10 of 10 people found the following review helpful.The more I use this shield, the more disappointed I am. I originally reviewed this item after one brief test application, during which I experienced no issues. Having used a weather shield for a single BOB stroller for two years, I wrongly assumed the design quality would be similar. However, during practical usage, I have found this to be poorly designed and of lesser quality than the older single model I own.My main issues:1. The attachment to the handlebars is not secure. This model uses two short velcro straps that secure around the handle itself. The velcro strips are only 1" square, which doesn't lead to a secure connection. These have come undone numerous times while running. The older single model has long, adjustable looping tension cord that not only didn't come loose, but it was adjustable as well.2. The velcro is connected to the end of the flap that hangs over the back of the stroller (parallel to the handle). When you connect the velcro and fully install the shield, this flap is pulled into the gap between the back of the seat and the sun shades. So, there is an opening for rain and wind to enter just above your kids heads. If the rain is heavy, the water collecting on the top of the shade can drip directly into the stroller.3. The cover is cut to fit on the duallie with the sun shades half down. Unfortunately, because each part of the sun shade is a different size, the windowed half must be folded up. This isn't ideal because, in this position, the excess shade is bunched around the heads of your passengers. It would be better if it were cut to fit with the windowed segment extended.4. Though not a difference between my singleThe rain shield should have a clear window that matches up to the window on the sun shade so that you can maintain visual contact while pushing the stroller. In the case of the duallie, you can't install it with the windows in the proper position anyway, but it is a notable exclusion.I cannot say if these issues are simply differences between the single and duallie models or if design changes were made since the '09 models, but either way this current duallie cover leaves a lot to be desired.

Even when it's raining it it easy to put them in or take them out without getting the inside of the stroller wet. Previous review stated that it is not good for use on sunny days - keep in mind that this shield was made more for rain and snow days, wind and chilly weather. I don't think I would use this shield on a sunny/warm day, as the front is not as well ventilated. There is a separate shield for sunny days.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.I was very wary about ordering this because of the negative reviews, but I am so pleased with it. I live above 7,000 feet and could not have taken my nine month old and toddler out for my half marathon training runs over the past 3 months without this! There are days where it's sunny and 50 degrees that I LOVE this because it takes away any bothersome chill from the wind. I used it the other day in light rain and it worked perfectly. You can kind of shimmy the sun shields that are on the BOB down so that it gives some sun coverage, though not as much as if the cover wasn't on it. That hasn't been a problem for my girls though. I can also pull back one side so my toddler can "feel the breeze" while my baby gets coverage (it's not perfect but it works).I love this and it has made the stroller work for us in all kinds of weather.
