At last, the sun is making an appearance, good moods and plenty of family time outdoors are guaranteed.

Because just a canopy on the carrycot and seat unit is not enough to protect your child's delicate skin. In our extensive range, you are sure to find the perfect sun canopy for your my junior® companion.

Parasol or sun sail for the pram: which is better?

Which sunshade you choose is entirely up to you. What’s important is that the umbrella or sail, in addition to your pram’s canopy, provides protection from sunlight and prevents your baby from getting sunburnt. Both variants provide shade and are compatible with many models from our shop.

Why do I need a sunshade or sun sail for the pram?

A trip to the city or a walk together – UV protection is essential for your little one’s safety. Sunshades or sun sails prevent exposure to sunlight and are an absolute must, especially on prams for young children or babies.

Never cover your pram with cloths. Most fabrics do not provide any sun protection factor and are not breathable, which means your child receives too little oxygen and faces the risk of suffocation.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of parasols and sun canopies for prams?

In our sun protection collection, you’ll find the right sun canopy to match the colour of your pushchair, so you don’t have to compromise on style when it comes to sun protection.
