I bought this so my twin boys wouldn't get a sunburn. They still got a tan on their legs! The sticky tabs they give you to put on the stroller and the cover don't stick to anything! I would have to stop every few feet to get the cover back out of my sons mouth. I even have the stroller that they are advertising this on (the double trouble by tike tech).

A bed sheet would have been cheaper and it might have even looked nicer! NOT WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY I SPENT ON THIS!

I bought this to keep sun out of my little ones eyes when we're out running. Not only do the tabs not stick, as any toddler would, she protested being behind a curtain during when she just wanted to see the world. Wouldn't you?!

I have the kiddopotamus and Co baby shade for the single stroller. I've used it on the single peg prego stroller, the single chico umbrella stroller, and the combi single stroller, and it has worked wonderfully on all. I am very impressed with the product.

The material is soft and breathable. You don't have to worry about having baby wrapped up in PVC plastic like other rain and wind covers. There is a mesh peep hole for baby to look through during more active times. The peep hole is adjustable with snaps ("poppers") so that baby can see more if they want. Or, you can have them covered up more completely when they are sleeping. It protects baby from sun, wind, and rain. So, it is convenient to carry around for all types of weather and seasons. It folds into itself when not in use into a zipped up compact pouch. When unfolded, it provides a small parent's pocket for storage.

I've used this for vacation in the summer in Utah and Wyoming and found it worked very nicely. I've also use it in all seasons in NYC and NJ and am very happy with it. I recommend it and am planning to buy the double stroller size when my second is born.

First, the adhesive/velcro fasteners which attach this cover to the stroller were inadequate to say the least. Second, it is opaque, so the kids couldn't even take in their surroundings. Since it resembles a parachute, the only reason that the kids even got fresh air was because the *stupid* thing wouldn't stay attached to the stroller, the kids probably wouldn't have had fresh air. Go for hats and sunscreen/protective garments instead!

I got this to use on a double jogging stroller, and never tried to use any stick-on fasteners. I just used the tie straps & snaps and it works great. And, considering this is <1/3 the price of any other shade/rain covers for double strollers, I think it's great.

For shade, it's not something you necessarily want to use when the kids are alert, but I got it primarily for use during naps, so the privacy & view-blocking is perfect. You can also adjust the view by unfastening some of the snaps (unsnapped one side while one kid was awake, other asleep on the covered side). It covers down past the feet on my stroller. The mesh is great to keep bugs off, and kids can still see fine when white shades are removed. The fabric seems pretty breathable, yet kept the kids & contents dry during a light/moderate rain. Adjusting the snaps (some open, some closed) also helped with airflow. It's also much better than the clear pvc plasticy rain cover I have for my single Maclaren - the kids HATE to be shrink-wrapped like that, in a sweaty suffocating pod they're strapped into... yuck.

This is not a cover for every day use. I keep it in it's self-bag in the basket of the stroller to pull out for naps or rain or extreme sun exposure or a particularly buggy day. It meets my needs perfectly for the price paid.
(now, I would expect another shade that costs 4x as much to fuction 4x better, which would not be an easy task.)

I was iffy about buying this because of the bad reviews but I think its great. It keeps sun and bugs out and it costs way less then others like it. I really dont know what all the complaints are about
