Infant Carseat Sunshade Review and GIVEAWAY!


It is just way too hot to be putting a blanket over my daughters carseat when we go out. Since the visor all carseats come with are only a little help I have to. I don't like that I can't see her in there without having to take the blanket off and disturbing her if she is sleeping. It is just a hassle with the blanket slipping off when we go to pick it up. Well, Shades4Babes came up with a brilliant idea of a way to make it easier for us to protect our little ones while they are in their carseats. Not only are we keeping out the sun,but bugs as well. Shades4Babes has made me the lucky one to be able to review one of their Infant Carseat Sunshades from their Etsy! Shades4Babes has also been VERY generous to give one to a lucky Me and Mine in a Small Town reader!

Product Description (from shop)
This infant car seat sunshade is made with cotton fabric designed for a little girl,and is lined. It has a mesh screen for protection from the glare of the sun while in car or out and about. also protects baby from bugs. It has an elastic bottom to fit snug and straps with velcro to fit tight on the infant carrier handle. These will make great babyshower gifts. Your baby will not get hot under a full covered carseat cover, your baby will be able to see out and you will be able to check on he/she while out and about.
Please read my policy section, these are patent pending.

My Review
I was so excited when I got this in the mail. It has just been way too hot outside lately to keep putting a blanket over my baby's carseat. As soon as I opened it I tried it on the carseat and it fit great! Also the color we got almost matched the carseat perfectly which was a bonus! When putting my daughter in her carseat upon going out, all I had to do was take it off from the bottom and lift it up over the handle while the top part was still attached. An A+ on easy access to my baby! After buckling my daughter and placing the bottom part back over the bottom of the carseat, I checked to see my daughters reaction. She got a kick out of it, since this was something new to her. We went out and sure enough it blocked the sun pretty well as well as let fresh air in so that my daughter wasn't breathing stuffy air like she had been when I was using a blanket. Also, I loved the way I could see my daughter and how she was able to see me as well. The Shades4Babes' Infant Carseat Sunshade is patent pending and I KNOW this is going to be a big hit!!! I wouldn't be surprised if your local store will start selling it! This idea was absolute genius!!!

I would love to win the cream & brown design (squares with line drawings inside). It would go well with our car seat and will tame down the girliness quotient a bit :)
