Is this tent actually UV protected? Will it block my 2-month old from the harsh summer sun?

My daughter is using this tent as I respond. She has a 7 month old and has used it many times on Sullivan's Island and Surfside Beach,SC. So far she has been well protected. I also bought the portable , clip on battery operated fan to keep her cool . She has been very happy with the tent.

It can block some part of the sun but not totally ... However it's a great stroller I have owned ...it's easy to use ; love it !

I bought this for my 2 year old grandson & he did enjoy using it. My daughter said their nanny enjoyed using it as sun protection for her young baby also. It is easy to set up and collapse and is nicely portable.

This is resistant, but not rainproof. Basically used as a sunshade to keep the sun out. Definitely worth the $$$

The fabric is advetised as being waterproof and breathable, but It's more like water resistant. The fabric on the roof starts to break down from the UV rays of the sun in about a year and seems to have a life of about 2 years. I'm on my third cover, but that is the price that you have to pay when you want to take care of your investment. Happy camping....

It does get hot in the sun. We have the infant swing attached in place of one of the regular swings and it is great. My daughter loves to swing too.

Took this tent to burning man last year, which is daytime temps of 85+ everyday for 10 days -- stood up very well to the wind, the canvas kept the playa (the fine dust) out and we had a battery powered fan going inside the tent for when we needed to knock out during the day. We had our tent pitched in the shade, and it worked out well for us. I won't say it was particularly pleasant to be inside during the hottest part of the day, even being in the shade with a fan, but it worked for us. That said, when this tent is closed up and in the sun it heats up mighty fast. If you don't have any shade to put it under and it's going to be 85 out I would recommend something that isn't made of canvas -- if keeping cool during the day is important to you.

No it does not. It is a sealed non adjustable unit. I just installed 3 of them so I can't tell you about their longevity but one of the other reviews said they shouldn't be in direct sunlight so I mounted a few inside vented metal boxes that the neon transformers that they replaced were in. The other one I used a small piece of thin sheet aluminum and bent a little cover over it about 2 inches away to allow airflow but still block the sun. Hope this helps,

We started using it when our youngest was 2 months and the sun shade covered her face completely then and still does. We absolutely love this stroller.

It is not needed in nice weather, however it is a must in the rain if you want to open the windows for ventilation. It also keeps the direct sun off the top of the tent on hot days and the tight fit helps hold the tent and frame if you don't stake the tent down, as well as protecting the top of the tent.

It's a mesh screen with a roll up cover, but it allows a lot of light to come in when open. Depending on the angle of the sun, you'll have to keep it closed to prevent a sunburn. I'll try to angle the tent so that the light doesn't shine in and can keep the window open to keep the tent cooler.

yes, very versitile in blocking at angles, you will have to turn it and move it etc as teh sun shifts, but we used it for four days in full sun and I never got burned once. We also hung our towels, it dried them and protected us.

Can I be honest.... Yes it will protect your trailer from UV, but the UV will destroy the cover. Living here in the California Central Coast we have a mild climate with lots of sunshine. I can expect to get about 2 years service out of this cover before it has to be replaced. I'm ok with that - because I want my trailer to last and look sharp. Keep your trailer clean - waxed - covered and it will give you years of enjoyment. Replacing the cover every few years is worth saving my investment. Enjoy - camp on!

From what I see it will do a great job blocking the sun but it is not water proof just water resistant. Hope this helps.

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.
