The UPF measures the length of time a product gives protection (i.e.if it takes 10 minutes without protection to begin reddening to the skin, using a UPF10 fabric theoretically prevents reddening 10 times longer - about 1 hour 40 minutes example only).

Information about the Outlook Shade-a-babe

The shade-a-babe is available in single or double (side by side) models.

The drop-down lower mesh on the double model has a central opening seam, allowing you to have the lower mesh in the down position on one side of your double buggy and folded back out of the way on the other.

  • Apply SPF 15+ sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside, even on cloudy days
  • Try to keep children out of the sun between 11 am and 3 pm
  • Don't put children in vest tops or sundresses if they are spending a lot of time outdoors
  • Remember you can burn in the UK

Questions and Answers about the Outlook Shade-a-babe

Q. Why do I need a shade-a-babe?
A. Without any form of sun protection, a simple stroll in the park can damage your baby's skin for life. Some experts have suggested that just one severe case of sunburn in early life can significantly increases the risk of skin cancer later on. It is crucial to keep babies 0-6 months of age out of the sun completely and to be extremely vigilant in ensuring young children never get sun burned

Q. Do I need it in the UK
A. Yes - it is not just on foreign holidays that we need to take care. The British sun can be dangerous too, and is quite capable of burning your child. We recommend you use the shade-a-babe the way Australian mum's do - every time you go out with your baby.

Q. Is it more effective than other sun shades?
A. Yes - very few sun shades provide effective protection when on the move. A sun-shade can only offer full protection (including the lower body) when it covers the whole of the pram or pushchair. This is unlikely to happen in practice if:

  • Baby can't see out (or you can't see in).
  • The fabric does not allow free circulation of air. Inadequate ventilation will eventually lead to your baby getting hotter, not cooler. The lower mesh on some other sun shades is made from a white plastic based material which actually increases glare and may trap warmth.
  • If the fabric is flimsy it will tend to 'blow in' to the pram when on the move, smothering baby.

The shade-a-babe tackles all of these problems, which is why it is now the No. 1 brand in Australia.

Q. Do I need any other form of sun protection if I use the shade-a-babe?
A. Yes. Always use the shade-a-babe (or any pram or pushchair shade) in conjunction with other forms of sun protection, such as sunscreen, a sun-hat and protective clothing. See 'protect your baby in the sun' (above) for more information on measures you need to take.

Q. What does UPF stand for?
A. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and is the internationally recognised standard for measuring sun protection fabrics. It measures the length of time the fabric gives protection. For example, if it takes 10 minutes without protection to begin reddening the skin, using a UPF10 fabric theoretically prevents reddening 10 times longer - about 1 hour 40 minutes. UPF50+ is the maximum rating available, and means the fabric screens up to 99% of harmful rays.
