How to shade baby from sun in stroller

We have the Chicco keyfit car seat which snaps down into the uppa baby stroller. When out for walks I can unzip the back of the car seat canopy so it's extended further over LO body but then he gets sun on his head. Any recommendations for sunshade or how to keep him from getting sun when outside??

    We have an uppababy (though we have the Mesa car seat) and I double up a muslin blanket and drape it over the stroller, I still want there to be some air flow in there.

  • I also use a light blanket to cover what the canopy doesn't cover- my Aden & Anais blankets are perfect. If needed the stroller also has a rain cover thingy that folds out to cover the bottom part of his carseat.

  • I use an A+A muslin blanket as well when my baby is in his car seat.

  • Blanket or I just got from a neighbor a car seat canopy thing which velcros to the handle of the car seat in the snap n go
  • Ok thanks everyone. I was doing that at first with the A&A blankets but worried about LO getting too hot.
  • Muslin blankets are equivalent to SPF 5. I would not rely on this for sun protection.
