What are the measurements of the sunshades and rain/wind/snow covers?
 
We get many questions about whether our sunshades and rain/wind/snow covers fit certain types of strollers, joggers and car seats.  We intentionally do not provide measurements because they would not be useful.  Our products are adjustable to fit virtually all canopied strollers, joggers and car seats.  In other words, our single sunshade (canopy style) will fit all canopied strollers.  Our tandem rain cover will fit all tandem strollers.  It has an adjustable centre piece that folds over itself for smaller tandem strollers and unfolds to expand for larger tandem strollers.  Please trust us....it is a VERY rare occasion that our product does not fit your make/model stroller and we will take it back in those very rare instances.

Do the sunshades fit a stroller that has no canopy?

No. The sunshades are designed to significantly extend an existing stroller canopy. There must be some sort of canopy on your stroller or jogger to support the sunshade. We are in the process of designing a sunshade to fit strollers that do not have any canopy, but at this time, our products require a canopy.

I have a tandem stroller and want the single sunshade. What do I do?

The Protect-a-Bub USA stroller sunshades fit twin side by side strollers. If you want the sunshades for your tandem stroller, you will need to purchase two single sunshades. One sunshade will cover the little one who rides in front and one shades your little rear passenger.

Why aren't there instructions to attach my single or twin sunshade?

Each stroller is a little different. In addition, everyone's taste is different. Some people like to attach their shade so that it is a significant extension of the canopy. Other people would prefer to extend the canopy by 2 or 3 inches.

What is the difference between the car seat sunshade and the stroller sunshade?

The car seat sunshade attaches to any car seat and does not require a canopy. It ties to the car creating a full shade for your little one. Our car seat sunshade has been crash tested for safety. The single sunshade has a wire so it will maintain its shape and coverage even on the windy days.  The single sunshade can be used in the car with canopied car seats, but it has not been tested for this purpose.

Do I need a canopy on my car seat to use the car seat shade?

No. The car seat sunshade attaches to any car seat and does not require a canopy. It ties to the car creating a full shade for your little one. Our car seat sunshade has been crash tested for safety. The single sunshade has a wire so it will maintain its shape and coverage even on the windy days.  The single sunshade can be used in the car with canopied car seats, but it has not been tested for this purpose.

I am confused, does your car seat sunshade require a canopy or not?
 
We have two shades the single sunshade that does require a canopy.  This has a shaping mechanism that requires support from the canopy of a stroller, car seat-stroller combination, carriage or jogger.  Our car seat sunshade does not require a canopy.  There is no shaping mechanism in this sunshade which is why it can be used in the car without a canopy car seat.

Should I use the single Protect-a-Bub sunshade for the jogger or buy the jogger sunshade? Should I buy the Deluxe or the canopy style shade?

The jogger sunshade is a full coverage sunshade, attaching underneath the footplate of your jogger. The decision is yours - what type of shade do you prefer?  The same goes for the deluxe sunshade; do you want a full coverage shade or the canopy style shade?  While the Deluxe sunshade converts into a canopy style shade, if you plan to use the shade mostly in the canopy style, we recommend you buy the single sunshade.
