Although I have cut off the rear short strings, because they were always in the way, and at the front cords I have Velcro fasteners specially sewn, because they were a little too short to me, in order to tie it convenient, but since I own this product I the screen from the stroller never once used. The thing is just so much better. Makes a lot more shade, can be easily adjusted, keeps every normal gust of, weighs nothing, and is packed away quickly (you should stop having the storage bag while to pack it very small back can). And it still has the left and right a few pockets, is also great!
