ii. Sun Shield + Rain Shield

The Sun Shield is a lightweight, packable bicycle canopy with UPF 50-rated protection to safeguard your kids from harmful UV rays. Designed for maximum airflow, it helps your little passengers stay cool on hot days. The Rain Shield, a waterproof add-on that transports easily in a pannier, quickly snaps onto the Sun Shield to transform it into an all-weather canopy that keeps kids dry in sudden downpours.
