Hi. I'm thinking of getting a trike with child seats for the pre-school run. Does anyone use one of these?

You can get raincapes from the Trikidoo website - nice looking trike too.

I'm lusting after a Nihola which has an integrated rainhood so there's no way the kids can complain about riding in it. A bit pricey though...

Amazonian Woman I've only just seen your other post asking me some more Qs. I don't get on the internet very much so if you have any other Nihola Qs you think I can answer please don't hesitate to PM me. I think I've worked out that's what the little envelope next to the posots is for...

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
