Which sun parasol should I buy for the Quinny Buzz?

The online review of the Quinny one say it's flimsy, expensive, you need to buy an additional clip and it doesn't have UV protection. I went to mothercare to see if they had a universal one and their one designed specifically with an oval clip to fit the Quinny frame, didn't fit!

There are so many online but none seem to specify whether they can fit the odd oval shape of the Quinny frame. Has anyone else solved this problem?

Thanks

If I'm brutally honest, parasols for pushchairs are a total waste of time and money. They are bloody fiddly to fit, you can never get them quite tight enough, and everytime you change direction, you have to moove the bloody thing to keep your baby in the shade, and it promptly falls off the frame again. Finally you get it tight enough, only to find its now so tight that you cant unscrew it when its time to fold the pushchair.
Do yourself a favour and buy one of those hood extender shade -a-babe things. Much easier!
But if you insist on having a parasol, I think the mamas and papas skate ones might fit, or the one that fits the newest silver cross oval frame.

I agree with Faddle, they are a right faff.

I've got a Rayshade. Its not pretty but does the job better than a parasol. The shade-a-babe that Faddle mentions looks good too.

Strange that the Mothercare one didn't fit as I know a few people with Quinny's that have this. Not sure how well it fits though as I had the Mothercare one for my icandy (similar frame) and it stayed on but wasn't great!
