A mum was praised for using her pram's rain cover to protect her tot from coronavirus during a shopping trip.
The Australian mother popped the attachment over her baby for the trip to the supermarket today.
She shared her idea on Facebook - and the reaction was largely positive. A doctor even suggested it was a good move.
The inventive mum posted on Facebook: “Remember those annoying rain covers we got with our prams that we all threw to the back of the cupboard?
“I finally found a use for it amongst this covid craziness.”

Some parents online questioned if the hack is safe for the little one.
But Dr Sam Hay, a GP from Australia, told Kidspot : "Rain covers can provide a valuable barrier for baby from the world around them.
“We also know that COVID-19 can be transmitted by droplets – that means when you cough of sneeze, tiny balls of spit fly out, transmitting the virus to any surface in about a two metre radius.
“Now imagine someone coughs or sneezes just as you wheel your pram past – any of those droplets could land on your precious baby.
"When you are out in the community, you have to be vigilant with washing your hands after everything you touch – because you just don’t know who touched it before you."
The UK was put into full lockdown yesterday but Brits are allowed out to buy groceries.
And with children off school due to the pandemic, many parents are juggling working from home with childcare duties.
But while Dr Hay supported the woman's hack, she did stress to ensure babies are safe at all times.
“Always monitor temperature inside,” the medic said.
“And make sure prying little hands aren’t reaching in without you noticing.
"You may also consider giving it a quick wipe down before you take baby out so you don’t transfer anything from the outside in.”
