    Default Is there a sunshade/canopy I can buy for my Chicco Keyfit?

    Does the Kiddopotamus fit on a car seat?

    I would like to be able to have a shade over her when going for walks this summer. I also am wondering if I can do something to make the sun canopy better on the car seat?

    Also, I think she might have gotten a little burned in the car yesterday. : ( I was driving for 30 minutes and she was a little fussy, and this morning her forehead looks a little pink. I'm going to get a hat to put on her next time, but wondered if there is a better solution?

    Hmm...I loved that shade for my stroller, never tried it on a carseat :/
    Might be worth a shot, though, it's cheap enough (used on ebay, even?) to use on a stroller for years to come.
    I'd get window tinting film if professional window tinting isn't in the budget right now... http://www.amazon.com/Insta-Cling-Ex...=pd_sim_auto_1 I only say that because I easily spent more than the cost of window tinting and was never particularly happy with the bubbles in the stick on film, the lame suction cups, or the rollershades that are just missiles aimed at my head in a crash.

    i have this for my Snugride (i'm sure it would fit on Keyfit as well).

    i love it. keeps sun out, and keeps bugs out too. good for the winter as well, to keep wind out.

    OMG THANK YOU. This will be great! I have been worried about bugs (we live in an area that has a huge - literally - mosquito problem, imo) on evening walks but do not want to use bug repellant.

    Jools - I agree, I dislike the air bubbles on those shades but that seems to be the best option for now. I bought some last night and put them up. Next time we buy a car we will go with the tinted window option for sure.

    Thank you both!
