Product Description
Product Description
Anyone who has stayed away from home with little ones will know that it can be tricky to create a snoozy sleeping environment when there is too much light flooding in. The versatile Gro Anywhere Blackout Blind has been designed from a lightweight material that blocks all daylight, and can be put in place in minutes. It attaches directly to the glass using suction cups, ensuring a close fit that really does block light properly in every nook and cranny. Eyelets at regular intervals on the hem mean you can pop in suckers only where needed depending on the window. The blind is a generous size and adapts to fit any window up to a maximum size of 130cm by 200 centimetres. Comes with handy travel bag. For those of you wondering, the Gro Anywhere Blind is a new and improved version of the Baa Baa Blind. The Gro Company is proud to have partnered with Lavinia Thompson, the inventor of the Baa Baa Blind, and is taking this updated version to all four corners of the globe.

Essential for travelling with tots in summer. Even using at home now!

This is one of those products which is so simple yet effective you wonder why didn't anyone think of it sooner! Originally called Baa-Baa Blackout Blind, the Gro company (the geniuses who brought us baby sleeping bags) have bought the rights and made a few improvements too. The blind is supplied in it's own travel bag, and ready to use straight away as the suckers are already attached. Each side is adjustable to fit (using elasticated waistband thingys you sometimes get on kids trousers). You just press the suckers onto the glass, adjust the edges a bit and... instant darkness! (or pretty damn close) We took this on holiday with us and it worked a treat. Never again do we have to precariously hang blankets or towels over the window. Or endure kids waking up at 5am due to the light streaming in to their rooms! Not just for hols though, we use for sleepovers at granny's and now even at home. Worth every penny. If you want an easier bedtime, and an extra hour or two in bed in the morning (who doesn't?), buy one!

I bought this after my 6 month old kept waking with the sunrise at 5am. It is easy to adjust to the correct size and sticks onto the window with plastic suckers. After tweaking the final fit I can get the blind to completely block out the light. It surprised me that it is more effective than the blackout roller blind we have in our own room. She's now sleeping through until 7am. The blind is easy to remove and transport and will be accompanying us on our holiday in a few weeks.

Bought this to use full-time and it works like a charm. The blind is so big we actually attach the suction cups to the PVC. The fabric is a bit stiff and goes beyond the suction cups so it can be positioned to block all the light. The only downside might be the dark color heating up our room but we can't tell at the moment!

I have to admit I am a big fan of Blackout blinds. I know, it sounds sad, but when you love sleep as much as I do, they can be your best friend. My lovely daughter has had both a blackout blind and blackout linings on her bedroom curtains since she was born, and I'm convinced thay have contributed to her having a great sleep pattern. There has always been a problem however when we go away, or if she sleeps at her grand parents, where she will awake at some ungodly hour and then be very sad and grumpy by mid afternoon. After several years of draping duvets, towels, coats and more recently a flattened out cardboard box over various windows to little avail, I finally decided enough was enough. I hoped I had struck gold with the " Gro Anywhere Blind" , and thank goodness, it appears I have. I was already a fan of the wonderful Gro bags, and was therefore keen to try their blackout blind. So far it has been used at both sets of grandparents, in a caravan and at friends houses, on windows of varying shapes and sizes. It has been easy to fit and easy to repack. Yes some of the suckers have been mis-shapen after unpacking, but after following the instructions as to what to do about this ( included with the blind) I had no problem. Yes there are cracks of light that get through, but in all honesty, unless you were to fit chemical darkroom type blinds with tracks, I'm not really sure that anything will ever provide 100 per cent black out.Put it this way, this weekend we visited my Mother in Law. My daughter slept in her lovely darkened room until 8:30 am, whilst my husband and I were both awake by 5:00 am , light streaming through the bedroom window, and with no hope of getting back to sleep. We will be back to stay with mum in law again next month, and guess what I will be buying before then?... Read more ›

Blind worked great for first 3 nights then this morning when I took it off the window, the suction cup stayed on the window ripping the blind.

Although it's a bit fiddly to adjust to your window, it blocks out the sun wonderfully in my son's room (even if it's not adjusted perfectly). Worth every penny.

Excellent for travelling with baby. It blocks out most of the light. We have been using it at home too. I would definitely recommend this blackout blind to ensure baby's sleep while away from home.

3.5/5
I'd give 3.5 out of 5 for this. It's expensive for what it is and the suckers can drop off randomly.
