- What advantages do Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors have over using a blanket, towel, or opaque materials opaque materials to protect a child while in an infant carrier, stroller, carriage or jogging type sport vehicle?

Blankets , towels, sheets and opaque materials are often used as sun screens, but these significantly increase the heat within the infant carrier, stroller, carriage, or jogging type vehicle, making it uncomfortable or even dangerously hot for the child. The materials used in blankets, towels or sheets are opaque, and prevent parents/guardians from observing the child, and the child from observing the outside world. Blankets, towels or sheets sometimes have loose knitting, allow flying insects to creep through them, possibly harming the child. These factors may serve to confuse the child or to upset its normal breathing rhythms.

Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors keep the child cooler, are light weight, are more convenient, and are safer. The protectors allow the baby to see out and the parent/guardian to see in, affording both "peace of mind". They absorb the heat of the sun, and don't increase the heat within the infant carrier, stroller, carriage, or jogging type vehicle, as do the use of blankets. The uniquely woven and specially treated material keeps out most harmful flying insects. During windy conditions, the protectors protect the child's eyes, skin and body, and remain in place because they easily attach to the handles and frames of infant carriers, strollers, carriages, and jogging type vehicles by use of hook and loop straps and/or elastic. The protectors allow a child to feel safe, be comfortable, and to breathe normally.

What advantages do Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors have over using extended canopies to protect a child while in an infant carrier, stroller, carriage or jogging type sport vehicle?

Extended canopies only offer limited protection when the sun is directly overhead, and act like opaque materials such as blankets, towels and sheets when fully covering the cockpit. The materials used in extended canopies significantly increase the heat within the infant carrier, stroller, carriage, or jogging type vehicle, making it uncomfortable or even dangerously hot for the child. These factors may serve to confuse the child or to upset its normal breathing rhythms.

Sasha's Sun Protectors offer COMPLETE front, side and rear protection while being BREATHABLY SAFE and SEE-THROUGH allowing parents/guardians to observe the child at all times to make sure that the child is safe and comfortable. Sasha's Sun protectors also allow the child to see out at all times, preventing the child from becoming frightened or upset.

Most infant carriers, strollers, carriages and jogging type sport vehicles come with a sun canopy. Aren't these canopies sufficient enough to protect babies and children from the sun?

Canopies help to protect a child somewhat from the sun, however, they are not designed to protect the child totally from the harmful heat and glare of the sun. And they give very little protection against the wind and harmful flying insects.

Sasha's protectors cover the canopy, the front and sides of an infant carrier, stroller, carriage or jogging type sport vehicle in such a way as to absorb up to 65% of the sun's heat, glare, and Ultraviolet UVA/UVB rays ( the maximum protection while being SEE-THROUGH and BREATHABLY SAFE ) and thus provide additional much needed protection. Furthermore, the protectors cover open and exposed areas where the child's head and body rest, and continue to extend downward to the leg and feet area, thus providing genuine protection.

Have Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors been tested for safety?

Yes, testing was performed by a U.S. government approved independent testing laboratory. The uniquely woven and specially treated material passed the requirements of Toy Manufacturers of America (TMA), "Voluntary standard specification for reduction of DEHP in PVC pacifiers and teethers" and the requirements of ASTM F963-96a, "Standard consumer safety specification on toy safety," Section 4.3.8. It was found to be Non-Toxic as defined by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act Regulations, Title 16, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1500.3. It is considered flame retardant as it has been tested and is in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.302. It is lead-free as it passed the strict European Union "RoHS" Test guidelines. It was also tested in accordance with ASTM Standard Test Method E903 and found to have an Ultraviolet UVA/UVB blockage of 67.7%.

How do I know if Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protector, Rain/Weather Shield, or Travel/Storage Bag is the correct one for me to order for my infant carrier, stroller, or jogging type sports vehicle?

There are many Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protector models, Rain/Weather Shields, Travel/Storage Bags. Each of our individual product pages lists the Infant Carrier/Car Seat, Stroller and Jogging Stroller Sun, Wind & Insect Protector, Rain/Weather Shield or Travel/Storage Bag model for the transportation vehicle you are considering ordering, have ordered, have/own. Please refer to these pages.

What Ultraviolet UVA/UVB sun protection is provided by Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors?

The uniquely woven high quality material used in the manufacturing of Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors has been treated with a special coating that will protect a child from up to 67.7% of the sun's heat, glare, and Cancer Causing Ultraviolet UVA/UVB rays. The material is specially designed to be used as an insect protector also. The tightly woven material prevents most harmful flying insects from penetrating it, as well as deflecting strong winds (dust and debris), and therefore protects a child's delicate skin, body and eyes. Sasha's protectors offer the maximum protection while being SEE-THROUGH and BREATHABLY SAFE!

Note: Please be aware of sun covers that say they offer 80-95% sun protection. These do offer a higher degree of sun protection, but they use opaque materials to do so, and these materials hinder visibility (keeping your child in the dark), and hamper breathing - 2 most important features that a Sun Protector should have..

Are Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors easy to install and remove?

All of the models are designed for ease of use. They are user-friendly.

If my Sasha's Sun Protector gets dirty how do I clean it?

Simply sponge wash the protector using mild soap and warm water. Doing this will allow the protector to last a long time.

Can Sasha's Sun, Wind & Insect Protectors be used on objects other than infant carriers, carriages, strollers, and jogging type vehicles?

Yes, several of our protector models can be used as protection for other objects. Our Single Stroller Model 401, and Double Stroller Model 501 can be easily used to cover a playpen, affixed to hang from an awning or umbrella, placed over a house or car window or etc. It can be used anywhere it can be attached, and where there is a need to protect a loved one. You can use it in the car, at the beach, in a park, in the backyard, or by the pool, etc., thus keeping children and adults cool, protected and comfortable while outdoors. This is due to their design, size, and ability to attach easily (uses hook and loop straps), and rectangular shape.

Do Sasha's Sun, Wind, and Insect Protectors offer any protection during cold weather?

Yes, the unique properties of the woven and specially treated material used in Sasha's Sun, Wind, and Insect Protectors, form a "thermal barrier" between the baby and the outside weather. This thermal barrier keeps conditions warmer in the Infant Carrier, Stroller, Carriage or Jogging Type Sports Vehicle during cold weather by retaining any heat. They also cut down the wind chill factor on cold windy days.

What makes Sasha's Sun, Wind, and Insect Protectors a good value?

Value measures differently among people. Many of our customers have purchased our protectors even though they represent a portion of the price they paid for their infant carrier, stroller or jogging stroller. They do so because they realize, as parents, that cost can never be equated with the importance of protecting a child's health against the sun's harmful heat, glare and cancer causing ultraviolet UVA/UVB rays, the wind, dust and debris, and flying insects. Since Sasha's protectors offer parents this protection, we feel that customers purchasing Sasha's products receive great value. Read our Testimonials to see what some of our customers have to say.
