I live in a big city and use my Joovy Caboose every day. With this wind/rain shield, it is a year-round stroller. The shield is thick - it will not crack or tear, and the rain just pools on top, never leaking through. We've used it in the rain many times, and the kids have never gotten wet, except for in a really heavy downpour when their shoes get wet. Unfortunately, there is no way to help this, since understandably it cannot cover all the way down, as it would then cover the wheels. The shield does not cover the organizer, and so things in that may get wet in the rain. I also use the shield in cold weather, and it does great to keep the kids warm. It's like a little greenhouse inside, so be careful that the kids don't get too hot if they are bundled warmly.
One of the best features of the shield is that there is a zipper about 6 inches long on the side of the front where you can pass things through to the front child. This is great for handing snacks or a water bottle through without taking the shield off or reaching up underneath it. There are also little holes for air vents on each side. It attaches with 3 squares of velcro on each side in the back and with strips of velcro by the front tires (I don't attach the front unless it is really windy out). The back child can just undo one side and come out of the stroller easily without taking the whole thing off.
One con is that it is very difficult to hear the kids through the shield, so pay extra attention that they are not in there yelling and you just aren't hearing it!
Overall, this is a wonderful product. This makes it very feasible to use the Joovy Caboose year-round and still have the kids be comfortable.
