Stroller Sun Shade - Worth the $$??

[DisneyFan1003]

We were shopping online for a stroller sun shade - the tie-on type that extend the overall coverage of your stroller. Anyone had experience with these in the parks? Are they worth the hassle? We bought a new Chicco Liteway stroller that has a decent shade, but it's not overly large. Our daughter will be 7 months on our trip in a week and we just don't want to get down there and worry about her baking in the Florida sun!

Thanks!

I would say - absolutely YES!! When we went last June we brought one for extra sun protection for our daughter (who was 2 then) and it was great! It would extend far enough to shade even her toes. But I am a big into sun protection.

Here is a not so great pic of the shade on our tiny stroller.

It is not fully extended here,(you couldn't really have it fully extended and take a picture where you could see her) but you get the idea.

Could you post a link to one? We may look into one as well, but we are also looking for a double stroller as well. Have a great trip!

We went ahead and ordered one from Amazon - looks like it should work well! Here's the link to the one we purchased...found someone at my office that had something similar and said it was fantastic!

Back from our trip and I can say this was the best $25 we spent! It was very sunny and VERY hot the whole time we were there and this kept our daughter from baking in the Orlando sun...thanks to all for the advice!

FYI - we found ours on Amazon.com - Protect-A-Bub. Worked perfectly on a Chicco Liteway stroller!!

What a cute little girl. I made some red and white Minnie print pillow case dresses. But hers, well I am jealous!

Thank you! I am amazed by anyone who can sew. I have not a crafty bone in my body.

I bought that dress from the Etsy (etsy.com) seller Everything Abigail. She still sells the same dress and she was wonderful to work with!

stroller sun shade

I use a great sun shade that fits any stroller. It is like putting sunglasses on the stroller, not on your toddler. It is called bebe-soleil and can be purchased on Amazon.com. My toddler loves it because she can see through it. I love it because it protects her entire face.

I recommend it 100%! We used one on our 8 month old foster son's stroller last year, and it was awesome. Complete shade made for some really good naps.
