Baby Products Reviews of Sunshine Kids Cool Shade For Car Window, Black
Customer Review: Works great...
Summary: 4 Stars
Alright, so these really do a great job of keeping out the sun, but boy are they ugly. I had a hard time putting them up straight and keeping out the bubbles. Make sure your windows are not cold when you apply them, otherwise they won't stick.
I like them because, like I said, they kept the sun out of my son's eyes, but they are an eyesore. At least from the inside of the car. Maybe that's my fault, I don't know.
I wish they could make these like real static cling that you can dip into water then squeegee them onto the window.
Also, be careful when you look behind you, when you change lanes. These darken the windows a lot and it is sometimes difficult to see through.
Customer Review: Good idea, but far from perfect
Summary: 3 Stars
The shade is very dark which is excellent for good sun protection, but requires the driver to be excruciatingly careful with the blind spot checks. From the point of crash safety it is much safer than any roll up shade (which can detach in a crash and injure the child).
Bubbles were still a problem even though I read the previous reviews and followed their suggested best practices. I cleaned the window with alcohol, and tried to smooth out the shade with a piece of plastic (bank card), but the bubbles persisted and the material kept wrinkling in the process.
It's not a bad solution, and among what is available it is still my favorite, but there is much room for improvement.
Customer Review: Works well but does have its drawbacks
Summary: 4 Stars
I was so excited to try out this product. My son would always pull the roll up shades off the windows while I was driving, and they just didn't block out enough sun. These shades are pretty dark. So be extra careful when driving at night to look behind you. Before installing them on your windows make sure your car is cool inside and clean the windows really good with window cleaner. Have some patience. If your windows have any curve to them you'll have some bubbles to work out. But once they are on they stay put. I've had my shades for a few months now in my car and they have not peeled off yet. And my son doesn't pay any attention to them.Customer Review: Difficult to see
Summary: 2 Stars
It's very difficult to put this product on without any bubbles. I simply don't have the patience to adjust and readjust. That being said, it did serve it's purpose, and that's reducing the amount of sun that gets to my son, but my biggest problem with it is that it is very dark. I read the reviews of others, and thought I would be able to handle the darkness. It was only installed on the back driver side window. But after driving with it for a few days, i found myself checking and re-checking my blind spot. Maybe it just takes getting used to...but I've since removed it. Also, it is tacky looking, but I can get over that as long as it works.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
We have a two door car with rear windows that don't roll down. This product replaced two Fisher Price self tinting film sun screens. After a few months, those would no longer become dark in the sun. This product has been great. The only tricky part is smoothing all of the air bubbles out during installation. If done properly, these will stick fine. We have had no problem with them coming off and the dark tint keeps the sun out of junior's eyes. Highly recommended product, but shipping makes it a little expensive. Not sure how well these work on windows that roll down.
