enough to start using it! Esp if you recline her at an angle and she's all layered up.

The rain shield one? We've been using the car seat in the stroller and I don't have a rain shield for it. She gets mad if she is awake and I put a blanket over the top because she can't see. Maybe I need to switch to the toddler seat since I have the rain cover for that. heartonastring on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1279187 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:55:03 +0000 heartonastring 1279187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm Canadian....it's almost never too cold! I put a fleece jacket on her in the car seat and then layer with blankets. I also put a warm hat and mittens on her. If we aren't going in the car, I put her in her snowsuit. Babies can handle cold climates just fine, so long as you dress them appropriately.

The other night it was 30 minutes to frost bite so we stayed home. It was maybe -5? But the windchill was -30 or -40...

We ran a few quick errands and she was fine. Silva on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1279181 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:54:09 +0000 Silva 1279181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We put in her in wool long johns, then fleece, and then zip her up in her down (fleece lined) stroller bunting bag, and then put the weather shield up on the Bob- and I'll take her out in anything I'm willing to go out in! We went for a run in 15 degrees this week! She stayed nice and cozy. The front pack keeps her super warm too, so I do wool + fleece and then the front pack. When she was under 4 months I would have felt differently, but she is almost 8 months now and I figure as long as I dress her appropriately and protect her from the wind she's fine The wool + fleece combo has been fantastic for us. I highly recommend investing in some a good wool layer if you live in a cold area. We only have one, but you don't have to wash it every time so its been great so far!

It was -40 last week. It's all about multi-layering, blankets and a great stroller cover. hilsy85 on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1279039 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:07:54 +0000 hilsy85 1279039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Depends on the wind chill more than the cold. If it's not really windy, I would probably take him out in that temperature--I would just either wear him and bundle him up or keep him in the stroller with the weather cover over him and put on lots of layers.

I feel selfish taking her out for no reason but we've hardly left the house this week and I'm getting stir crazy. And this is just the beginning! I figure her body is plenty warm with a fleece snowsuit thing and the bundle me in the stroller but her face is still out there.

For a walk around the neighborhood I don't go below 35ish because I don't want to go out in that. For an event or running errands I'll take her out in colder weather. edelweiss on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1278968 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 08:44:40 +0000 edelweiss 1278968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ it mostly depends on how cold *i* am--ha! LO is 11 months right now so i figure if it's too cold for me to be walking outside, it's too cold for him since he's not even walking yet (at least i'm generating body heat from movement, he's not). knittylady on "How cold is too cold to take LO out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-is-too-cold-to-take-lo-out#post-1278961 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 08:39:32 +0000 knittylady 1278961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's going to be VERY cold this weekend. Single digits. The highs will be 20 or so. When do you decide it's too cold to take LO out?
