  • Publication number: 20170253261
    Abstract: A stroller shade includes a unique clamp for attaching the shade to a stroller. The clamp has an inner clip and an outer clip. The outer clip selectively locks in place over the inner clip to prevent the inner clip from opening. When the outer clip is slid in a direction opposite an opening of the inner clip, one can open the inner clip to slide over a stroller bar to thereby allow one to clamp on a bar of a stroller thereby allowing one to attach the stroller shade to a stroller. The stroller shade attaches to a stroller to cover the seat area, in a first position, and rolled up, and held in place, to a top portion of a stroller, in a second position, while the stroller shade remains attached to the stroller, e.g. along a top portion of the stroller shade.
