Success blocking sun from rear window?

KLMidwest

DS is 13 months old. Ever since we moved to the convertible car seat the sun has been a problem. I tried a baseball hat but he pulls it off. With winter I've had to use the rear window defrosters so that isn't a good option for the cling-on screens. As he'll be RF for the next year I really need to find a solution. Does anyone have tips or recommend a particular product the worked well for your LO? TIA!

DS has sunglasses that he loves. He learned to put them on pretty early and now asks for them if it is bright. I am not sure he could put them on at 13 months, but I would put them on for him if it was a bad time of day. Of course, if your DS won't wear a hat, he may not like the sunglasses either.

I had the same issue, but the window shades were not working well for us. So I took my car and got the back windows tinted dark, and it does help a lot and I don't have to bother with those cling on shades or anything. Other than that my kids have sunglasses and/or hats.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I ended up getting my windows tinted. it was the best $200 I have ever spent. my daughter no longer screams in the car on our way home from daycare. it might be worth looking into.
