As a NHTSA-certified child passenger safety technician, part of the training we receive relates to other aspects of child safety beyond just car seats. This item would qualify as a projectile, meaning that in the event of a collision, the suction cups are not strong enough to hold the hard cylinder on the glass, therefore allowing the cylinder to fly through the air and possibly strike and injure an occupant of the vehicle. This does not only mean the child is in danger, but any occupant in the vehicle. A safe alternative is the type of sun shade that sticks or statics directly onto the window, plus this type can easily adapt to attach to any type of window in any position.

I received this shade for free when I bought other products from Babies R US.
My windows in the back have a curved edge to them. You have to place the shade high on the window in the straight area. Well you miss the whole lower corner of the window. The sun shines in through this lower corner. When I tried to move the shade lower on the window I could not fully close the window.
If you can get it for free, get it. Do not purchase this item.
I just recently went out and purchased new shade for my car to cover the corner this shade misses.

Do not waste your money on this roller shade. It is so cheaply made that the day after putting it in our car not only did the suction cups not stick anymore, but the rolling option broke as well. Not worth your money buy a more expensive roller shade!!

I PURCHASED THIS THINKING BABIES R US WOULD MAKE A QUALITY ITEM. WELL I FOUND IT TO BE UNSAFE, STOPPED WORKING THE VERY NEXT DAY I BOUGHT IT, NOT TO MENTION IT DOES NOT FIT SMALLER NEW CARS. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I really wanted sun shades for my car. This was nice, but expensive. I found a twin pack made by the First Years for about a buck more at another store.

They do a decent job, especially if you have a smaller car. I have a mid-size sedan and they just aren't wide enough for the rear door windows.

As an ER nurse, I have seen little ones come in with injuries from these roller shades. In an accident, they often become dislodged from the window and make the perfect projectile.

I had recieved this as a promotional item at Babiesrus so I didn't have to pay anything for it. Well, I got what I DIDN'T pay for!!! This thing does not stick to car windows and even if I made it stick, it would fall down before we even got out of the garage. Looking at the price of this item, it's better to just spend a few extra $$$ and get something that will actually work..

If you take your car seat to the CHP for inspection/installation, they will make you take these off your windows and tell you not to use them. The reason is that they will likely become a projectile in an accident and can injure passengers in the vehicle, including your precious baby. Think about flinging one of these as hard as you can at someone's face or eyes and you get the idea (somewhat) of the damage it can do.

A safer alternative are the window cling shades, hmmm can't exactly remember what they are called, but window tinting stuff you can get a Kragen and stick on yourself. It might not look pretty but remember it is only temporary and for the safety of your little one.

Besides all that - they don't work that great.

Just not worth buying. I simple HATE it, I got them for free at babiesrus and they were just to small and very difficult to adjust on the the car windows. Just wont recommend them. One rather buy some better looking expensive shades than wasting their money behind these.

We've had several other brands, got this for free with a coupon, and like it best. The retraction spring lasts longer than the more expensive brands. Yes, it's annoying that it's free advertising for BabiesRUs, but this shade has stood the test of time, so it gets our vote.
