This is a semi long post but I promise you it’s worth the minute read. I want to talk about the car shades with suction cups.
You should definitely not use them. When I was a baby I pulled a suction cup off of the window shade and it popped open in my mouth and covered my airway. My mom had to pull it out of my mouth because I was suffocating.
They haven’t taken them off the market because my mom called and told the company what happened and the woman on the phone said basically someone has to die for a recall to be made.
We have a car shade that does not have suction cups. They exist and it actually rolls up and down with the window. Pretty cool and significantly safer.
It’s terrifying but we all know babies and kids put everything in their mouth. Don’t let your baby be the reason why suction cup shades finally get recalled. Just don’t use them! 💖🤷🏼♀️

@hakunamatata09, I bought mine at meijer and I believe they have two different sizes. It was kind of annoying to instal but I watched a YouTube video and it was easier after that. Good luck in whatever you choose momma 💖💖

@iam_ashleylynn, at least I’m alive to tell the story and maybe educate others. But thank you! And yes, those too!

Oh wow, that’s crazy. Sorry u and ur mother had to go through that. I’m glad my van comes with the car shade built in. I most definitely will not ever use those. Gotta watch for the Baby on Board sign too. Cause that has the suction cup on it as well.

@oceanbabe424, me either!! And I think more people should know about the dangers of this. And even the big suction cups you can squeeze and they would fit into a child’s mouth. It’s scary, the things that are meant to be for babies but can be dangerous.
