Car Sunshades – Protect Your Baby from Sun Glare & UV on Every Journey

Shop our range of car sunshades – essential sun protection for babies and young children travelling in the car. Babies and young children have thinner, more sensitive skin than adults and are particularly vulnerable to UV exposure through car windows. A good car sunshade blocks harmful UV rays, reduces glare, and keeps the car cooler on sunny days. Free UK delivery available.

Why Babies Need Sun Protection in the Car

Many parents don't realise that standard car windows offer limited UV protection. Side windows in particular often provide little to no UVA filtering, meaning your baby can be exposed to harmful UV rays even on a cloudy UK day. Prolonged UV exposure through car windows is a genuine risk, particularly on longer journeys. A car sunshade is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to protect your baby.

How to Choose the Right Car Sunshade

  • Window size & fit – Measure your rear side windows before purchasing. Sunshades come in various sizes – a shade that's too small won't cover the full window, leaving gaps where sun can get through.
  • UV protection rating – Look for shades with a high UV protection factor. Some shades block up to 97% of UV rays – check the product specification.
  • Attachment method – Suction cup shades are the most common and easiest to fit and remove. Static cling shades are an alternative but can be less reliable over time.
  • Visibility – Mesh shades allow your child to see out and you to see in, while still blocking UV. Solid shades offer more privacy but reduce visibility.
  • Ease of storage – Foldable or rollable shades are easier to store in the door pocket or glove box when not in use.

Why Choose Our Car Sunshades?

  • High UV protection – Blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays through side windows

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard car windows offer limited UV protection, particularly side windows. Windscreens are typically treated with UV-filtering glass, but rear and side windows in most cars provide little to no UVA filtering. This means babies and young children can be exposed to harmful UV rays during car journeys, even on overcast UK days. UVA rays penetrate cloud cover and glass more readily than UVB rays. A car sunshade fitted to the rear side windows is one of the simplest ways to protect your baby from UV exposure during car travel.

Yes – car sunshades fitted to rear side windows are legal in the UK. There are no restrictions on tinting or covering rear passenger windows. The legal restrictions on window tinting apply to the windscreen and front side windows (the driver's and front passenger's windows), which must allow at least 75% and 70% of light through respectively. Rear side windows and the rear windscreen have no legal light transmission requirement, so sunshades on these windows are perfectly legal.

For babies and young children, a mesh car sunshade with suction cup attachment is generally the best option. Mesh shades block UV rays and reduce glare while still allowing you to see your baby in the rear-view mirror and allowing your baby to see out – which can help reduce travel anxiety. Suction cup attachment is quick and easy to fit and remove, and works on most car windows. Look for a shade with a high UV protection rating (ideally blocking 95%+ of UV rays) and a size that covers your full rear side window with no gaps.
