Autocare Folding Sun Shade

When my daughter was born, there wasn’t much need to any sun protection as it was Christmas time yet as the months past and the sun started to come out more and more, we decided to invest in some. I purchased these from Amazon and found that they were quite reasonably priced at around £3 which included postage and packaging. These are also available in places like Wilkos and Halfords for a similar price, there are also different sizes available. I think the price is quite competitive when you compare to places like Toys R Us and Mothercare. You get two shades in a pack, they are plain black ... more

For a number of years I had seen cars with sun shades stuck to the window. Some of them come with cartoon characters on them, though a lot are plain black.

From recollection, I believe they cost around £5.99 although I have since seen these being sold ... more

I didn’t want to spend much so I looked on eBay. *Price and availability* I bought my sun shades from eBay and only paid 99p which was an absolute bargain for a brand new pair! They are currently on Amazon for £1.99 and available at Sainsbury’s. *Description* The shades measure 380mm x 440mm. Due to the size of my windows, they don’t block ... more
