Visor on a carriage: the subtleties of the choice of protection from the sun

Walking on clean air has a positive effect on the human body. Even better are such walks for small children. But when you walk with your child in the open sun, you may have some difficulties. For example, hot sun rays can shine directly into the eyes of a baby.

When driving, the stroller can be directed by the open side both towards itself and against. If the stroller is aimed at the open part of the sun, then you need special protection in the form of a visor. In this case, the sun will not have a negative impact on the child.

The visor, which is used in wheelchairs, is provided by the manufacturer at the factory. But sometimes it is not very good and does not protect against ultraviolet rays. To get rid of the sun, it is recommended to choose a stroller, in which the visor is lowered to the bumper. So the whole body of the child will be protected. In addition, there are strollers with a special flip handle, which can easily change the large visor.

It is possible to find the appropriate device in children's stores, but its price may be higher than that of the stroller itself. In addition, there are no guarantees that this visor is suitable in size to your wheelchair. Under these circumstances, you can sew a sun fixture by hand. There is nothing difficult.

Visors should be with a special insert made of mesh. It is necessary for the child to be seen. You can see in the stores a special hood for baby strollers. Looks like this hood on the peak of the cap. It is convenient in that it is suitable for any stroller and provides good protection from the sun. For wheelchairs, special nets are also sold, which do not allow the sun to pass. They will be suitable for hot weather.

If you have friends with a small child, then you can consult with them. The answer to this question can also be found on special women's forums. There are those who are willing to share their tips and recommendations. If you have already purchased a baby carriage and intend to buy an additional visor, about what types of sun protection exist and what are their differences, you can learn from this article.

There are different ways of mounting the visor on the stroller.

• Mount on extra zipper. One side of the zipper is sewn to the visor, the other is sewn to the stroller (best on the sewing machine). A visor attached with a zipper, bends inside the standard visor stroller. If the additional part of the protection and the zipper is sewn over the old visor from the stroller, then the zipper will hide the strap.

• Special mount. It comes immediately with the purchase of a visor. The fastening is a rubber band, which does not need to be sewn, while it can be easily detached from one stroller and fastened to the other. This method is versatile and suitable for different strollers. This option is the most popular. But not all models have a visor that tucks inside.
• Button buttons. Probably the most convenient way to mount. Buttons or buttons will need to be stitched to the standard visor of the pram.
• Special additional peak or extender. This option is sewn to the native visor.

You can always sew an extra visor for the stroller yourself. For this you need to know what kind of visor you need. It is selected by density or thickness. And also in advance you need to understand how the additional visor will be folded.

First you need to determine what fabric we will make protection from the sun in the form of a visor.

• Soft jacket fabric with two layers of impregnation. Able to protect not only from the sun, but also from the rain. Adjustment additional visor should be required. It should be easily adjusted at any height. You also need to choose a frame that will be sheathed with a cloth. First you need to soak it in a basin of foam for twenty minutes and then rinse. Also, it can be washed in a washing machine with a temperature of up to thirty degrees and be sure to stroke. You need to do this without steam, you can through a special fabric.
• Medium density fabric. It will not be tightened with a cord (as the first option) and will only tuck inside the factory visor (for this, the visor must assume a zippered mount). As in the first embodiment, before washing this visor, you need to get the frame and repeat all the actions mentioned above.

• Rigid fabric filled with izolon. In this embodiment, the inner side is made of rigid material, and the outer one is made of jacket fabric, which must be very well aligned. Before washing, the frame is removed. You won't be able to get the parts out of the isolon, you will have to wash it together with them (if you need to get them, you can also sew such a construction), so only handwashing is suitable: you need to make foam in the basin and leave the visor there for twenty minutes and then rinse him. To iron such a visor is not necessary, because you will not be able to get izolon.

Types of fabrics from which the visors are made:

• jacket monophonic fabric inside and outside;
• jacket fabric with a pattern inside and outside;

• jacket fabric with a pattern on the outside;
• sometimes inside they order a fabric with small patterns, for example, with animals, so that the child looks at them.
