Let me start by saying that I’m not a picky consumer and I’m very forgiving when it comes to the various purchases I make. I feel like I’m being forgiving on this review as well. I received my new Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller last week, and it’s absolutely amazing! I expected the same from Thule stroller accessories, but I was mistaken. I’m 45 and a married, full time working mom w/2 kids (ages 2 & 1/2 and 14 months) and I’m a committed (but not fantastic) distance runner for 17 years, hence the recent Thule purchases. If you have small babies or very young kids that don’t move around much, or kids that sleep every time they ride in a stroller, then this rain cover will probably serve you just fine. I, however, was left disappointed, and cut my run short due to how easily both of my kids were able to repeatedly loosen the cover by kicking and pulling at it. Being that this cover is “custom” made for a Thule double stroller, I expected it to line up clearly and obviously, and to attach well and tightly, but The Velcro straps that attach at the top, near the handlebar, are too small and narrow. The straps line up awkwardly, leaving less Velcro connected and making it easier for the kids to jar it loose with very little effort. The entire cover needs some kind of lightweight metal frame sewn into it to raise the cover up and keep it away from the kids so they can’t grab and kick at it (as they did), and also to keep the rain running off the cover and not puddling up in several areas (as it did). The upper, black portion of the cover (nylon or something) near the handlebar extends farther downward than the photos depict, which obstructs more of the kids’ view. They need to remove some of the upper, black fabric and put in a clear window/s, as the solid black covers up the kid viewing windows on the stroller’s canopy. The instructions are far too too basic - for instance, when installing the cover, the canopy needs to be pulled all the way forward in order to frame and lift the rain cover away from the kids and to slant it so rain runs off, as I stated lightweight metal or strong flexible plastic built/sewn into the rain cover could fix this issue. Yes, it blocked the rain and my kids stayed dry. I didn’t notice any steaming up however it was only 50 degrees at the time. The plastic window on the cover is easy to see through and is not the cheap, crinkly plastic, but the cover needs more of the clear plastic and less of the black fabric. Overall, this cover is ok. I will use it again if I have to but I will be buying a new, off brand rain cover ASAP.
