I don't have a rain cover for my stroller and I really don't think I need one (just an extra expense) but I get so bummed when I get ready for a run and it starts raining. I usually don't end up running on rainy days (which is often in Seattle).
Do you use a rain cover? Or do you walk/run in the rain with LO's?

I haven't 
If it was just a light mist I'd be tempted but ultimately I'd probably end up not going. Boo.

I do! Well, in light rain, not down pours. Seattle babies need to get used to it, I figure.

We have a rain cover so I've gone out even in heavy rain. We walk in all sorts of weather!

I've used my rain cover in super heavy rain. I love running in the rain, but it doesn't happen much here in super dry central California.

@meganmp: haha! I know...I went running today and it started sprinkling. I felt bad that they had to be stuck in the rain so I cut my run short. My neighbor runs with her baby in torrential down pours but they have a cover on their stroller. I don't know how I feel about plastic covering them though! I'm on the fence about it.

Not with the stroller because I don't want to cover them in plastic either. But we'll go out for walks with our umbrellas. My 3 year old loooooooves using her umbrella!

If I wanted to walk and the weather didn't agree., I'd drive to the mall 2 mins away and just walk around there. I did that alot in the winter

@Andrea: oh yes, umbrella's + puddle jumping? B gets so excited.
I'm training for a half marathon so I'm trying to figure out how I can run with them. Maybe I'll join a gym.

Girlfriend, if we stayed inside any time it rained here in the northwest, we'd be inside forever.

Depends on the temperature. If it's warm outside, yes (but not in a downpour, I usually wait those out). If it's chilly out, no.

@HLK208: You're training for a half??? I'm going to live vicariously through you!! Exciting!

Curious to see more answers. I'm in Vancouver, so we pretty much get rained on constantly too. My plan was just to get a rain cover and make the best of it.

@Running Elley: lol! Yes! It's my second but I haven't ran over 5 miles in ages. I signed up for a bunch of 5 and 10k's this summer so I really need to start running for longer stretches.

@HLK208: Good idea! I did that when I was training for halfs too because it forced me to run longer and stay consistent 
When is the half that you're training for?

@HLK208: yup! She really wants rain boots and a jacket, but I haven't sprung for those yet. Good luck with your training!

We don't. I'm not a fan of rain. LO is though, she tries to drink it
