I saw this on the Shadybaby website for $35 but got it for $20 here. Perfect condition. you just clamp onto any bar on the stroller, tighten and open the parasol. It has a small bendy party that allows you to angle the parasol. It's perfect for our walks and the sock monkey is a cute design!We use it everyday, literally.

I bought this umbrella because we were traveling for a month and only bringing the Snap N Go + car seat, which doesn't have much of a sun shade. This umbrella is well-made, easy to attach & adjust, and is cute, but it was a pain to have to readjust it every time I turned a corner or the road turned. I'd have to stop and walk around to the front of the stroller to adjust it. I ended up just throwing a receiving blanket over the car seat -- it gave better coverage, needed less repositioning, and if I did need to move it, I could do it while pushing the stroller.

I really love this umbrella. It has a nice clamp and moves around in all sorts of positions. Has been great for keeping the sun off the baby.

First of all I love the design and overall it seems like a good product.
However, I tried to use it on my three-wheel jogging stroller (Bumbleride) which is bigger than the normal four-wheelers and it did not provide sufficient shade. The most annoying thing was to get the umbrella in the right position to provide shade. I ended up fumbling the whole time with the umbrella during walks. Also, the side bar on the stroller where the umbrella is supposed to be clamped on is too big and after many struggles to get the umbrella in the right position to provide shade, the clamp broke, which made made the umbrella useless.

In conclusion this seems nice a like product for standard strollers but it does not work for larger models.

We took this to the amusement park and it kept falling over as we pushed the stroller around. It does a good job when it stays up. I would not recommend due to the fact that you have to keep putting it in place every few steps.

I live in Arizona with my fair skinned 10 month old. I have another extended shade for my stroller but needed a little more for the sides so thought I would try this.
Pros: this really is adorable. Great vivid color and the umbrella part itself is good quality. It is easy to assemble on and off in seconds. The bar has a flexible bend area to easily adjust to where it needs to be. I got a lot of compliments of how cute it was. I did protect my son or the sun and reflected a lot of heat off him. I did feel better using it and had no worry of sun burns.

Cons: The base connector broke just after two months. I had only used it about 3 times so this was really disappointing. It was not fixable as it snapped in two pieces. The bar itself is rather long which is needed BUT would always stick out of
The bottom of my stroller storage area and often hit my leg when walking.

I would like to see this product with a bar that collapses for easier storage. It needed major improvement of the base connector because it should last more then 3 times.

I gave the umbrella top part to my friends little girl and she holds it like a regular umbrella so not all is a loss.

Such a sad disappointment as this product really is a great idea and very cute!!

The cutiest little umbrella....the BIGGEST piece of CRAP!! When placed on the stroller it does not stay. It does not bend well either. I have not ever had a successful use out of it. Don't waste your money!

This umbrella does not stay attached very well. I had high hopes for it, maybe used it 2 times and then sold it. It just didn't seem sturdy or big enough to really provide shade.

The reason I give this product 3 stars is because the reason I purchased it was so that I could angle it any which way so that I will shade my baby from the sun. Well it doesn't really stay put. It can only be bent just a little way or else it will completely bend in half. The overall quality of the parasol is great. The design is so cute. I can use it if the sun is directly overhead and I don't have to bend it at all. But that was not the purpose of this "bendy" stroller umbrella.

This umbrella can be adjusted in almost any way making taking a stroll in the sun very doable. While walking simply move the umbrella a bit to keep baby shaded.
