Has anyone got one and would you recommend them?
Also, do they fit any pushchair?

Hi
I agree with chuffedbaby2, its really easy to fit and keeps the sun off and helps my lo stay cooler. i think it can also be used as an insect net. i would definitely recommend it, i got mine from boots last week they are doing triple points on baby x

Thank you I'm going to Ibiza soon so think this must be a necessity for a 15wk old baby with red hair and pale skin!

Hi

I'm looking at getting one of these too. I have looked on the Boots website and can't see - is that one of the new type (I think - although may be wrong - that the new ones have zips either side of the front to make it easier to get to your lo?)

Thanks

The one I've seen is on the mothercare website and its £35 but I've looked on ebay and might get one off there.
Think there is an attatchment to take the top bit off so lo can see out, not sure if its on all of them.

I have one and it's great! I've used it on holidays and at home and stopped my little girl catching the sun in over 100 degree heat!
They fit most prams as long as they have a hood. Mine fits on my Quinny Buzz and also on my cheap holiday stroller.

Hi,
I got one out of Boots recently and it does have the 2 zips at the front. This then folds down into a pocket to keep it out of the way.

The first time I used it madam was screaming blue murder underneath (tired) and we were walking past a toddler who kept stopping to look - I then realised the shade is so dark he could hear the baby crying but couldnt work out where she was as he couldnt see her!!

Great product - keeps the sun oit from every angle - and the wind and insects out.

I have one of these, have had it since before Summer was born as I remember hating parasols from first time round. It's great and you don't have to keep moving it every time you turn a corner lol. Definately reccomend it.xxx

Being cheeky but I'm having a clear out and need to get rid of some stuff!
Poppy didn't sleep much in her pram on our last holiday and at home rarely sits in it so I doubt I'll need my Outlook shade a babe.
It's a standard one (without the zipped area) but the velcro tabs haven't been cut to fit my pram so will fit any pram/stroller with a hood.
Either reply on here or mail me if you're interested.
Thanks!
