sunshade for carseat ?????

[LMPC]

I have all but blacked out my back windows on my jetta, but somehow sunshine finds its way into DD's face while I am driving. I was looking at something like this....

Has anyone ever used this product? Would you recommend it?

TIA!

I've heard lots of moms rave about the protect-a-bub for their strollers...didn't know they made one for car seats. I am also curious b/c we still have sun finding its way into our girls' faces despite dark tint and the eddie bauer tint sheets.
ETA: I would mostly be afraid of it coming unattached and/or becoming a dangerous projectile. If it attached securely I'd say to give it a try!

I haven't used the car seat sunshade from Protect-a-Bub, but I use their stroller shade, which seems to be similarly-made. If installed correctly (they provide no instructions, and it took me about 5 months to figure out what to tie it to, so it wouldn't sag), it should be fairly secure, although you'll probably need to check and re-tie those "knots" on a regular basis. My concern is the fabric it's made of: while it lets the air in, it blocks most of the view out, which your child may not like at all (unless she always sleeps in the car seat, in which case it's a bonus). It might also block a lot more of your rear view, while driving.

I've started puting a floppy hat/sun hat on dd while driving....I have tinted windows and a window cling as well.......the floppy hat seems to be working for helping to keep that little bit of sun that pokes through off her eyes.....
DD likes to look out the window so I don't think I can ever use something that would take away her view.......I think our car rides would get very unhappy!!
