I'm loving the Maclaren Triumph I bought for our upcoming Disney trip - the Graco has been officially retired to the basement to wait for any additions to our family. I actually look forward to using the stroller now, and sometimes use it in situations where I might have just carried DD around before. However (and this would have been a problem with our model Graco stroller anyway) the sunshade is a wee bit small for Florida in July. Or probably really any month. ;)

So I'm debating between the RayShade (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007XTN6C/ref=pd_sxp_f/104-2872476-4764701?v=glance&s=baby) and the Protect-a-Bub canopy sunshade (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007D9PVU/ref=pd_cps_ba_1/104-2872476-4764701?v=glance&s=baby).

Obviously there's a pretty big price difference. Does anyone have any experience with either? I like the fact that the protect-a-bub has sides, even if they don't have the full UPF protection, but are they going to block DD's view too much? And does the RayShade get too "flappy" if there's any wind since it doesn't have the sides?

Thanks for any advice!
Sarah :)

I use the ProtectaBub on my Triumph. Gives great coverage and it's not as floppy as the Rayshade (which I tried on the stroller at the store). I'm in So. CA so we get a lot of sun here too!
