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? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. -------------  http://lilypie.com">

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. |
