How Does It Work?

The uCosy Weathershield 

The uCosy is a new concept in parent and caregiver comfort, a weather shield for the ‘Pusher’ of any perambulator, from pushchair to wheelchair.

The uCosy comprises a collapsible canopy made from durable nylon connected to telescopic poles fitted with clamps (uClamp) capable of 360 degree rotation.

A novel and unique clamping device, the uClamp, allows this remarkable weather guard to be attached to a pole of most shapes or strut on a pram.

Once fitted to a pram, buggy or wheelchair, the unique design allows the uCosy to be folded and stored ready for rain emergencies, or excessive sunshine (UV protection).

How Does It Work 

The uClamp is the lynchpin of the uCosy. Twin rotating clamps attach simultaneously to the canopy poles and the structure of the pram, their rotation controlled by simple turn-wheels for ease of handling. These clamps allow the collapsed canopy to be folded away against the back of the pram when strolling or against the front of the pram, depending on pram type, for flat storage when the pram is collapsed.

A modified uClamp controls the expansion of the canopy, and allows the user to easily open and lock the canopy to provide rapid weather protection.

The simple, telescopic ‘twist-n-lock’ (adjusted using the uTwist) poles give a height range of up to 6’2” or 185cm, making this a highly adjustable weather shield.

Benefits of the uCosy 

Unlike the transparent raincovers which fit on to baby buggies and keep them dry when it is raining, or the miniature parasols which offer varying degrees of sun protection for the babies, the uCosy is a product which for the first time, is completely focuses on the comfort welfare, of the pusher. It will offer the user the opportunity to undertake daily travel with baby and buggy, and not be restricted by bad weather. From a safety aspect, once erected the uCosy is hands-free, allowing the user to steer the stroller with both hands. The uCosy (depending on canopy type) also offers the user UV protection, which is increasingly becoming a concern in both the EU and Australia. For drivers, the uCosy is easily visible as it extends higher than parked cars, alerting them to them possibility that young children may be attempting to cross roads.
