umbrella stroller & canopies

We have the Maclaren Triumph - love how light it is and the way it feels, but the canopy is fail.

The sun seems to bother Andrew when it's really bright, like today.  We do sunscreen and a hat with a brim, and have tried sunglasses about a dozen times (not yet successful) but wish the canopy on his stroller could rotate forward to provide more shade. 

I was wondering if other umbrella strollers have this option? (Or just larger travel type strollers?)

Also, does anyone know of anyway to modify the canopy or buy some kind of add on? 

I'm going to look into rigging something up, I think.

    We bought this, and love it!

    *not sure if it's that exact one, but we bought it from One Step Ahead.

    We have the exact same problem.  I am going to look into that extra big shade thing because that looks like it would work perfectly!

    That shade thing looks like it might work!

    Our Chicco umbrella stroller's canopy can flip to the front (so does our Graco Quatro tour) - but Kaylee HATES it because then she can't see anything and she grabs and pushes at it. (she also hates the sun in her eyes so we can't win.)

    The shade thing works great with both our jogger stroller and umbrella stroller :)

    Thanks!  I have the same problem as Kathy.  I ended pulling Jake backwards in FL!  I was looking at extenders that were pricier, but I'll take $15 any day.
