I put a clamp on a wagon for an umbrella

We go to the flea market every so often but now that it's hot we wanted some shade for the wagon our kid rides in.

If we have it just resting inside she either tosses it or it slides out. We thought maybe getting those big wagons with the canopy but then I remembered these little photography clamps.
Seems to work really well and would work on the stroller also

But how will the kids learn to fear and respect the sun?

Umbrella might be a bit too big and if I use a smaller one it might be too low

Might be better mounted more centered

I did the same thing.

Then learned walmart and other stores have covers (wagon canopy) that click into the wagon. I got mine for $10, but I'm sure the price is higher now.

Like this but it wasn't this exactly.

Haha its a Compaq server rack I found on Craigslist, I have a media server in there, a low power one that does backups, and another i7 server that's unused. I have my fiber ont, hue bridge, some raspberry pis in a server case so they get cooled from the fans.

Then I have a unifi dream machine and a 48 port poe switch
