Summer Rayshade, Outlook Solar, New World, Pepeny's or whatever it's called.. which one fares best?! (extended hoodshade for buggies is what I'm harpinng on about!)

As lovely as my BJCM is, I've been using my lovely Volo a lot more... a LOT more. But now with the Summer sun, it's a birrov a pain as the hood is quite smallish (comparing to my bjcm ofcourse) I think I'm in need of one of the below- whereas prices vary (think I'll be going down the 2nd hand route) I just wanna put the feelers out and hear from other prammies who have/ had them and what the (dis)/advantages are..
Rayshade by Summer
Solar Shade by Outlook
Protect a Bub
Pepeny Shade
I'm put off by the Shade-a-Babe as I've heard it gets abit muggy/hot under it especially on holiday in a hot country etc- plus, don't think my dd would appreciate being 'covered' up to that extent
Or if there's another cheaper one out there, suggest away
TIA

If Volo has a small hood I wouldn't go for the solar shade, it's quite a bit fit, more for 3 wheelers I think. It was still a bit baggy on my p&t tbh.
The rayshade is fine, just flaps around a lot in the wind because of the design so not much good on a windy hot day! Tis v.easy to pull on and off though & fold back or fold into itself.
Haven't tried the other 2.

I've got the Shade-a-babe and to be honest, I think it's rubbish. I've tried it on a Silver Cross Pop and Bugaboo Cameleon and cannot seem to get any kind of reasonable fit on either of them.
Have you seen this ?

It looks quite good, but I'm a bit wary as it's a very new product and I've only ever seen one review.

I have a Rayshade and a Protect a Bub, they are much the same.
