Does NOT work unless stroller has pre-existing canopy/shade
Our umbrella stroller does not have a canopy/shade, so I read some reviews and the product description and figured this would do the job. The canopy came in the mail a few days later. As soon as I opened it, I knew I was screwed. It is one of those pop-up shades that you can fold up into a circle to store. In other words, it is a flat, black oval. The outside of the package says "Use on buggies that don't have a canopy or extend existing canopy just by pulling it down." Then I read the directions and the VERY FIRST THING it says is "Your stroller must already have a sun shade (or top/roof) structure for this product work as designed. It works as an extension for current shades. It is not a replacement for those strollers without any shade protection to all."
Oh.
So I tried to make it work anyway, but if there is nothing for it to anchor and conform to, it isn't going to happen. I'm sure it works great on a stroller with a shade, but I'm giving it 1 star for a poor product description. I hope this saves someone else the trouble.
