Summer is perfect for long walks with a stroller. But strong sunlight can be uncomfortable – and even dangerous – for your baby. Many parents solve this by covering the stroller with a blanket or muslin cloth.

However, this can actually be risky.

⚠️ A covered stroller can overheat quickly

When you fully cover a stroller, you block airflow. Heat builds up inside and creates a “greenhouse effect.”

???? The temperature inside can rise much higher than outside.

Babies cannot regulate their body temperature as well as adults, which makes overheating much more dangerous.

✔️ The right solution: shade with airflow

The key rule:

Protect from the sun, but never fully block airflow.

That’s where products from T-TOMI come in.

☁️ Muslin cloth – a summer essential

Muslin is one of the best materials for hot weather.
