 "Cute but sun comes through" 2008-12-17
By Katrina
I bought this after first buying the fisher price rain forest stick-on window shades, which did not stay up or work (I tried taping them up) So I thought I would try this since we have a lot of the rain forest stuff and I wanted to stick with the theme, but besides looking cute it really isn't good for much - I have tinted windows but the sun still comes in sometimes which is why I need a sun shade for my daughter - this is very light green and the sun still comes through it. I think I am officially giving up on having rain forest sun shades and will just buy a plain one!

 "Worked great at first..." 2009-12-12
By Red Flower (Stillwater, OK USA)
So I did what other reviewers suggested & used a water spray bottle to SLIGHTLY spray the window before applying the shade & that did the trick! It stayed up all summer. However, after a few months, it slowly started to come off on it's own & one day just completely fell off. It is now crumpled up on my van floor. I have not tried to see if I can put it back up yet as now it is wintertime & I'm concerned it may not stick at all to a very cold window. The concept of this item is great, but I think there is room for improvement. However, for large side van doors where you need to cover as much window as possible, this is pretty much the only option out there.

 "great idea, does not work well" 2009-07-13
By Vardan Matevosyan
First, I had trouble cutting it to fit the window. If you have got rectangular or square windows it may work for you.

Secondly, it was terribly wrinkled out of the box and the installation guide suggested to use a blower (hair dryer) to fix it, as much as I understood.

I personally think this is a waste of time and money.

 "Does it's job" 2009-07-01
By Teri L. Hoben
Great for blocking out the sun, and if you follow the directions, it sticks wonderfully. Someone recommended to me to use an exacto knife and place the shade against the windows to cut out the shape, instead of using the grid paper. Instead, I just did a sloppy job, but it keeps the sun out of my baby's eyes!

 "BEST window shade!" 2009-02-02
By K. Vegas (Napa, CA)
We've had this sun shade for over two years now, and it's still going strong. I even moved it from the driver to the passenger side of the car last year, and it still sticks! I was a little worried that it might not be reversible, but apparently, it is. Despite what the instructions say, we used a spray bottle of water to get it stick perfectly smoothly. We also used a pretty heavy-duty squeegee to smooth out all of the bubbles. I love this so much that I'm here to buy a second one for the other side of the car... baby #2 is on the way!

 "TERRIBLE product despite great idea" 2009-01-09
By Michele K.
This sun shade simply will not stick to the window, no matter what you do. It seems from reading reviews online that it will only stick in extremely hot climates.



Unfortunately, this was an impulse buy at the store for me, had I read all the negative reviews all over the internet, I never would have wasted my money.



Tomorrow I am going to try wetting it down to stick it (despite directions saying to install dry) after reading that trick somewhere else, but if it doesn't stick, its going back!

 "Get a refund, bad product but respectful company" 2009-07-31
By J. Martin (Wisconsin)
I had the same experience as people complaining about this. I contacted Blue Ridge who asked me to ship it back, they refunded my cost plus shipping so I'm not out anything. Bad products do happen and I feel Blue Ridge is a great company who I will buy from again as they quickly and easily refunded my money. Maybe they'll just test it a little better next time :-) I bought the $4.50 window cling shades made by Munchkin from Wal-Mart and so far they work great, aren't great looking, but do keep the sun out.

 "Worked for only 2 weeks" 2009-03-24
By J. McDonald (Brookfield, CT)
Hi all: I have to second everyone else...I thought this was a great idea for a product. I even managed to get it on my window okay. It looked great. My daughter loved it. And it worked only for about 2 weeks. The shade never blocked a lot of sun, but now it does not change color at all. Do not buy this product. What a shame. I expected more from Fisher Price and any of its retailers. How disappointing.

 "Waste of money" 2008-08-30
By Katrina
I bought this to match all of the other rainforest stuff we have and wish I didn't waste my money (I bought it out of town so I couldn't return them)



First of all they do not stick on the window. I taped them up with tape in each of the four corners. This was pointless because they don't work - mine didn't even change colors at all.



DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

 "Concept: A+ Execution: F-" 2008-04-17
By Steven A. Godun (North Brunswick, NJ)
My little girl was being blinded by the sun so I bought these, mistakenly thinking they'd do the trick. I liked the fact that they were very large (they actually hang over the door panel in my car by about 3-4") and relatively unobtrusive, insofar as I didn't have to concern myself about rolling them up or down depending on the time of day.



Unlike others who have reviewed this product, I had no problem with getting the shade to stick to my window. I used my steam cleaner to first make sure the window was completely clean before sticking the shade on. It works like the old "Colorforms" toy; it doesn't use an adhesive, just static. Because the plastic was folded up in the box there were several large creases that refused to go away. I warmed the plastic with a hair dryer to soften it up a bit and the creases went away during installation. And...that just about sums it up for the "pros" of this product.



Bad things... With the shade in place you must not roll down your windows. The box doesn't make this very clear but the instruction sheet inside the box claims that "serious damage" could result to the car's window mechanism if you do this.



The tinting power of this shade is nominal at best. When new, the shade went from clear to blue but the strength of the blue was about half what is shown in the product pictures above. As another reviewer stated, even at full darkness it doesn't seem to make a difference in how much sun got through. A clear and sunny day would still result in a face full of sunlight for my little girl. Even though the sunlight was now tinted blue, it was still overpowering enough to wake her from sleep. Not fun.



The worst part, however, is the longevity of the product. I installed the brand new shade in my car right around the beginning to middle of February. By the end of March the tinting had completely disappeared. Even in the brightest, clearest day, the shade remained steadfastly clear/untinted. It was just clear plastic.



If you check various review-type places on the net you'll find an overwhelming number of people writing much the same thing I'm writing. As of this writing, the Babies-R-Us page for this item has 22 reviews of which 20 are one-star, 1 is two-star, and 1 is (inexplicably) a 5-star review, which also happens to be the ONLY positive review of this item I've found. (EDIT MAY 29, 2009: Babies-R-Us no longer carries this item, but both Babies-R-Us and Amazon carries the Fisher-Price Precious Planet Color Change Sun Shade which is exactly the same lousy item but with different graphics on it. Avoid!)



When I discovered how God-awful this product is I called Fisher-Price, explained my problems with it and asked for a refund. They refused to refund my purchase price but instead redirected me to the company that makes this product which is Blue Ridge International Products Company (850-835-0100, x250 for customer service). I left my information with them so time will tell if I ever get a refund. I'm not expecting one, so I'm probably going to chalk this up to a ~$20 learning experience. (UPDATE: I have, in fact, received a refund check from Blue Ridge for the full amount, including sales tax! If you were the unfortunate buyer of this product I strongly suggest you call Blue Ridge for a refund.) I have since thrown this product away and have purchased a roll-up shade from someone other than Fisher-Price.

 "Terrible Product- Does not work at all!" 2008-04-12
By Amy (Rochester Hills MI)
This product is completely useless- I agree with what each of the reviewers have written. Wouldn't stick to the window (yes it was cleaned) and DID NOT change color at all- I also do not have tinted windows in my car- so basically paid $14 for nothing. I am returning this tomorrow. My 9 month old screamed the whole way home because the sun was shining right thru the shade onto his face!

 "Cute, but not particularly well-made" 2007-08-09
By Beau Yarbrough (Hesperia, CA)
Our son's nursery has an ocean theme, and quite a few of the items we have -- and are happy with -- are part of Fisher Price's Ocean Wonders series.



These shades, however, we're not so happy with.



Although they're cute, they fail to do what we want: They are too tall to fit onto an ordinary car window, too narrow to block much of the sun, too opaque for a driver to see through and, finally, don't want to stay on the window.



We're going to look for adjustable shades that attach with suction cups or for a good local window-tinting service. These shades were an utter disappointment from the moment I first applied them.
