We have been looking for a shade that will stay stuck to the window. Despite the super suction cups, this one did not stay stuck to our car windows, even after cleaning both the window and the suction cup. It seemed like it should work well, but we have yet to make it work.

If you get lucky, it sticks to your window, at least by one corner. Wide enough to cover a big window but not stretchable like it was my impression from the product description.
Manufacturers have not found the miracle product that your kid will not play with while seating. My daughter keeps on touching the suction cups, drives her crazy when they go off. If you have a quiet kid, no problem....
In summary, no better, no worse than what the competition does, just bigger.

I really like the flexibility of this product and can use it to get much better coverage on the back door windows of my Nissan Titan, than with the multiple other shades I tried.

the corner suction cups seem to pop off alot, but it is usually the bottoms. Given the high temps and temp swings that we have, I don't think it's necessarily a product defect.

I am so surprised by the other reviews, this is the best sunshade I have tried yet!! I have a Toyota Rav 4 and purchased two shades for the backseat windows. They installed quickly, I didn't have any trouble with the suction cups. They have stayed put since the day I installed them. The coverage area is great and it doesn't leave any large gaps for the sun to come through. It not only covers the main window, but the smaller additional part of the window that many shades lack (in my car at least). I also love that it doesn't create a blind spot for me, I can easily see through them while driving. I would never go back to a pull down type shade again. I suppose it doesn't work for everyone. But, it works great for us. I am glad I didn't let the mediocre reviews deter me from trying it. Also, I live in Chicago where we have extreme hot and cold and so far haven't encountered a problem with it coming undone. Car rides have been much better since we put these shades in the car!

I don't normally write reviews but I had to comment after seeing the low ratings. We've spent tons of money (most were non-returnable or broke) trying countless number of shades, including the roller shades, the stick ons and other suction cup type shades for the back side windows of my Toyota 4Runner, and this one is the best. Not only does the shade cover the entire back side window, including the triangle section, but both window shades have not budged since they were put on three weeks ago and we've had temperature swings from a low of 76 to a high of 114! The material and cups are pretty sturdy and ny daughter loves being able to still look out the window. Granted my daughter isn't big enough to reach the suction cups and I haven't tried pulling them off after putting them on (I'm one of those "don't mess with things once they look fine" people) so I can't comment on that end for the reviewer who said their daughter pulls them off easily. I would really recommend trying this shade! If you don't want the hassle of buying and returning from somewhere on the Internet, try a local specialty baby store with a decent return policy.

These things are hit-or-miss, and we missed with this one. I can't say if it's the particular model or what, but of the two times we tried, it didn't stay on.

I drive a Jeep Commander, and my daughter's car seat is installed behind the passenger seat (rear facing, if that makes a difference) I just installed the shade last week, and, aside from the fact that one of the "twist" suction cups likes to pop loose every once in a while (has happened 2x so far in 7 days, and it's a bottom corner one, so it doesn't really matter) this has been a lifesaver on our long commute home from work/daycare every day! I didn't install it the way that they show in the picture....I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I installed it (without cleaning the window or suction cups first) with the row of 4 suction cups on the bottom....who knows if that is why I've had better results than some of the other reviers.

The material shades my daughters face well, but is transparent enough that she (and I!) can see through the window - much more effectively than the traditional sun shades that you hook over the glass and pull down to shade. The ENTIRE window is covered from corner to corner, so no direct sunlight hits her face during our drive....makes for a very happy mommy, and a very quiet baby! I will be buying this product again for friends!

I was a little skeptical buying such a strange looking sunshade but it turned out to be great. It stretches really well (I have an SUV so the window is pretty big) and suctions well too. Also, the shade really does keep the sun glare out of my childs eyes. One note - it does loose its suction with extreme warm/cold weather and once the suction goes, they really don't stick well. I did contact the company for tips on how to make the suction stick better and they sent me a new one. Really good customer service! Even though the suction does go, I would still buy another one.

I was looking for a sunshade that was wide enough to cover an SUV rear window. So, I purchsed this one and it is long enough to cover. However, after a few days, the corner suction cups just come off. The reason is that, according to the directions, you need to stretch it out and the corner suction cups will adhere to the window. Sounds great, but hardly works. We were driving around with the top left corner banging against the window, as it never stuck. I finally became so annoyed with it, I pulled over and threw it in the garbage.

I'm now purchasing a cut to fit window cling.

Save yourself the money and don't buy this product.

Suction cups - both Super Suction Cups and regular ones - fell off within one hour of putting this on the window. This product does not work and I would not recommend it.
