Hmmm, I have a double elite which is just awesome for any outdoors walker - it's cover is in my washing machine along with bleach and napisan ATM trying to get mould out of it - damn rain all winter - so basically that says it all, due to my walking every day to the bank/mail and exercising, I have regretted greatly not having a rain cover, or a shade cover - bub #2 REALLY hates the sun in her eyes, and as good as the tri fold hoods of BJ's are, they still get sun in their eyes. You think they'd make a sun/rain combo bub no, they make them separate to charge you a bonza.
