I wonder if any of you could give me some advice. I have recently bought a 1970s Silver Cross Grovesnor pram. It came without an apron. I can't decide whether  to buy an apron for it, or to buy a raincover instead. If I bought an apron would I need a raincover as well? How waterproof is the apron? (I live in a very rainy place!). Would I be better off just buying a raincover to start with as it would be much cheaper?


Does anyone know a good place to buy the apron? I have seen they are £50 brand new, but am happy to buy second hand.


Many thanks in advance for your comments.


With best wishes, Nicole.

Hi there i have a grosvenor(for sale atm..shameless plug there!)and to be honest if you are using the pram for a baby then an apron is a good idea especially in this chilly weather as it adds extra protection from the chill and traps it underneath with the blankets.with the front bib up also no rain should get in.where do you live where it is so rainy if you dont mind me asking?

So is the apron material waterproof or will I also need a raincover as well?

The  actual  outer  fabric  on  the  hoods  and aprons   are   waterproof   too,   so   there is no need  for a  waterproof  cover  if  you have  an  apron  and  I  would  say  personally  that   they are  a must  if  you   want to use  your  pram  for  a  baby.
