You can throw a generic waterproof buggy cover over the top of the seat for extra dryness and wind protection if you have somewhere to strap the velcro on to.
The upgrade to this is using 15mm plastic plumbing pipe to create a support for the buggy cover to sit on, instead of it resting on little ones head. I've made one this week inspired by a friend, and sprayed it black.
This doesn't do much for the rider though and I'm still searching for a combo of waterproof jacket and trousers that can keep me dry for an hour in heavy rain of anyone has any suggestions.
Edit, just seen this has already been posted upthread.csb.

Last winter I mostly drove the car to nursery drop off then on to work (2 miles then about 4) because it just rained and rained and rained. Today I drove, and it was awful and slow and I resolved to take the bike every day. Child is 2. We go early in the morning so time spent dressing and undressing and faffing is unwelcome. What do I need to do/buy to make us waterproof and weatherproof all winter? I am riding a flat bar hybrid, currently without mudguards but only road ones will fit and they are £££. She is in a Thule seat and obviously we have basic waterproofs.
Are the poncho things you are covering the whole kid any good? Etc
