Default New dad here

Hey all, quick question for a new dad here...

Anyone have any luck with sun shades for the back windows?

The back windows are kind of odd shaped so hard to fit the standard shades. I was thinking about tinting the windows but want to wait until I know the tranny issues dont start with the new car.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

i believe the ES350 comes with automatic sunshade for the back window. You can leave it up when you park the car. When combined with tint, it's very effective.

FWIW - The little buggers are pretty tough, you'd be surprised, so what they get a little sun? Seriously, the windows except the winshield are all 70% transmission tint and they block UV too! I have two kids and you'll find the second one doesn't get nearly the amount of attention to these details as the first one... So what I'm saying here, don't waste your energy. Further the rearward facing child-seats usually have a sun-visor and IF the sun is in a position to hit the kid for a few minutes, just flip it up.

My only other suggestion would be to stop looking at them circular folding style shades and look for the one on two suction cups that pulls down like a window shade... Or else look for the thick plastic tint film that you can cut to shape and it clings (doesn't stick) to the window.

Personally... Sun shades for kids thing is a fad, similar to, "hey look at me, I have a Baby on Board" type of thing.

In this day and age, advertising you have a baby in the vehicle with one of those baby on board things is a real stupid move.

rboyle....congrats on being a new father!!!

I totally agree. My father wanted to get one of those big front yard cutouts to announce it and I told him no...dont want to advertise it.
