The Gro Company Ollie The Owl Gro Anywhere Portable Blackout Blind with Suction Cups,

Product Information

The heat build up between the blind and the window causes it to shatter – something that apparently happens quite frequently according to the glazier that came around. Press the centre of each suction cup all the way down firmly to the glass and keep firm pressure for about 15 seconds. Then gently release the pressure until all the air bubbles inside are released, to firmly seal the cups to the surface. You’re trying to push all of air trapped between the suction cup and the window out from behind the suction cup. Try not to let the suction cups slide. If they slide easily you might have used too much moisture. These blinds are perfect for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers who are struggling with a bedroom that’s too bright in the mornings or evenings. Our son is a sensory seeker and so he often needs light and sound to feel safe. Some of these products will not work for children who may need to reduce sensory stimulation to sleep.

It can be notoriously difficult for children on the spectrum to get to sleep. What’s more, no one really knows why. Some believe it may be related to lower melatonin levels, or perhaps sensory issues, but even doctors do not fully understand what the issue may be. We have been fairly fortunate in that, although Biggest does wake fairly often, his rigidity of thought and strong routine means that he usually stays in bed. However, over the last few years we have found a few products and developed a few strategies that I believe have helped him get to this point. An autism friendly bedroom and bedtime routine may help some children with sleep difficulties but many parents may have tried everything, with little success. Children obviously aren’t idiots, and it doesn’t stop them spotting that its still light out of other windows like the bathroom. There’s only so much a product can do though, its not a miracle worker! lol 🙂 So just to be safe, I remove the blind every morning after my girls have woken up. I like to let light into the room during the daytime anyway. Sleeptight Blind: What you need to know

The closer the suction cups and the window are in temperature, and the closer this is to ‘room’ temperature, the better results you will have. If necessary, wash the suction cups with warm, soapy water, rinse and pat them dry with a lint-free cloth.. Make sure both the inside of the suction cups and your window are clean and dry before application.

When up on the window, the difference in the room was significant. Where as before the room would have been very bright even WITH the curtains, with the blind the room created the definite illusion of night time. It was much darker, and no sunlight came through anywhereas the blind fitted very closely against the window pane. And another mum shared another handy tip for families, sharing that her daughter's oven exploded in a similar situation. Wow. Never knew that. I've used them for years. To be fair, not to keep heat out. Just to help make rooms darker then it's down in the morning.' Moisten the inner rim of the suction. A bit of water on your finger is the most common way. Please remember not to moisten the rim too much! Just enough to coat the surface of the rim - if the suction cups slide after pressing down, you have used too much water We were told by Tommee Tippee that it states in their instructions that the blinds shouldn't be used for extended periods, but the blind we got didn't come with instructions!! Also even in the link they sent I couldn't find this info!!
