brr it's cold! : by jean

are you guys cold?  i am!  hope most of you  in the tri-state are safe and with power.

now that winter is pretty much here, we are always looking for the best way to keep miles warm whenever we are out and about.  since we are NOT in the 'burbs, it's not easy to find the best way to keep miles warm since we're not always travelling by car.  but, when we are driving, our car seat is now set up with the bundle me so we can snuggle him in there going in and out of the car.

on a regular basis, we are struggling to figure out the best way to drop him off and pick him up from daycare.  his daycare is about 15 min walk or a 7 min bus ride down the street from our place. normally, we like to put him in the bjorn and get on the bus if we see one coming.  when we have extra time, we take him in the stroller, but we prefer to hop on the bus to get home quickly in order to feed, clean, and do all of that other good stuff.

since it's been getting cold, we've been trying to bundle him up and cover him under our jackets while wearing the bjorn.  we realized quickly that it didn't seem to work so well.  his stroller, on the other hand, is completely decked out and ready for any storm coming our way.  we recently purchased the bugaboo high performance footmuff which was a lot more than i wanted to pay (and much more than the regular footmuff) but figured it would be worth it since we are always strolling around the neighborhood.

so for the bjorn, i am looking into this cover.  i know miles will only need it for this season since we won't be using the carrier with him for too much longer, but has anyone used it?  is it worth getting or are there better solutions out there?
