Baby Products Reviews of Protect-a-Bub Compact Sunshade - Single - Black
Customer Review: Best Alternative for stroller canopies
Summary: 5 Stars
This shade was the best alternative that we could find to use with our Graco carseat/stroller. Babies can't wear most sunscreens until they are 6 months and most canopies on infant car seats are insufficient. I found myself always stopping in the middle of the street to readjust the canopy on the infant car seat. This shade covers your baby. It covered my darling entirely for the first couple of months. The shade is now on our umbrella stroller and we use it everyday.
Pro
-Wonderful coverage
-Easily folds up into a circle and can be placed in your basket when you are not using it
-SPF 50
-Breathable; perfect for summer days
Cons
-Expensive
-You have to attach the shade using ties and this can get tiresome when you are constantly putting it on and off
Customer Review: Great protection!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is easy to "install" - and the protection is perfect. My son is 4 months old, and isn't using sunblock, so this has been a lifesaver! We love it. The only con is that you have to untie it every single time you want to fold the stroller...but really, what would the alternative be...it's not like there is a stroller out there that can offer this much protection. Buy it - you'll love it!Customer Review: Makes outdoor strolls more enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
I love going out for walks with my daughter in her stroller but she absolutely hates when the sun shines in her face for even a second, she automatically starts to fuss and cry. It seems like all of the stroller manufacturers make the shades on their strollers very short so that very little of the baby is actually in the shade.
This sun shade is the perfect solution - it's light and easy to use and attach. A few simple cloth ties and I had it attached to her stroller in a few moments, and it is easily removed and folds up to be stored until you need it again. I definitely recommend this for anyone who uses their strollers for out-door walks often. I only wish they came in more colors or better yet fun prints.
Customer Review: Gets the job done
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this recently. It does what I needed it to do which is always block the sun from my daughter's eyes. She hates the sun in her eyes so I was always having to walk backwards if the sun was facing towards her. It was easy to attach (attaches w/4 string ties). I use it w/ a MacLaren Quest.
It is not super aesthetically pleasing. My husband says it looks like one of those "granny" hats. But the color matches fine w/my stroller. The other downsides I see are: 1) I am going to have to unattach it if I want to fold up the stroller. Luckily I don't have to do this too often since this stroller lives in our house. 2) It is harder to get baby in and out of the stroller w/this canopy on b/c it doesn't fold back and so I have to bend very low to pull her out and she hits her head on the canopy sometimes, but it is soft so it doesn't hurt. This could be due to the fact that I did not install it as far back as it could go since I did not want to cover up the "window" that is in the stroller canopy so that I can still see my baby.
One last word - this size is "compact" but it is a pretty decent size. I can't imagine how I would have fit the larger size one on my stroller. It probably depends on the size of your stroller.
But all in all I am satisfied with my purchase since it is does what I needed.
