It took me a couple of attempts to get the fitting nice and secure, but once I had tightened the adjustable straps at the back I discovered it fit nicely. The shade also as two clips at the side to attach to the buggy frame.
As you can see from my picture above, the shade extends the hood by a considerable margin and covers the foot of the pram nicely. If I turn the seat around so the pram is rear facing, it has the added bonus of shading the second seat too!
It is also lightweight and folds up into a nice small package which can easily be popped into your changing bag or handbag. We took it to the Jubilee Family Festival in London with us, along with raincovers as we were not sure what the weather had in store for us.
I am glad we took it, as the sun made an appearance in the afternoon.
We took our smaller, Maxi Cosi Noa buggy with us to London and it was with this I encountered my first problem. There was no bar to secure the side attachment to, as it is one solid unit. However, I was able to attach it to the buggy hood at the side. It wasn’t perfect as the Noa’s hood is quite flimsy, but it held and did the job. I am not sure if it would feel secure on a windy day though, although it couldn’t detach itself.

It gave me peace of mind that whoever was in the buggy was sheltered from the sun, and kept nice and cool. If you are going abroad to sunnier shores then this is a must have item!
