Oh no, free to good home! Seriously. I think it was about £40 five years ago. We didn't use it much as by the time I installed it ds was old enough to be able to pull on it and sproing it into my face. Dd is now exactly that age and therefore also likely to attack it.
I don't think this caveat applies to Mlle gggl.
If you are interested, I'll need to hoick it out, check it is still in good condition, and then if you are in/passing through London I can hand it over. I'm not giving it a good press but it is actually very sweet and does have this high UV lining - it's not just lacy cotton.

actually I think a dark coloured parasol is probably not that good an idea .. light colours reflect heat / dark colours absorb it and could make it really hot

and wouldn't she look like a chocolate roll?

and if the Bebe Comfort people don't make them then it won't match perfectly anyway

I'd go for a totally different colour .. cream maybe to complement

oo get me

Would a white, broderie anglaise, adjustable, ruinously expensive, high protection-lined, sun canopy, be a suitable alternative gggl? Barely used, quite pretty description notwithstanding.
