Unlike another sunshade product that I purchased, the suction cups on this one work okay -- they still come loose occasionally, but not very often. Since the sunshade rollers have an adjustable length lock, it removes tension from the suction cups -- which helps the suction cups stick longer.

Even better than suction cups, the shade rollers have small clips that can be hung over the top edge of the window, which provide a more secure mount than the top suction cups.

If the over-the-window-edge clips are used and the bottom of the shade is left loose, instead of anchored to the window with a suction cup, the window can be rolled down to within about an inch of the windowsill without having to dismount the shade.

As mentioned by another reviewer, the sunshade does not cover the entire side window -- so it may be only partially effective at times depending on the angle of the sun. However, all the side window sunshades that I have seen are this size (plus or minus an inch) regardless of brand. Since there is no "standard size" side window, the manufacturers have probably chosen a size that will fit most cars.

While sunshades are helpful, they are not a perfect solution to protecting young children from the sun in cars. Parents still need to be vigilant.

I always thought these things were so goofy looking and silly. Until I needed one! We needed one when our son outgrew his infant carrier and no longer had that convenient little sun canopy. We keep one in each car and they really are lifesavers when the sun is going down and it hits your baby/kid right in the face. Having these is especially helpful in a smaller car &/or a car without tinted windows. I also LOVE having plastic hooks at the top of the shade rather than suction cups, & the velcro at the bottom is also very helpful to keep those suction cups on tight.

I was disappointed in the purchase. At first, I thought what great deal to have two for such a great price. Installing the screen was a different matter. I have larger windows in the back and it doesn't cover the entire window. Also because of a slight curvature in the window - the suction cup doesn't stick to the window on the bottom. The velco on the bottom is not an option for me. It still hangs there, but will need to find a better solution when he is no longer in his infant carrier with the canopy to cover from the sun.
