Nov 11, 2020 at 22:06 comment added pateksan I don't know how to say this without being discriminatory myself but the chicanes are honestly lifesavers, they seem to really do the job of forcing the mopeds to use the road and not our path. There is just one more route without these, and mopeds still turn up sometimes, so I'd be all in favour of that route also getting them. Mopeds are a plague where I live.
Nov 11, 2020 at 8:14 comment added thosphor The chicanes on your route are probably illegal via The Equality Act 2010, Section 20. An FOI request to your local council about whether they've done an Equality Impact Assessment on them could be enough to trigger them being removed.
Nov 10, 2020 at 6:58 comment added Chris H One more thought: do you stop much on the ride? My daughter didn't get much rain in her face in the baby seat because moving forwards I kept it off her. It was only really an issue getting ready to go out, and something fiddly could mean more standing around getting wet. I also block the headwind, even on her later seat. This would support your fairing idea - a coat or cape (the latter fitting to the seat) on the child, and something on your back.

Big overhaul: asking "for a solution to the actual problem" - as opposed to "for opinions on one solution I came up with"
Nov 8, 2020 at 23:24 comment added Criggie @pateksan go for editing that into your question, and updating the title. Should be fine.

Justification why I'm keen to cover/protect the face
Nov 8, 2020 at 22:18 comment added pateksan I can see now that the question should have been "How to protect a child's face from rain and wind while in child seat", because that's what I'm actually trying to achieve. And the conversion should just be shown as one of the ideas I have considered. Can I still do such a major rewrite at this stage? The two answers to date would still fit - in fact the answerers have pretty much guessed my actual question. Should I rewrite or not? Hope I can ask here without setting up a separate meta question..

Nov 8, 2020 at 3:39 comment added Criggie Consider airflow too - you don't want a sealed plastic bag. I'd just go with a waterproof jacket+hood on the child, or a nice knitted balaclava hat under the helmet.
Nov 8, 2020 at 1:36 comment added Daniel R Hicks If you do this you need some sort of a rail above the child's head to hold the cover in place.
