Black out blinds for travelling

Can anyone recommend some good blackout blinds to take with us on a long trip? We know we will be staying somewhere with 2 large windows but don't know the size. And we need to take the blinds on a plane.

Hi.
Would these be any good?

Gro blinds are designed for this very purpose and are good.

in that 3 day nanny program she sprays the window with a water spray and sticks tin foil to it to make a black out effect.
So ive done that in my sons bedroom (loft room) for the short term while i wait for those velux blinds to arrive it really works.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks everyone! I might try the tin foil - I've heard the gro blinds let in light around the corners and I've tried theatric blackout blinds but they didn't work for me ...

I don't rate the groblinds - like you say they let in light at the corners and also they sometimes fall off if the window gets very cold! Like cremeeggs I recommend the tinfoil and water trick. Better than anything else we've tried, and no problems with transporting it either.

If you are going travelling it would be a good thing if the DC slept without the blackout blinds though?

Agree, groblinds are a disappointment ...

We've always used cooking foil stuck to the glass with blu tak. It fits all windows and gets the room very dark, but is a bit of a pain if you want rapid daylight.

The Lights Out black out blinds are brilliant we use them at home and for travel. We used the gro one first at a friend's house and it was rubbish, fell down after 5 minutes.

Tin foil/roll of black sacks and blu tack Smile
