ShadyBaby Parasol: Sun Protection for Your Baby

Did you have a list of ‘things to do’ before having a baby? Many couples talk about the things they’d like to do before starting a family – some make a list – and some actually do the things on their list! Heather Leslie and Brian Winterling wanted to take a trip ‘around the world’ before starting a family. So they bought a plane ticket and traveled internationally.

While on their trip, they noticed that in many places of the world parents used parasols to shield themselves or their children from the sun. Strollers in Europe were equipped with fashionable parasols that protected little ones from the sun’s rays. Upon returning from their trip, they noted that Americans did not have the same stylish parasols available to them, and instead used blankets or inadequate cover on strollers. Soon…ShadyBaby was created!

Sun protection is so important, especially for children. As we all know, too much sun exposure can cause painful burns and even lead to skin cancer. The ShadyBaby parasol is one way to protect your little one from the sun. Great to attach to strollers that don’t have adequate canopy coverage – the ShadyBaby parasol has SPF 50+, is easily assembled, and is available in 9 fashionable, fun styles. Best of all, you don’t have to struggle trying to cover that one spot that the stroller canopy just doesn’t cover – simply attach the clamp to your stroller, open the parasol, and adjust it to the right angle.

Traveling with the parasol is a breeze – the umbrella has a compact fold and can be detached from the clamp to reduce the length for packing purposes.

What I like best about the ShadyBaby is the quality of the product. The umbrella, clamp, and adjusting knobs are sturdy, and the fabric is soft and water resistant (in case the sun goes away and rain clouds appear).
