What are your top tips for getting your lo's to school when it is tipping with rain!!!

[Yurtgirl]

We are moving soon and will be travelling further to school - its still only just under a mile but I know that dd will refuse to walk quite often!!! She has just turned 4. I also have ds who is nearly 7 and not good on a bike.

Just wandering what other people do really - especially when it is tipping it down with rain

Cars and buses are not an option for us

TIA

we get really wet
invest in some nice wellies and good waterproof jacket.
deep sighs and look forward to drying out an mumsnetting when you do get back home again.

The last time it rained I picked ds up (he was 3), and he curled himself up like a ball. I had a bin bag in my handbag (?!) so opened it out and made a large ds-cover...and legged it!

Had forgotten waterproofs. Had to wring out underwear when I got home. Not a good one for the list methinks.

My DD4 loves walking to school in the rain. Waterproofs, Wellies and a clear see-through umberella so she can see where she is going. Jumping in puddles - Fab!

Thanks for your thoughtful ideas all - Im going to visit our local fab bike shop and see what they have got.

I shall also investigate muddy puddles waterproofs as they are supposedly 100% waterproof - our current ones are not!

how about scooters?

much more fun and you can scooter home!

Promise of hot chocolate when we get home.
