Abstract
An improved material for use in juvenile products has utility as a canopy covering, for example, a playyard structure or stroller. The improved material substantially blocks visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light from passing through to the child or infant and provides protection from this potentially harmful radiation. Blocking infrared radiation also advantageously prevents heat build up in the juvenile product. The preferred construction includes a fabric layer and a metalized layer to form a lightweight and flexible material.
