what parents are saying
Received this as a gift and it didn't fit our car seat well, kept sliding off and shifting. Cool concept - like that it zips apart, but not universal to all car seats. (Aug 25, 2021)

We love that this has mesh on the sides to allow for airflow, but also keep the bugs out. I wish the top cover was not solid and was also mesh for more visibility to my baby. May 28, 2023

Useful to block sun safely during summer without worrying about overheating. Need to be aware of sun angle as sides are just mesh. Used a few times in the rain. Cumbersome to put on and pack away. Jan 13, 2023

Loved the cover! Keeps baby away from germs and protects from the sun with the built in spf 25 Apr 30, 2021

Absolutely loved this when I took the baby on walks in the hot Arkansas Summer Apr 06, 2020

Great coverage, easy to fold/unfold and attach quickly. While some kids may not like being covered/confined, our little one loved it. We found it breathable and easy to pack to take on vacation! Jul 31, 2019

Great addition to the infant car seat for sun protection while clipped into the stroller base Jul 12, 2019

My son was an infant in the summer and this was great to keep the sun off of him and bugs away, but it was a haste at times. Would have been easier if a larger sunshield was part of the car seat. Jun 18, 2019

We live in the South with all of the sun and bugs. This canopy was a LIFESAFER with our twins. It made going for walks sun safe before they could use sunscreen and kept them protected from mosquitos. Apr 14, 2019

Only used a handful of times. Still allowed too much sun in. Good for keeping bugs and strangers out, but not sunlight. Jul 12, 2018

Great for summer babies! Provide sun shield on top without blocking air flow on the sides! Doesn't get hot in the seat like covering with a fabric shield! Jun 24, 2017

This is nice for summer when there are bees around or mosquitoes. On our particular car seat, there's a tiny gap on each side when it's on the car seat but it's never caused any issues, id recommend. May 06, 2017

This is a great addition to my Mesa. I love the fact that it keeps the sun off my baby along with the bugs. It also keeps strangers from reaching for your baby! I love how it folds right away. Oct 08, 2016

Love this - keeps baby protected from the elements as well as other people's hands!!! Aug 18, 2016

Love this for the Mesa. It creates this little cocoon for baby boy and he sleeps so easy with this on. Also, it easily keeps prying hands away from babes face! Jul 13, 2015

Fits on our Chicco Key Fit. Great way to add extra shade cover to infant seat and also bug-net! Jun 25, 2015

Got this but never used it - not necessary Dec 10, 2014
Fairly pointless. Does block wind but sides are mesh so sun and wind still goes right through. Dec 09, 2014
Hi Mieke! Thanks for your feedback. The Cabana provides coverage from the sun's harmful rays while allowing airflow. For additional coverage, unroll top portion to protect from sun/wind/rain. The mesh vents are intentional and necessary for appropriate ventilation for baby. Thank you! Dec 09, 2014

Keeps the sun off, in other words, does its job. Takes a little work to figure out how to refold each time. Oct 30, 2014

Provides just enough shade and privacy. Aug 30, 2014

We got great use out of this. Its great for shade and to Keep bugs away. So much safer than a blanket which can sufficate a child. Plus it is approved to stay on the carseat in the car. Oct 22, 2019

Good bug protection. Mediocre sun shade. Terrible with wind/rain. Used on a Chicco Keyfit 30/Bob stroller combo that got lots of compliments (and keeps strangers' hands off baby too!) Mar 18, 2019
Hi there! We are sorry to hear this. The Cabana Infant Car Seat Sunshade has UPF protection and blocks 80% of the sun's harmful rays. There is a fold out wind/rain protection layer, for additional rain protection, we also have a RainShield for infant carriers. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Experience team for more information on product usage. www.uppababy.com/contact/ Mar 18, 2019

Received as a gift not sure we’ll be able to use it our LO might be grown out of the baby carrier. Something to consider - short term use. Apr 09, 2018

We got so much use out of this specifically because it fit perfect on our bouncer seat too. Outdoors, on the boat, on the beach, perfect for mosquito protection. Jan 23, 2017

Purchased the UppaBaby shade because I have the UppaBaby Mesa infant seat and like it when brands match. It's the best bug protector but as a sun shade, I tend to use my fabric, Common Goods cover. Sep 23, 2016
