The idea for CarBrella came on one of those scorching summer afternoons in Phoenix when the heat feels like it’s coming at you from every direction. I had just parked, the sun was blazing, and I had the usual battle with a floppy, silver sunshade that never seemed to fit right.
That was the moment I started thinking about a better way. Something fast. Something clean. Something you could put up in seconds without bending it, twisting it, or shoving it into an awkward pouch.
CarBrella works like an umbrella, but instead of shielding you from rain, it shields your entire dashboard from the sun. Pop it open, click it in place, and your car stays cooler. When it’s time to go, it folds down into a compact sleeve that tucks away under your seat.
It’s simple, it’s quick, and it makes a real difference every single day.
