Finally we have 80-degree weather for a whole weekend in my area! And yesterday made me realize how much I need to get a sunshade for my Twin Runabout. I got my new stroller back in Sept. but I said to myself I have plenty of time to get a sunshade. Wow time goes by fast. So what sunshade do you recommend? Thanks!

I'm in the same boat and haven't found one that works yet, but I can tell you what hasn't worked so far: First I tried 2 single Rayshades but they are too wide and there is no good place to secure them on the side that's in the middle of the stroller. I also tried a "Baby On Board" clip-on shade that I found at BRU. It fit a bit better but was a general pain to deal with (very flimsy and comes down at a very odd angle so that it is practically touching the child) and my 2 year old HATED it.

I'm thinking that I'll end up needing to use a double Rayshade, which is a bummer b/c the independent canopies were one of the things I liked about the Valco. Maybe someone else out there has found something that works better...

The double Protect-a-bub works. It both fits and folds up with the stroller. I wouldn't use my Valco much if I didn't have this, the kids would be _SO_ unhappy.

HTH,

Ann, if you don't mind me asking, how do your kids like the mesh sides? Did it take some time to get use to it?

Thanks for the help,

Nope, they both just went in and rode fine. They're both big sit-straight-uper's, though, so leaning back is NOT an option, lol.

We rarely lean the seats in this back, I find that, undoing and re-doing the straps, the most annoying part (other than the rotten sunshade) of this stroller.

HTH,
