I put a sunshade on my passenger side window? I'm just thinking i might not be allowed to in case its classed as obstructing my view but the sun is constantly in DS' eyes.

Pretty sure it isn't allowed.

I used to peg a blanket onto the seat belt to shade the baby, then it doesn't obstruct your view out of the window.

You can get special ones which are see through. But otherwise no, it's not allowed.

no i don't think it's allowed either. even tinted windows have to let a certain amount of light through on the front side windows by law, so i am sure you wouldn' tbe allowed to put a sunshade on.

plus, it WILL restrict your visibility which is downright dangerous.
is there not a hood on his carseat?

This was one of the hundred and one things I used to use a muslin for - like moshie says, you can clip it onto the seat belt & pull it across.

Fit a protect-a-bub on the car seat.
