Baby Products Reviews of UPPAbaby Bubble Infant Car Seat Shade
Customer Review: Could be easily improved
Summary: 3 Stars
Our newborn baby loves to go on walks. We're using our Chicco KeyFit 30 car seat with the snap and go until he gets a bit bigger. Unfortunately, the KeyFit has a dreadful sun shade. If it were capable of remaining fully extended it may be able to do the job but it always seems to collapse down quite a bit. We tried using a receiving blanket to cover the seat, but it would often blow off in a stiff breeze or otherwise shift and expose him to the sun.
The UPPAbaby bubble solves this problem - almost. The sun shade covers only the very top of the bubble. If you are walking directly into or away from the sun, your child will be in total shade. Otherwise, sun will still get in through the mesh on the sides. Sure, some of the harmful rays will be filtered through the mesh, but is that enough? I have no idea, and I don't intend to find out. What I end up doing is leaving the top sun shade unbuttoned at the front, allowing me to position it to shade the sides. I have to adjust it every time we change directions on our walk.
This isn't a deal breaker, but it's an unnecessary hassle. I don't understand why UPPAbaby couldn't have made the shade unfold to be just a bit wider than the top of the bubble. This simple change would allow full sun protection. It works marvelously as a bug protector and also has the ancillary benefit of keeping strangers hands off of my kid. It'd be a 5 star product if not for the questionable design decision.
