When my wife and I began shopping for a rear sunshade for our 2002 Honda Accord we compared:
1. The First Years Car Rear Sunshade (32" x 13")
2. Kel Gar Safari Rear Window Sun Shade (40" x 19")
3. Type S Tiny Traveler Rear Window Sunshade (39.5" x 19.5")
The First Years has 3 suction mounts across the top and then 2 velcro fasteners at the bottom, so it mounts a bit different than the other 2 rear sunshades which are completely suction based and are more flush with the rear windshield.
The Kel Gar Safari has a neat safari design around the border, but we thought that might obstruct visibility somewhat. It is probably a very good choice, however, and is considerably larger than The First Years.
Obviously, we bought the Type S Tiny Traveler. At time of writing there appears to be no manufacturer's website. In fact, we did not actually know its dimensions until it arrived and we measured it ourselves.
It works quite well. Two 1.5" suction cups in the middle right and middle left keep it flush against the window. This design is superior because the other models have to have a gap at the top where the sun can sneak in, due to the placement of the suction cups.
Suction quality is fine, but make sure you clean the area first with rubbing alcohol. Also, we recommend slightly wetting the suction cup with water before applying. Even with windows down and air circulating, it seems to only fall down once or twice a week.
If desired, one could easily replace the 1.5" suction cups with 2" or bigger suction cups from Home Depot, Lowe's, or an arts & crafts store.
As for visibility through the material... not great. At night time it is hard to see cars behind unless their lights are on. Apparently all rear sunshades suffer from this problem. If you think about it... they are design to block light from entering to reach your baby. But in doing so, they also block light between your eyes and the environment behind your car.
I hope this review helps in your decision.
