Pushchair sun canopy suggestions other than Shade-a-babe!

[coolkat]

Be gentle I have never started a thread!

I have a Britax Vigour and tried the Shade a babe and there was just to much material. I also did not like how dark it was for the baby. I have a parasol and just been for a walk and it was a nightmare so thought I would ask you wise mumsnetters what you use/d.

I have been looking on ebay and there seem a few canapoy type ones that fit over your hood but I am unsure whether they are any good. My Pram seems to have a rubbish sized canopy but it is nice to push!

TIA

not sure really.
i just use a parasol thingy.

or a muslin square slung over the hood!

I used the protect-a-bub on my britax vigour & Maclaren pushchairs. It was a godsend in Spain & DS wasn't shrouded in a black tent unlike the shade-a-babe

protect-a-bub

Ah I have been looking at them and something called Hippo something or other. I will take your recommendation though and purchase the shade a bub!
Thanks

glad I could help. It was great on the britax when the pushchair was reclined coz the hood goes back with it when it's reclined so you're left with practically no hood. I originally used a parasol but you have to adjust it everytime you change direction! Just hope we get a decent summer now...

Ordered one! DH says I have just cursed the nation and we probably will get no sunshine! So I apologise in advance

Thanks again.
