Thoughts on Insect Nets

What are everyone’s thoughts on Insect nets on prams? I never see anyone with them anymore, I have one(that I bought out of a pram shop) and my mum is always on at me to use it…

Errr, are you in the uk? If so then no... however if you go to a theme park type attraction then it could be handy for when wasps gather

Yes I’m in the UK… why no? Generally curious to know

I didn't know they were a thing. Insects love me so I must attract them away from my kids.

We have one on our bed at home because we live in woodland and I sleep with the French doors and all the windows open. It’s made a huge difference to the amount of insect bites we get (basically none now whereas Dh would previously get bitten most nights (he is also my insect repellent since his blood seems to be tastier than mine)

I had one as I used to let the DC nap in their pram in the garden. We have a pond and some biting gnat type flies often hang around.

It's only my opinions of course but I would say no because with the amount and type of bugs we have here it's surely not necessary... I've had 3 kids and never had an insect issue.
