- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer.

- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now.

- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone.

What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest.

Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

I just got this recently. It does what I needed it to do which is always block the sun from my daughter’s eyes. She hates the sun in her eyes so I was always having to walk backwards if the sun was facing towards her. It was easy to attach (attaches w/4 string ties). I use it w/ a MacLaren Quest.
It is not super aesthetically pleasing. My husband says it looks like one of those “granny” hats. But the color matches fine w/my stroller. The other downsides I see are: 1) I am going to have to unattach it if I want to fold up the stroller. Luckily I don’t have to do this too often since this stroller lives in our house. 2) It is harder to get baby in and out of the stroller w/this canopy on b/c it doesn’t fold back and so I have to bend very low to pull her out and she hits her head on the canopy sometimes, but it is soft so it doesn’t hurt. This could be due to the fact that I did not install it as far back as it could go since I did not want to cover up the “window” that is in the stroller canopy so that I can still see my baby.
One last word – this size is “compact” but it is a pretty decent size. I can’t imagine how I would have fit the larger size one on my stroller. It probably depends on the size of your stroller.
But all in all I am satisfied with my purchase since it is does what I needed.

We use this sunshade on our Phil and Teds Sport model – takes a minute to get it set up but works excellent. Especially for loong periods out in the sun – covers your child completely. The canopy on the Phil and Teds is not great so anytime were going to be in the sun for a period of time I put it on. I also purchased the Protect A Bub backseat/tandem cover – again takes a min to set up but great su protection!

Review by A. Tausch for Protect-a-Bub Single Compact Sunshade, Black

I bought the Protect-a-Bub shade for my newly purchased jogging stroller. It is fantastic! The biggest issue I have with most strollers is the lack of shade provided to the child.
This shades my daughter about 80% when I put it on. It is easy to use and folds out of the way it its own little pouch when not in use. It has ties to attach it to the stroller, which are handy and allow me to customize the way it fits on the stroller.
There are a few drawbacks, like it does make folding the stroller difficult if you are out and about. Since my jogging stroller is so big, I do not end up folding it up much when I am out. My daughter is a toddler, so she can crawl in and out fairly easily with this on, but it could be troublesome if the child was small. Additionally, it is a little funny looking (looks like the stroller is wearing an old fashioned ladies hat).
But the shade it gives her more then makes up for it! She never gets burned in the stroller. Additionally, we live close to multiple theme parks. This makes hot sunny days bearable for her in her stroller. She can sit or nap with ease and shaded from the hot sun. When the shade is not needed for the day, I untie it and pop it back into its little carry bag. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for additional shade on their stroller.

It looks a little bit funny – like an Amish buggy – but it covers my baby much better than just the stroller shade alone.

This product is fantastic. It fits perfectly on our Chicco Cortina. The existing shade on the Cortina is thick and nice but almost worthless because it’s too small. This product is simply necessary and it works just as I’d hoped. The angles to block sun so it does a good job even when walking towards the sun. When my baby is in shorts on really hot days, I have to either cover his legs or put a lot of sunblock on because they do get some sun, but most of him is in the shade. If they made an even bigger one, or a UV protective bubble (just kidding), I’d buy the biggie.
