I did a ton of research before purchasing a sun shade for our stroller. I'd been using the car seat adapter, so between the car seat shade and the stroller canopy I didn't need one for awhile. I ordered the 3 in 1 because I was looking for sun and bug protection. When I opened the package, I was very impressed with the quality of the material. It is very breathable and well made. We live in Florida where it is still hotter than blue blazes in October. We tried this out for the first time this morning and my daughter stayed cool in 85 degree heat. She actually fell asleep during our jog for the first time in months. I am so happy with my purchase and I highly recommend it. It fits perfectly on our Baby Jogger Q series.

We used this a lot in our first summer with our daughter as she was sensitive to the sun as a lot of new babies are. It allows the air to flow freely through it, versatile and adaptable to most if not all strollers. Later on as our daughter grew bigger, she would play with it too, constantly pulling on it. I would say you will not use it much after your child grows past the 6 month mark.

This sun shade is awesome. Most strollers have useless sunshades. I should know, I have 5 strollers and only the Quinny Buzz has a relatively decent sunshade. But even the Buzz isn't great for a sun phobe like me. I used to drape a blanket on the shade to provide ample protection, but as Baby got older, he didn't really like not being able to see out the stroller so would pull the blanket down.

Enter Protect A Bub. Ties onto the Buzz easily and forms a super sunshade. I have no concerns taking my kid out with this thing. Gives great protection (even down to his toes!) and it still lets him see out and feel like part of the action.

I got the black one and it took 2 months to receive, so that was a bummer. But hopefully Amazon got the supply figured out and you will not have to wait so long.

I bought this for my jogging stroller to run and protect my babe from the sun...but when all said and done, it is simply too complicated! Everything has to be tied on, and then you have to untie everything to get your little one out! I wish they would have used velcro, it would have made more sense. I think for walking every once in awhile it would be fine, but for an avid runner who needs something every day, not worth it. I will be spending the extra $$$ and buying the BOB sunshade.

I like this product. It works as promised. I have a Jogging stroller and this item works great with the frame (baby trend). My girlfriend purchased this too but returned it as she did not like it for her phil and ted's stroller. the frame and ties did not match up well - she likes the shade that comes with that brand.
Back to protect-a-bub
it seems hard to work with at first, but if you fool with it - and give yourself time (not when you expect to go for a walk) to try it out - you'll love it.
I have the 3 position shade and all work well. My baby fusses when the shade is down unless i adjust it so he can see out - again, just tinkering with the stroller and item to figure out what works best for you.
i live in chicago - and we get some serious wind around these streets and the protect - a - bub stays on and does not blow around like others - i think because it's breathable.
the material is soft and stretchy. the shaping wire (or whatever is used to create the curved shape) is flexible which is nice for adjusting it or not breaking it.

I have not used the dark over/3rd postion, it just seems too much or in the summer when your strolling around, like it will be too hot. I'm sure i'll use it in the winter.

My husband has really sensitive skin so naturally we want to help our newborn son prevent any problems in case he has his dad's complexion! The shade is really easy to use. I usually just use the mesh cover because I imagine it's hot under there! But my baby likes it, it's easy to put on our Graco stroller, and most important, it's the only thing I found that is easy, doesn't look ridiculous, and works! Ingenious invention.

I really like this item. I bought it for my infant. I have a double Baby Jogger and it fits on my infants side so my toddler can look around. I would recommend it.

The canopy of the InStep Safari stroller is too wide for this sunshade. It fits well in the visor position, but when used in tent style it leaves small holes on each side and the sun falls directly on my daughter's head and face. It is also very cumbersome to change from visor to tent position and back. It also looks rather cheap for the money you pay. I expected something more sophisticated, fitting and easier to use.

I live in AZ and walk a lot with my baby, but I grew tired of fighting with blankets over the stroller. I found this product and just love it. It has met my needs and exceeded my expectations!

I live in a very sunny/tropical area and walk every day atleast 2 miles. I like the stroller shade, it is great quality and does a great job of blocking the sun. The only thing I don't like is that the straps that are used to secure the shade to the stoller are too short to tie in a tight bow so I have to tie them in a knot to keep it in place. So when it comes time to remove the shade from the stroller it is too hard to un-knot and by that time my baby is throwing a fit waiting to get out of the stroller becasue she's hot and I'm dripping sweat from the heat. Some type of strong velcro closure or atleast longer straps would be nice.
