Protect Precious Little Eyes on your road trips with Car Shades

Car Shades are the award winning, vehicle specific car sun blinds that cover all rear windows of a car – even the boot! Being a tailored fit means they leave no gaps, which prevents dazzling sunlight getting into the precious eyes of your little ones resulting in a stress-free journey for the whole family.

A perfect edge-to-edge fit compared to alternative sun blind solutions, they fit to the window frame instead of the glass so that they don’t fall off and still allow full operation of the rear passenger window to get fresh air into the car when needed.

Car Shades are a simple, home-fit solution that can be installed within 10 minutes making these a fantastic travel accessory for families who like to be out and about.

It’s easy to see why parents awarded Car Shades the Gold Mother & Baby Travel Accessory for 2023.

Manufactured in the UK to fit over 800 of the most popular vehicles, Car Shades are the UK’s leading car sun blinds that even come with a 30-day money back guarantee to give you complete peace of mind.
