Car seat sun protector

Is there any sort of product that I can put over the car seat when I'm transporting LO in his car seat. Today I was walking from the car to inside and I felt like I had to keep adjusting how I was carrying him to keep the sun off him. The sun shade will keep the sun out of his eyes, but he was wearing shorts since it's so warm here and I felt like I couldn't keep the sun off his legs. I tossed a blanket over the entire seat, but that seems like it will get hot, even just for quick transports. Has anyone seen anything that can go over the car seat like the blankets that go over for the winter?
I feel like I'm not making sense. Hopefully someone can understand me, haha.

Sorry the link is so long, don't know how to do it any other way...
There is a flap of solid fabric that flips down to cover the mesh; the mesh is supposed to protect from UV.
We used it at a street festival a couple weeks ago and Allie got really hot; ironically, when we switched back to just using the covers on the car seat and stroller (both black), she stayed cooler. I just check her more often when I use it. Got it mostly for taking her for walks in the stroller - if you are going to be driving for awhile, I might be worried if the sun is completely on you LO based on our experience...
