The First Years Car Rear Sunshade

I actually really like my rear sunshade. Once you get used to it being back there it's not too difficult to see out of the rear window, and I find it helps a little with glare from headlights at night. It keeps the sun off of my kids, and fits the entire back window in my small sedan. And it was really easy to install. The suction cups stay in place for a good majority of the time. The only time they come undone is when the weather changes (like hot to cold weather), but any suction cup would do that. I would recommend this to anyone, as I don't have any problems with it.

Pros: good size for most midsize sedans; clean minimalist appearance

Cons: fabric is not very transparent: for a clear, reliable view of vehicles behind you, you will have to use your side-view mirrors; plastic anchors for vertical mounting behind rear headrests are clumsy and didn't fit either of my vehicles well.

The picture here is deceptive - the shade is not white, it is black on both sides. Even with it being black though I still am able to see through it fairly well, and it does a good job of keeping the sun out of the baby's eyes the majority of the time. It does not cover the entire back window area (I have a 2006 Subaru Impreza) but there is just a small uncovered space on either side. It took a few tries to get the suction cups to stay up - I did have to clean the window area where the suction cups go before they would stick.
