 Gets the job done Sep 21, 2007
By guacgirl
I just got this recently. It does what I needed it to do which is always block the sun from my daughter's eyes. She hates the sun in her eyes so I was always having to walk backwards if the sun was facing towards her. It was easy to attach (attaches w/4 string ties). I use it w/ a MacLaren Quest.
It is not super aesthetically pleasing. My husband says it looks like one of those "granny" hats. But the color matches fine w/my stroller. The other downsides I see are: 1) I am going to have to unattach it if I want to fold up the stroller. Luckily I don't have to do this too often since this stroller lives in our house. 2) It is harder to get baby in and out of the stroller w/this canopy on b/c it doesn't fold back and so I have to bend very low to pull her out and she hits her head on the canopy sometimes, but it is soft so it doesn't hurt. This could be due to the fact that I did not install it as far back as it could go since I did not want to cover up the "window" that is in the stroller canopy so that I can still see my baby.
One last word - this size is "compact" but it is a pretty decent size. I can't imagine how I would have fit the larger size one on my stroller. It probably depends on the size of your stroller.
But all in all I am satisfied with my purchase since it is does what I needed.

Works great in the Phil and Teds Sport!!! Sep 17, 2009
By HB Mom
We use this sunshade on our Phil and Teds Sport model - takes a minute to get it set up but works excellent. Especially for loong periods out in the sun - covers your child completely. The canopy on the Phil and Teds is not great so anytime were going to be in the sun for a period of time I put it on. I also purchased the Protect A Bub backseat/tandem cover - again takes a min to set up but great su protection!

 Great extension to manufacturer's sunshade Sep 13, 2009
By S. Aponte
This definitely is a great extension to the practically useless sunshade that comes with any umbrella stroller. We have the MaClaren Quest Sport and this is a perfect match. It provides plenty of shade for our baby. It is key to understand that if your stroller does not already have a sunshade, this product is not for you simply because it must sit on top of an existing sunshade in order to stay up. My only complaints are (1) that it doesn't really adjust although you can kind of pull it up like a sleeve on a shirt if you wanted to see your baby more and (2) you have to tie it onto the stroller whenever you want to use it. Velcro would've been a better solution, IMO. Overall, it's a great product and does exactly as it describes... i.e. provides more shade for your baby.

Amazing Sahde, which I had it sooner! Sep 11, 2009
By A. Tausch
I bought the Protect-a-Bub shade for my newly purchased jogging stroller. It is fantastic! The biggest issue I have with most strollers is the lack of shade provided to the child.
This shades my daughter about 80% when I put it on. It is easy to use and folds out of the way it its own little pouch when not in use. It has ties to attach it to the stroller, which are handy and allow me to customize the way it fits on the stroller.
There are a few drawbacks, like it does make folding the stroller difficult if you are out and about. Since my jogging stroller is so big, I do not end up folding it up much when I am out. My daughter is a toddler, so she can crawl in and out fairly easily with this on, but it could be troublesome if the child was small. Additionally, it is a little funny looking (looks like the stroller is wearing an old fashioned ladies hat).
But the shade it gives her more then makes up for it! She never gets burned in the stroller. Additionally, we live close to multiple theme parks. This makes hot sunny days bearable for her in her stroller. She can sit or nap with ease and shaded from the hot sun. When the shade is not needed for the day, I untie it and pop it back into its little carry bag. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for additional shade on their stroller.

 Miss my stroller umbrella for coverage Aug 02, 2009
By VJ Mackay
Before going on a cruise, I had bought my son a Maclaren umbrella for his stroller. Because he can't help but play with it, he ended up breaking it. I thought I'd give this a try since I wouldn't have to adjust it and he wouldn't be able to move it. Well, I was disappointed. It fits great on my Triumph but it's very floppy. The kid can't see anything in front of him. I thought it'd stay arched like in the picture but it doesn't. Moreover, his legs are fully exposed. The shade gives him no shade at all. It does provide more than the original canopy coming with the stroller but nothing compares to the real umbrella. I will try to re-fit it again but I will probably order another Maclaren umbrella anyway. All in all, not recommended for the Triumph.
