You’re a parent of young kids, so you know the drill: load the car, minivan or SUV up with the kids, their backpacks, sports equipment, and musical instruments. Check the schedule one more time. And your off to any one of your kids' countless activities.

Then it hits you – that blinding sun glare.
You pull down the car’s visor for relief. But as you turn a corner, the sun moves to your side
Duck your head, flip the visor to the side, and continue driving. Another turn, another duck-and-flip.
It’s not just frustrating – it’s a dangerous distraction, especially when you’re trying to watch for kids darting between cars or across parking lots or crosswalks.
The statistics are sobering. According to the National Library of Medicine, driving in bright sunlight increases the risk of life-threatening accidents by 16 percent, and more than 9,000 accidents annually are directly attributed to sun glare. Parking lots and school zones are particularly hazardous, because pedestrians and vehicles share those spaces.
What’s even more concerning is that sun glare is most intense during the morning and afternoon hours – prime time for school drop-offs, pickups, and activity shuttling. This is precisely when our roads are bustling with young pedestrians and cyclists.
Parents deserve a better solution than constantly having to adjust their visor while navigating busy school zones and parking lots.
Let me introduce you to The ADDVISOR – this innovative second visor works independently of your car’s built-in visor. By positioning The ADDVISOR to block front sun glare while using your car's visor for the side window, you’ll get Two-Direction Sun Protection™.
It’s an extra layer of safety for your kids in your back seat and the children crossing the parking lot around you. The ADDVISOR lets you focus on what matters: the road and your surroundings – not the distraction of adjusting your visor.
Why does Hudson Valley-based SmartAdditions
Because when drivers see clearly
all our children are safer.
Some luxury vehicles come with two visors. But until now, there was no way to upgrade the visors in other cars, minivans, or SUVs to have the same protection. The ADDVISOR fits virtually any vehicle, and installation is simple, with no tools required.
