2.0 out of 5 stars barely works, August 18, 2007

This review is from: Kiddopotamus Rayshade UV Protective Stroller Shade for Single Strollers & Joggers, Gray (Baby Product)

It is UV protection and it's better than nothing (thus the 2 stars instead of 1).

PROS:
Better than the stroller's shade.

CONS:
In the wind it flops around and is therefore useless as a sunshade.
Bent within 2 days of light use.
Doesn't fold up while on the stroller, so when going from outside to inside (say into a store, etc) you have to remove it.
Have to remove it from an umbrella stroller to fold the stroller.

ALTERNATIVE:
Baby Sun Throw from Coolibar. It's 50+ UPF and with a little iron-on Velcro you can drape it over your baby's lap in the stroller and Velcro it to itself and have it stay put.

This is the first product for which I've ever submitted a review. However, this product is so terrific, I couldn't help but share. We used this sun shade on a Maclaren stroller for a week at Disney World. Had we not had this sun shade, I would have spent most of the trip in the hotel room with our infant, who was still too young to wear sunscreen. What a lifesaver! I even had numerous parents approach me at Disney asking whether I purchased it at the park.

3.0 out of 5 stars But if there were no wind....., April 15, 2008

This product would be absolutely great if the wind never blew, but I had to try it for the price. My son hates the sun and loves to take his sunglasses off and throw them on the ground. I bought this because it is an exceptionally reasonable price, and I gave it a 3 because there has to be a way to stabilize this more, so I know it's not a complete loss.

Attaching it is very easy. I've had no problems leaving it on and closing my stroller and loading it in the car. If I go into the store I can easily bend it back and place something over it to hold it in place while shopping. This isn't the most convenient, though, and sunglasses might work better.

The bottom line is, for the price it is worth it if you are willing to work with it. It is very pliable and soft and not sturdy, so if you are looking for something very sturdy, this is not the product to buy. If you are looking for something as a rain protector, this is not the product to buy.

Overall, I'm fairly happy with the purchase and plan to keep working with it, maybe evening shortening it up a tad bit so that it isn't so flimsy in the wind.
