When travelling with young children in the car, there are many things to consider. Safety, comfort, and entertainment are all important factors to ensure a smooth ride for everyone. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is the importance of quality car sun blinds.
Our friends at Car Shades manufacture award-winning, edge-to-edge fit car sun blinds, and are a practical and affordable travel accessory that can make a significant difference for you and your children whilst travelling.
Here are some of the benefits of Car Shades that will help make for smoother journeys and in turn create a better day out for everyone.
Less glare & distraction
Sun glare can be a major distraction when driving, especially when it is shining directly into your children’s eyes and causing distress.
Car Shades reduce light coming through a window by 72% compared to windows without a car sun blind solution in place, and they also fit to all rear windows of your vehicle including the boot, which is especially useful for rear facing children.
The reduction in glare is also useful for older children making it easier to focus on other things such as reading a book or watching a movie, and the fewer moans and groans that come from the back seat helps you stay focused on the road.
Reduction of heat & more fresh air
On your summer days out, sitting in a hot car can be uncomfortable, especially for young children. Car Shades can reduce the amount of heat entering the car, making the interior cooler and more comfortable for your children and any pets that may be accompanying you on your days out.
Car Shades also fit to your window frame instead of the glass, which means you can still wind the window down and allow air into the car which is great for hot sunny days, or those times when some fresh air is really needed if anyone is feeling a little queasy.
Help with nap time
Children love a nap in the car the car, and parents love their children having a nap too, as long as they still to go sleep at bedtime! However, sunlight can often make it difficult for them to get a good rest in the car. Car Shades help create a darker environment, which can help your children sleep more soundly during car journeys. This can be especially important for longer journeys when a well-rested child can make all the difference.
Increased privacy that’s easy to fit at home
Car Shades also provide an added layer of privacy for you and your children by providing an extra shield from the outside world which can be important for their comfort and security, as well as making it harder for any prying eyes to see into the car when you’re not around.
They are easy to install too and take around 10 to 15 minutes to fit on your drive at home using the fitting instructions specific to your car, they can also be removed in seconds for the times you don’t need a sun blind in place such as driving at night.
