Sunshades?

When my daughter was a baby and until she reached about seven she was the same way. She wouldn't go out without sunglasses. She wore them from when she was just a couple of months old. Yes, they sell them in infant sizes. I also had the card window shades but had the same problems that you are experiencing. I suggest trying sunglasses. It was amazing that she didn't pull them off. She knew what they were doing for her I guess.

My toddler wears sunglasses...lol. We bought her some cute Dora ones from babies r us. There was no way to block her from the sun because it was coming in from the front windsheild. The sunglasses helped plus they are really cute. As for the baby, Im assuming she is rear facing. I put a mirror back there so I could see my baby. When the sun is in his eyes I just pull up the shade thing on his car seat.

When our son was tiny, we used the sunshades that stick to the window with suction cups. If they weren't enough (they never cover the whole window), then we would put the handle of his carrier car-seat straight up and drape a blanket over it.

I used the Safety1st brand cling on's I first made sure my windows were clean and then applied.They sell them as a pack of 2.I'am glad you asked this question there is alot of them out there but I highly discourage you to buy the ones that has plastic hooks that go onto the window these are the ones with a rolling mechanisim with suctions cups that you can pull up or down here is why in the event of a car accident they will detach flinging around in vehicle and will injury your baby I would hate for that to happen to anyone so I hope others will read this and take them off their own windows in their vehicle.

We use 3 of the suction cup type shades (all on the same window to try to really block the sun), but sometimes even that isn't enough for our sensitive girly. SO, I've been keeping a beach towel or sheet or light blanket in the car and if it is REALLY bright, I rig up a "canopy" pulled taught and secured between the front headrest and the back headrest. Just have to be very careful that it doesn't come loose and fall onto them.
Good luck!

I would recommend calling aroung to the auto detailing shops in your town and have your windows professionally tinted (it's like a form of contact paper). THAT is the only thing that actually sticks long term.

Another thing that I do is keep several pairs of sunglasses in the pocket behind the front seats for the kids...Baseball hats are great too, she can put the hat on and pull the bill down and no sun will get through. But for my fashionsita daughter enjoys the many colors of fashionable sunglasses I keep on hand...amusing AND practical...how much better can it get? LOL Good luck.

We had our windows tinted to solve this problem.

Good Morning M., I am not sure what the brand is, we use the suction cup style on the side windows and a long one for the rear window. Sometimes they come off also, but they do help alot. Before we got those shades we made sure their car seat carrier shade cover was pulled up and over to block out the sun.

I have even used a light weight net fabric rolled up in the window to block out the brightness. You can see out but the sun isn't so bright.

Good Luck to you M. hope you get some good advice to help your little angel

You can pick up a Safety First sun shade at any Wal Mart. It attaches to the window with suction cups. I first purchased mine (and attached it) before my daughter was born. She's 16 months old now and it hasn't come loose even once. I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but I believe it was less than $10.

if her car seat has the handle you could drape a blanket over the top of the handle and have the canopy up. If your car doesn't have tinted windows you can get them tinted and it's really not that expensive and well worth it. We had our car tinted for 160.00 and that was for the 4 side windows, back window and a strip on the front window at the top and got the mirror tint which looks nice on the outside. It helped a lot as our car wasn't tinted when we bought it and went to Florida and we got sunburned on the way there in the car. The following weekend after that trip we got the windows tinted and haven't had any problems with getting sunburned in the car since plus it helps a lot with the air-conditioning. It stays cooler now.

my windows are already tinted, i tried all of the suction cup and cling on styles but none covered enough of the window. i found some at walmart in auto section that drape over the window frame. its a mesh material so you can roll the window down and catch a breeze while still providing shade. who-rae makes them and they come in several sizes.

Sorry my response is so late. We had the same problem with nothing working well or the kids pulling it off. We just started using the light flannel receiving blankets that we had millions of (any blanket, fabric, towel, etc would do). We put it just over the top of the window and roll it up in the window. It's tight enough they can't pull it down and it blocks the sun fantastically. It can block the window for your vision sometimes, but as long as you get comfortable using your mirrors (and you can add the little stick on round ones to your side mirrors to give you complete coverage of your range of vision) it's fine. And a lot of the time I can see around it well enough by the way it hangs. When they get dirty you just pop them in the wash! We always carry one or two extra in the van just in case!

How oldis your daughter?
