  • Publication number: 20180127015
    Abstract: The system provides a roller shade apparatus that can be affixed to any of a plurality of infant and toddler carriers (including strollers, playpens, car seats, rockers, and the like). A pair of adjustable clips allow for the roller shade to be mounted on carriers of a variety of configurations. Once in place the shade can be unrolled to the desired length and the length can be fixed via a novel attachment clamp that can be used in conjunction with a stroller screen. A slot portion of the clamp slides over and is attached to an adjustable strap at the bottom of the shade at a location on the strap that allows the clamp to attach to a stroller frame, canopy or other part of the stroller structure.
