The Prairie really only gives maximum height over the middle seat position so in my case with two kids sitting side by side they would have eventually been hitting their helmets on the hood. Of course they are very large now and do that anyway (at least when the youngest rides in it as the oldest prefers his own bike now) but I definitely got more years out of the Bugatti hood. The sun was never really an issue as they always had helmets with brims anyway. The Bugatti hood can also be rolled out partially over the seat for sun shade if required (it has little clips to keep it in place). The adjusted seat height was fine for the boys when I did it and made the under cover rainy day rides to school more comfortable.Aaron...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12865074332241279242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534311928413156169.post-50985960956117769282013-04-03T23:36:00.559+11:002013-04-03T23:36:00.559+11:00Oh!

Would you go for a prairie hood here?<br />What are your thoughts and does one offer greater headroom than the other?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739521069543260741noreply@blogger.com
