Car Window Sun Shades

Bebeconfort

Everyone looks forward to the British summer; where the days are longer and families can enjoy trips to campsites and beaches across the UK without worrying about rain or cold breezes. However, as pleasant as the warm sun is, prolonged exposure can also pose some threats to our health and safety. Children are especially vulnerable to the sun’s harmful UV rays - and being in a hot car for several hours under the bright light of the sun can be an unpleasant experience for them, causing sunburn or eye strain. 

Thankfully, parents can easily solve this problem with the purchase of car window sun shades. As a leading wholesaler of baby travel accessories, Baby Brands Direct stocks a fantastic selection of sun shades to suit all needs and budgets, with models from top brands Diono, Munchkin Brica and Safety First. Each model is easy to install and designed with sturdy fixtures, ensuring that the sun shades remain in place no matter how long the journey.


Why are car window sun shades best sellers?

Sun shades are an important purchase for many parents and are on the essentials list when kitting out their car for their little one. No one likes to have the sun in their eyes. Aside from being irritating and making it hard to see, looking into direct sunlight is dangerous for our eyesight. When children are young, they are not aware of the dangers and are unable to protect themselves against the sun’s harsh rays.

Having sun shades already installed and in place ensures that children will be comfortable throughout the car journey. Car window sun shades are also a great way of keeping the interior of the car cool and comfortable, especially on sunny days and long journeys. This can help reduce energy used, as parents won’t need to turn up the air conditioning. They can also help reduce glare and stop potentially distracting reflections.

Protection from the dangers of the sun’s rays

In recent years, charities and scientific organisations have worked hard to raise awareness of the dangers of the sun. Sun care is now a large industry. As of December 2021, the market for sun care products was worth approximately 212.8 million British pounds*. Parents, in particular, want to ensure that their children are safe and protected at all times. The sun emits two kinds of ultraviolet rays - UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause tanning and the shorter wavelengths of UVA can also cause sunburn. UVA radiation is proven to contribute to the development of skin cancer, so spending too long under the sun’s glare can cause some long term damage.

UVB rays penetrate and damage the outermost layers of the skin - which can cause sunburn and blistering. UV rays can also cause damage to the eyes. Fortunately, UVB rays do not penetrate glass. However, the longer wavelength of UVA rays can still get through to the car interior. Car window sun shades can help protect passengers and keep kids safe while travelling, blocking the rays from getting through.
