 Topic: Sun shades for double buggies
Posted: 12 February 2011 at 9:16am |
|
I have a Phil & Teds Sport with doubles kit and Ollie (3 months) is now riding in the back seat.
I have a double sun shade, but I want to be able to just shade Ollie at the back. Jackson hates having the cover over the front and as I lather him in sunscreen, hat, visor etc, I don't think it's that necessary. Ollie on the other hand, I really want to have a cover on.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

No answer sorry... Could you perhaps clip it on to just the back part maybe?

Yeah, that was what I was thinking.
Does anyone know if you can buy UV mesh anywhere? I could then do a hatchet job and try to make something that I could just clip in place?

If you can't find UV mesh, could you just get some cheap light fabric to peg over it? Although you wouldn't be able to see him through that.

Milliemoo - that looks great, but again it's just for the front, and I also want him to be able to see out.
Searched high and low for some sunshade fabric without luck. In the end I bought one of these: http://shop.philandteds.com/index.cfm?tmpl=butikk&a=product_inline&b_id=784124&b_kid=648481
And when I need more cover, I'll just use our single cover and clip in in place all nasty like.

we have the same issue! bad design of phil and teds i think - we gather the front part of the shade on top of the sun visor - put the back bit over the baby seat and then use 2 pegs to peg the sides down - works a treat.

Thanks crackars. Yes, I think they should design a rear seat mesh shade. It can't be rare that the big kid wants to be able to see?
Since doubling, I have noticed a bit more annoyance with our buggy. But the alternative was a side by side double, and I didn't want that.

Just a wee note: The SnoozeShade can fit the infant carrier on the P&T. If you have a look on FB, SnoozeShade has a page with lots of photos
But yes, it's a black out shade.
