Wheelchairs in rain?

Hi all,
Silly question but... we are going Sept/Oct (expecting wet weather). What do you do to keep wheelchairs dry whilst on rides? TIA

Well most loading areas are under cover anyway. We usually load DS and then the CMs take chair to ride exit. If you do have to leave it outside I turn the cushion over. You could always put a poncho across it.

My DD sits on a hand towel. If raining we take towel with us then use it to dry off on return to chair.

I use an ecv and use a poncho to cover both the console and the seat.
