Any recommendations for a parasol for Graco Quattro duo (tandem buggy)?

Has just occurred to me that I'm going to need a parasol soon (after first warm sunshine yesterday) and wondered if anyone knew of good ones for tandem buggies. I've tried googling it but to no avail. Please help!

Hi Ewemoo. I had a Graco tandem. I gave up trying to find a sunshade specifically desgined for tandem chairs as when you can find them they are ridiculously expensive, and sometimes as much as the actual pushchair! I found that if you go for one of the single pushchair rectangular-shaped shades that fold in half (so you can have them long and straight or folded into a right angle, for example), this will work. If you attach it to the bars supporting the hood of the front seat, the one half will shade the front baby while the other will cover the gap between the two hoods and keep the back seat completely in the shade. Alternatively, buy an extra large sunmesh online and it should drape the entire thing but still leave your little ones able to see out. I think you can find them on suntogs online, although you may get them cheaper on Ebay or something. A pillowcase or sheet will also do the trick but has the drawback of not allowing the babies to see out.

Hope that helps!
