Any pool/beach sun shade recommendations?
We have a pool pass this summer, and I want to be able to keep baby shaded. I was originally thinking of getting a baby size one but something bigger would allow me or other kids to be in there with her which makes so much more sense.
The shade will be used primarily at a pool, sometimes on a (non-ocean) beach. Do you have one you love? Or one you hate that we should avoid? Any features that are must-have? Here are a couple I've looked at on Amazon: Option A Option B

We need one too. For me now. And baby later.
Costco usually has good sun shades. Haven't seen one at Sam's.

Re: Any pool/beach sun shade recommendations?
I like my sportbrella but it has to be staked down so not ideal for the pool. Also, from what I've seen, having one that zips closed is excellent- it's nice for a younger child to be able to change in it so you don't have to haul child plus newborn to the bathroom.

I have one similar to the ones you linked that I got from Costco a few years back. I love it and have used it extensively. Mine is open in front but the zippered option looks great.

Pretty well but we've never taken it to the ocean. Our beach is just on a little lake so there isn't as much wind.

Re: Any pool/beach sun shade recommendations?
They're probably all really similar, but we have this one and really like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's easy to put up and down and really big. The privacy feature of your Option A would be really nice, though.
