Outlook Shade-a-Babe

I purchased a shade-a-babe when we decided to go on our first family holiday to Paphos in October 2008. Our son was 5 months at the time and I really wanted something to cover his pushchair and protect him from the sunshine for when we were out walking. My friend recommended the outlook shade-a-babe to me as they had previously purchased one and told me how wonderful it was. I purchased my shade-a-babe from the official website - www.shade-a-babe.co.uk, it cost me £32.99 which included postage. You can get second hand one's slightly cheaper on Ebay but I decided that I would like a new one as we have quite a few holidays coming up so would get our use out ...  Read the complete review

I bought a shade-a-babe when going on holiday to Malta with my then 5 month old baby. The shade-a-babe is a sunshield that will fit onto any buggy, it is available in a range of shapes and sizes from single to double buggy and a special 3 wheeler version, so you can buy one to fit any type of buggy. The shade fits on with velcro straps which can be cut to size if you wish (NB if you are planning to sell on, more of which later, don't cut the straps!). The shade I had lifted up to be folded on top of your buggy when not in use and had to be folded up to get your baby in and out - the most recent design has a zip for easier access - I've seen one in action and ...  Read the complete review

I bought this to take with us to Paphos July/Aug 2008. It's light to carry so didn't use up too much of my luggage allowance and was easy to transport whilst we were in Paphos itself. Unfortunately my 17 month old son hated it. We hadn't used it before we went away (has England had any sun this year??!) and only used it once whilst in Paphos. He cried constantly while it was over him, he was due to nap but refused to lay down whilst the cover was on, kicked and pulled at it until I found a shady place to raise the shade. There's no reasoning about the dangers of sun exposure with a 17 month old toddler so I didn't persist. Despite comments in other ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Shade-a-Babe from Outlook's website early last summer, and I have found it to be brilliant. I have a Mothercare stroller type buggy, and had previously used a parasol to shade my daughter, (then aged around 5-6 months). i found that the parasol had to be constantly repositioned, and was always blowing around in the wind. I had seen the Shade-a-Babe advertised in parenting magazines, and thought that it seemed like the ideal solution. It cost around £32.00, including the postage and packaging, and arrived within a few days. The Shade-a-Babe is made from a material that provides the baby with a high level of sun protection. It fits over the buggy and is ...  Read the complete review
