What Should I Consider When Buying Car Shades?
2014-05-13
Car shades are very practical items that are used to reduce the sun glare inside a vehicle. There are two methods of reducing the impact of the sun inside a vehicle: window tint and car shades. Window tint is a film that is permanently installed on the car windows. The shades can be removed and used in other vehicles as needed.
There are four things to consider when buying car shades:
Sun shade size for your little one
A shade that is too short will not give you the adequate shade to protect your little one's face and eyes. But getting one that is too wide can also pose as a driving hazard. That is why size is the most important factor to look into when buying sun shades. In order to protect your child from the harmful rays of the sun, you should be able to effectively cover your entire window without making the interior of your car too dark. The best way to get a perfectly sized sun shade is by measuring your car's window and windshield sizes.
Different sun shades for different babies
When choosing the right type of sun shade, it is not enough to consider which one gives a better shade. You also have to think about how safe these shades are. Canopy types are smaller-sized canopies fitted to your child's car seat. In terms of protection, this type of sun shade offers the best one, as it blocks the harmful rays from all sides. But if your child feels uncomfortable with the minimal vision from this type of shade, a window sun shade would be a better choice. A car window sun shade provides protection from direct sunlight by covering your windows with an opaque or slight transparent material. Window sun shades come in to different types as well. If you want a more flexible sun shade that will allow you to move it up and down according to the weather, then you should consider a roller window shade for your car. But if you want a cheaper, but just as effective, alternative, then you could also install a sun shade with suction cups.
There are two types of installation methods: secured and flexible.
A secured car shade is mounted into the frame of the car window and secured with clips or screws. Once installed, it is difficult to remove them. Flexible installations are secured in place with Velcro or easy to use clips. As needed, the shades can be pulled off the window an installed in another location.
The costs of the shades are an important consideration.
The price for car shades ranges from $20 US Dollars (USD) for a set of removable, flexible shades to $200 USD for installed, rolled shades. Take time to check if the shades can be used in other vehicles or if they are designed for use in a specific vehicle.
Other things to consider
It's true that children learn a lot from their environment and adding stuff here and there in your car can stimulate learning. But it is also a fact that your car is still a moving object prone to accidents. So when choosing sun shades, always check the make and design of your shades. Beware of the shade attachments and accessories that can be harmful to your child, especially inside a moving vehicle. These attachments can cause choking or can poke your child with the sudden brake of your car. Also, as a rule of thumb, do not install products that have not been crash tested to your vehicle. These can be dangerous to both to the child and the driver.
When looking to purchase car shades, think about the ColorSmart and useful life of the shade. If you live in a location with a lot of sun, the shades will be used regularly and will become faded in time. Locations where the summer is relatively short will have more longevity from these shades. Inspect the quality of the material and breathability of the fabric to find the best shade for your needs
