Yes but surely it needs some sort of harness to stop the kids falling out :D

Thanks :)  I definitely hope so - with 4 & 3 year sons, and work, etc, it can be a challenge...

Nice - it would be a good one to attend en masse as it were :)  I'm a few miles up the road from there, so could go in convoy from my place potentially...?

Fun weekend of driving having changed the rear axle seals and pads.  Fuelling is still a bit rich, and the idle is too low, so on lift off and coming to a stop, it takes a bit of dancing on the brake and accelerator to keep it running, but otherwise it's hilarious fun to drive currently.  Esp in the local multistorey after going to the gym yesterday - very drifty.  #Fast&Furious-FarnboroughDrift

So having spent many hours doing a 300 mile round trip to nottingham and back, one's mind starts to wander...  so started thinking about making a roof for the buggy. 

Now I really want to keep the thing looking clean and simple, so don't want to add permanent fixtures, or anything that's a hassle to put on or take off.  So the current (vague) thought is to get some plexiglass sheet, heat and roll the front around the windscreen frame (if I had a windscreen :) )

I already use these clamps for the roofrack and bike carrier, which do a great job of holding things tight, so by rolling the front and clamping the back, we should be near a win, if reinforcement bars are sensibly placed, right?
