Sunshine Kids Shade Maker Canopy For Strollers, Black

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

Does NOT work unless stroller has pre-existing canopy/shade
Our umbrella stroller does not have a canopy/shade, so I read some reviews and the product description and figured this would do the job. The canopy came in the mail a few days later. As soon as I opened it, I knew I was screwed. It is one of those pop-up shades that you can fold up into a circle to store. In other words, it is a flat, black oval. The outside of the package says "Use on buggies that don't have a canopy or extend existing canopy just by pulling it down." Then I read the directions and the VERY FIRST THING it says is "Your stroller must already have a sun shade (or top/roof) structure for this product work as designed. It works as an extension for current shades. It is not a replacement for those strollers without any shade protection to all."

Oh.

So I tried to make it work anyway, but if there is nothing for it to anchor and conform to, it isn't going to happen. I'm sure it works great on a stroller with a shade, but I'm giving it 1 star...

works well
This product works fine, at least when your stroller has a little canopy where the shade maker stretches over. It adjusts well, gives the extra shade, the original canopy does not, so it is fine. I did not rate it with five points for the following reasons. First, it is really hard to fold it again once it has popped up. Second the attaching strings are not thought-out well. There are four points to be tied with very short straps and two more with hook-and-loop fastener that i did not figure out how they are supposed to be attached... The good thing is, that you actually only need two ties to make it work.
Too Small to be Worthwhile
I originally ordered the RayShade for my larger stroller, and I thought I could get by with just one because I could easily switch it from that to my compact stroller. Turns out I'd always forget to switch it, so my baby was left without shade. The RayShade is awesome, and can stretch to cover everything, including her feet. Since we live in Houston, pants/socks are not viable options in the summer, so a large stroller shade is necessary.

I ordered the Sunshine Kids Shade Maker because it was cheaper, and I thought, "How different can it be??" Well...

1. It is SMALL. Even on my tiny compact stroller (The First Years Jet), it doesn't provide more than a few inches of extra shade. It's no larger than the shade the stroller comes with. And your stroller MUST have a shade already for this to work (it provides the support).

2. It is actually hard to put on. I mean, you'd think it looks easy, but when I compare it to the RayShade, it's ridiculous...
