Lights or High Visibility Gear for pushchair

Does anyone have any lights or high visibility gear that they recommend for walking with the pushchair in the dark? We walk to and from nursery (1.5 miles) and with the time change it's now a much darker walk. One of the main roads is quite dark with very little street light but it has a lot of traffic. Both the pushchair and my winter coat are black as night, so I'm concerned that we can't see or be seen. I was thinking of looking at some bike lights.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

You can get adhesive reflective tape. I've seen buggies with it wound round the supporting parts of the frame. Like this

Thanks for the suggestions. I've ordered the bug lights and reflective tape, so hopefully problem solved with that combo.

I wear a hi vis jacket, have reflective strips on the front of the pram & have a torch which I can strap to the front of it too.

I was going to suggest buglights and Wagalum reflector (or reflective tape) but see above that someone has also recommended them.

Also you can look at the pram cover by Askalitt www.clasohlson.com/uk/Pr349078000/Pr349078000

We bought wrist bands from the high street shop RED which are motion activated. I plan to wear some and hang some from the pushchair.

Weve got some frogs which attach to various bits of the buggy and I wear a high viz vest. Cheap as chips!

Hi 😊 I’m new to mumsnet and have just seen the thread about being seen in the dark. (It’s a very old thread I know!)
I have just designed and are selling high visibility fluorescent universal pushchair rain covers!
Very easy to use just throw over your pushchair, fastens with velcro and lights up in the dark similar to the high vis vests 😊
I have them on gumtree so if you are interested please check them out. Would be lovely to hear from other mums!

If people are still looking for lights for prams, there are ones called SeeNBSafe Buggy Lights that are like fairylights that attach to your pram with magnetic ties, and they're awesome. Not that expensive and good for the school run or buggy running. They've got a website but they're on Etsy, eBay and Amazon too.
