Note, this is just one solution I thought about after posting the OP, this is still only a concept so I would love all opinions/suggestions in comments.
Attach a massive hood to my back
This is something I only thought about this a few days after first posting the question. I was inspired by this product: the. The photo below is taken from the product website and I can't help the impression it was just photoshopped to make it look like there's a cover on the child. Anyway, the idea I got from it is shown in the second, annotated version further down. My thinking is:
- "extend" the back of the seat upwards with an arch from a material like that used for child bike flags (what sort of plastic and diameter do I want to form an arch of ca. 500mm diameter?)
- slide the big plastic cover over that arch
- attach two elastic bands to my shoulders (perhaps to the straps of an empty rucksack), and use that to keep the cover extended That way I don't need to place anything rigid between me and my child. Naturally I could probably do it with any large sheet of PVC, no need to order a pricey one from a shop I never heard about.
