Sling - Rain and Sun!

[frances2009]

I've just purchased a Baby Bjorn Active Carrier for my first baby due in August.

We're going to try to make do with this for the first 3-6 months as live in a tiny flat in London so not much space for a pram/pushchair (although just going to try, if it doesn't work out will find somewhere to put the pram!!)

Just wondering, what do people do when it rains? Do you need to get some sort of sling raincover or will just having an umbrella will suffice?

I've seen Baby Bjorn do a winter cover thingy so will definitely get that when it turns colder.

Normally prams and stuff you have a parasol - what do you do with a sling? Ok to have baby facing outwards when old enough without any sun protection except a hat and sun cream?

Any personal experience would be great!!
