The Shower Cap Pram Wheel Hack: A Game-Changer for Mums on the Go
Let’s talk about muddy pram wheels. If you’ve ever battled the aftermath of a rainy-day walk—mud streaks all over the car boot, the struggle of wiping them down while wrangling a toddler—you know exactly why this hack is a lifesaver.
Just last week, after a wet and muddy day at a National Trust property, I watched my sister casually pull out what I thought were special pram wheel covers. Curious, I asked where she got them from, and she simply said, "Boots." I was confused—I’d never seen pram wheel covers there before! That’s when she laughed and let me in on the secret: they were just shower caps.
Mind blown.
On my way home, I had to pop into Tesco and grabbed two packs of two caps. The next time I was out in the rain, I slipped them over the wheels before loading the pram into the car, and just like that—no more mess!
It’s one of those ridiculously simple hacks that makes you wonder why you didn’t think of it sooner. No more frantic scrubbing at dried mud or trying to line the boot with a towel that never quite stays put. Just slip the shower caps on, load up the pram, and take them off when you get home. Give the wheels a quick rinse if needed, and you’re good to go for the next adventure.
Parenting is chaotic enough without adding unnecessary stress, so I’m all for the little wins that make life that tiny bit easier. If you haven’t tried this one yet, give it a go next time you’re out in the rain! And if you’ve got any other genius mum hacks, drop them in the comments—I’m always up for a good life-changing tip!
