It sounds like a great idea, but the quality of this window shade makes it nothing but trash. Pieces brake off, and the adhesive runs all over the window ledge of the car door making it a sticky mess, but unfortunately it's not sticky enough to hold down the shade, so it just dangles. Don't waste your money.

Please don't waste your money on this item! Especially if your car is equipped with a rear window defogger. The elements in the back windshield prevent the suction cups from sticking properly. Even worse, when the shade is installed, it is not wide enough. Seldomly does this item even block the sun from my baby's eyes. Try "One Step Ahead", they have three shades, one wide enough for the back window and two shades for the back side windows. The window shades from "One Step Ahead" also stay on the window.

While this seems like a great idea, and believe me it can come in handy, as a Child Restraint Technician I can not recomend the roller type of sunshade. Not only are the suction cups choking hazards, but they will mark your windows after a couple of months. But more importantly, in a crash, the metal rod of the roller will become a projectile, imbedding itself in whatever may be convienent. The sunshades that simply stick on with static cling are much easier and have none of the hazards of the roll on types. When the suction cups loosen, they become serious choking hazards.

I thought this was a great idea, but it doesn't even shield the sun from my baby's eyes, even when she's in the center of the back seat (I drive a Mercury Mountaineer). The other problem is that it's difficult to see through the shield when you're driving. My husband took the one off rear left window because he couldn't see through the shield to look at his blindspot. I guess from that angle, it's not easy to see through.

We received a rolling sun shade as a baby gift, and attached it to the window in our car. At a car seat safety check up offered by our city police, we were advised to not use this. If an accident were to occur, the shield would fly off the window and the metal rods can injure your child. Use a vinyl film shade that sticks directly to the window. And it is impossible to see through the shield. Funny that window tinting is illegal, but a shield that is impossible to see through is ok?

I purchased this for our daughter in January. I have a Honda Civic and it barely covered the window. So I decided to turn them sideways, hoping that more of the window would be covered; nope! I agree with the other reviews, it is very difficult to see though these also. I purchased a set of shades that you can see through, are attatched with suction cups and were available in two sizes that are SO much better, and I only paid [money]...

It works fine, and I like that it has 2 ways to install: either attach via an adhesive (which I don't like to do to my car's windows), or clip at the top of the windows. Another nice thing is: when you don't need the shades covering the windows (like at night), you can roll them up out of the way without having to detach altogether. They work. On the downside: they don't cover the windows fully. and when attached by the clips, the windows are open by a few millimeters and may create a slight wind noise when driving at higher speeds. Hardly noticeable, but worth mentioning per my husband. Despite those details, we feel they were worth it and don't regret buying them.

This product does just what it is supposed to do. Be sure and notice how to roll it back up, however! There is a button on the side--it's not like a traditional window shade that you tug on.

My husband and I bought these blinds for our 6 month old son who is a little baby "vampire" (he hates bright light shining into his face). It didn't cover the whole window which stinks and the suction cups at the bottom didn't always stay on. I did like the fact that you can hit the button on the side and roll up the shade to get it out of the way at night. We still end up using the shade on the car seat or throwing the baby's blanket over him to block out the sun. All in all, it still does work to a certain extent.

I was worried about this product after seeing some other reviews, however we bought this anyway and it has worked fine for us--although I agree they are not quite wide enough to block all of the window. The nice thing is that it has two options on how to attach to your window; we chose to just clip it on the top of the window instead of using the adhesive (I don't like the idea of using an adhesive on our windows). Because there is a slight increase in noise (of wind) when attached this way, we remove them sometimes when we're on long trips on the highway. When we don't need them (like at night time), I can easily roll them up out of the way. And the suction cups stick fine to the windows. So far I don't regret having purchased them.
