Customers say
Customers find the car seat shade easy to install and appreciate that it fits well and stays in place. However, the shade’s functionality and sun protection receive mixed reviews – while it works well with convertible car seats and keeps the sun out of babies’ eyes, some customers report it doesn’t stay up properly. Moreover, customers disagree on the value for money, with some finding it good value while others consider it overpriced. Additionally, the shade’s sturdiness and shape retention are concerns, with multiple customers noting it’s flimsy and doesn’t maintain its form.

Convertible carseat sun protection solution!
Limited options for convertible carseats when it comes to sun protection. This is absolutely perfect, we have the graco turn 2 me and it fits perfectly, it does come down further in the front but isn’t necessary. My child hates the sun in here eyes (who doesn’t though?) and those window shades even with tinted windows dot cut it at certain angles. This is perfect! Tried another brand that didn’t work at all and was a pain to put up and down but this is so easy like it came with the car seat! Definitely worth it. Not sure why it’s flagged as frequently returned and has less than 4 stars as I write this!

Does its job
It is flimsy like other review states but does its job.

Works with Graco Extend2Fit 👍
It’s flimsy, overpriced and took a long time to arrive, but I have to admit this product gets the job done. I certainly wasn’t able to find anything better. I have it installed on a Graco Extend2Fit car seat in a Subaru Crosstrek. Good luck!

Flimsy
Really terrible, I can’t believe I spent $30 dollars. It’s so flimsy and does not hold its shape.

Had High Hope
I really wanted this to work out. We bought a car seat that is rear and forward facing and does not come with a shade. This can be used in any car seat or stroller because it does not attach with buttons or zippers. But that is part of the problem it does not attach so it is very flimsy and my little one who is eight months old is able to pull it off the car seat and covers his entire body with it. Also you cannot fully extend it. Therefore, it does not block all of the sun from the little ones. I really wanted to like this item, but it does not work.

BUY IT!
Great product, exactly what I was looking for. The buckle straps make putting this sunshade on carseats extremely easy and very versatile. There’s multiple lengths to the shade allowing cover from sun at any angle.The material is great and feels sturdy even without any hard plastic boning it keeps it’s shape.I bought a second one because I loved how easy and perfectly this shade worked on my kids convertible car seat. It fits great on multiple Brands of car seats (Graco, baby trend, safety 1st fits perfectly) and I’m looking forward to being able to use it on a regular car headrest when my kid grows out of the booster seat.$30 seems a little pricey but it’s worth it absolutely this shade is perfect! Get one and you won’t have to worry about sun in your kids face no matter if they’re forward facing or rear facing.

Does not stay put
Does not stay put. Super easy to put on but moves around and the material is definitely on the cheaper side. I missed the return window, otherwise I would have returned it.

Works well and good coverage
The one thing that bugs me about convertible car seats is that it doesn’t have a cover like this. This works really well, has stayed in place since we purchased it months ago and has really helped with keeping out light for naps in the car during trips. The only thing is that you have to adjust it properly back in place when not in use because a couple times we didn’t and then it blocked our view of the car seat mirror to where we had to stop and fix it to see our toddler. Kind of annoying and more something that bugged us that may not bug others but it still works for its intended purpose. Just make sure to properly push it back when done
