Raincover for Baby Jogger City Mini
Bella888 · 13/07/2012 11:10
For anyone looking for a raincover for their BJCM the Red Kite universal raincover fits it well. I needed a raincover for the BJCM and refused to shell out a ridiculous sum for the original. The only thing is that the raincover doesn't completely cover the tip where the front wheel is, maybe an inch and a half exposed. I don't see it as a big problem just thought someone might be interested in the fit. The raincover from the Red Kite Travel Pack includes an additional footmuff and travel console , here's a pic of the pack www.preciouslittleone.com/product-information/33/16810/red-kite-stroller-travel-pack/?gclid=CPOf_66vlrECFccLfAodymTkdA
As an added bonus the footmuff which becomes a liner if unzipped fits the BJCM very well, just got to go underneath the footmuff to pull on the strap to close it. The travel console unfortunately doesn't fit the pushchair, the straps was a wee bit short to strap it around the bulky handles. I plan to fix this by lengthening the straps with velcro. If it works then I get 2 drink holders and 2 pockets to hold stuff in. If purchased separately these items can be very costly. I bought it from Asda for £3.75, regulary cost £5 which is still a shocking bargain. Doesn't seem like it's available online just in there stores tho. Hope this helps someone.

Forgot to add that it doesn't look like it will fit with a car seat or cot attachment just the pushchair alone when the canapoy is 2/3 opened.

I have one of these for my BJCM. Mad I know, but a lot of fun on a rainy day and it fits perfectly in the back pocket and still folds.

Tiggy, I wish they did a cover like that for the BJCS or Bee :(

It should fit the BJCS single at least.....it simply throws over the seat. I would be surprised if it didn't fit the Bee as well....it might be a bit long though on the latter? If I get chance I will have a try but I dont know when that may be.
