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.

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.

I have a Phil and Ted's Sport stroller that doesn't provide adequate shade for my newborn. I purchased this sunshade and have been quite pleased with it. The down sides are that is quite a large canopy making it look a little silly, and it blows around quite a bit in strong winds. But if you are looking for something that will keep your babes out of the sun.... this works. The velcro straps make it easy to adjust. I keep it folded up in the back pocket of the driver's seat in my car.

We just received this and it is just what we needed! It fits perfect, is easy to install and take off, and really provides wonderful sun protection. It will only work on strollers that have a top canopy, so make sure that is what you have. It is made of a very stretchy fabric and it is not waterproof, but it will keep a little sprinkle off of the baby for a short while just in case. Please parents, if you plan on doing anything outdoors with your baby/toddler in the stroller, provide them with some sun protection!! This item is Perfect for that! I see time and time again parents out in the sun at the zoo with their baby in direct sunlight in the middle of summer!! This item is very easy to give your babies the comfort they need from the sun :)

This shade is excellent. It can be pull all the way down when my son is sleeping, so no sun or wind would bother him. The only thing is that when it's very windy, the shade would swing to the side when you have the shade very low. Overall, for the price and effectiveness, it's a very good purchase! I want my son to get vitamin D, but not right on his face!!

This is generally a OK product. So far I used it for a couple of month, the stripe to tie the shade to the stroller is tearing off already. Also when you stretch it down all the way, it will get stuffy inside the stroller. I thought you could attatch this to any stroller, turned out you can only attatch it to a stroller with it's own shade already. otherwise there is no supporting point for this shade.

I purchased this shade to put on the front seat of my double stroller, as the shade up there is a a joke....The connections on the Kiddopotomus are not designed for that sort of use and it was too awkward to be useful. It is now in a heap in the front entry way and I am considering a clip on umbrella for the toddler in the front of my Graco, but I gave it 3 stars anyway as it looks like it would do what it says it will on a single stroller that already has a largish shade to support the extra sunshade....and yes I know that it says it is for a single stroller, but there doesn't appear to be one designed for a "single file" type double stroller!

This is so useful. The sun covers for the strollers are usually not long enough to give your child sun protection. This Rayshade is long enough and your baby is always protected!

I like this shade, especially since my lightweight stoller has a joke of a shade.

I only gave a 4 star because there were really no instructions. You have to play with it to figure out how & where to connect the straps. But once on it usually stays in place.

I also like to pockets on the side, convient for holding bottles, keys & small toys.
