Sun Smarties Clip-on Stroller Umbrella

We purchased this to use on our trip to Florida and Disney World. I wanted something that would block more sun during our days at Disney and at the beach. All I can say is this is a complete waste of money. It was flimsy, wouldn't stay in place, and broke the first time I used it. My advice, don't waste your time or money on this item.

Love this umbrella, but it wouldn't clip tightly to my cheap little umbrella stroller. So I went to the big home supply store and bought a Crown Bolt
3/4 in. Steel Clamp Loom in the electrical department (near the light bulbs). I disassembled the umbrella clamp and inserted the new rubber covered clamp and it worked perfectly after that!

I bought this because someone gave me a stroller with no canopy. It would have been great, however, it was difficult to clip onto the bulky stroller and kept sliding off.

I got this to shade my baby in a cheap umbrella stroller, but it wouldn't clamp on right enough. We went to [@] & got an additional clamp to place inside the clamp & now it works perfectly! [@]

I think this is a great idea but it is not built for all strollers. I have a travel system stroller with a built in umbrella but was looking for more sun protection for my toddler. The Sun Smarties clip umbrella kept falling down and twisting as we pushed the stroller. I returned it but think it would work better for another type of stroller.

To take him on stroller walks

I got two for my double stroller when the Ray Shade didn't work. It clips on easily to the side of a Baby Jogger City Select stroller. Even though the shade on the stroller is larger than other stroller models, it still isn't big enough to shade my twins legs and feet. So I bought these. They work great and aren't much higher than the stroller shades anyway. It covers both babies legs perfectly. I am very happy With my purchase.

I love this stroller umbrella. It is made well, sturdy, has good coverage...it's almost perfect. My only issue is that it does not clip well onto strollers with rounded bars. The umbrella slides out of position. I had to fashion a wrap for the stroller frame so that the umbrella would have something to hold onto. Even with the work that took (and it required several tries to find something that works), I still think it's a great stroller umbrella...better than others I have found.

too weak, but served the purpose

This is very helpful in blocking the shade! It is easy to set up and stow away.

Did not stay on my umbrella stroller very well. The first time I went to bend it, it broke. Very unstable.

I have had the umbrella for over a year. I bought it to use with my Volo that doesn't have a canopy, and have tried to use also on an infant car seat, and for additional shade with my peg-perego and sit and stand strollers that do already have canopies. It opens and closes easily, and is very durable, but it doesn't stay in place unless you can figure out a way to make it lean on something else (like another canopy or the stroller handles) for stability. Otherwise it falls down no matter how you twist and turn the adjustable arm. I have four kids, so I have my masters in figuring out to best use baby products, and it is sad to me that I just cannot get this one to be useful. It gets two stars because when I can lean it on a canopy, or get my toddler to help hold it over him on the bench of the sit and stand, it does provide the right amount of extra shade.

I haven't tried using this on the umbrella stroller yet, but on the stroller that is part of our travel system, it's horrible. It's hard to adjust, and when I do get it in the right position it eventually just falls over. Haven't even bothered trying it on something else. Maybe it would be good on a lawn chair.

It simply was hard to get to stay put. I tried it on a wagon, a stroller, and a tricycle, and it flopped around on all of them. I stopped trying after a while.

I added this umbrella to my sit and stand stroller so my toddler can get better shade when we walk around places like the zoo
