> 3 dayIm always torn on how to review those products that do what they are designed to do, but are just WAY overpriced. This thing does what it says it does.. it takes air from your front vent and funnels it through a tube to your back seat. I got it because my kid would get sweltering hot in the rear facing car seat. This definitely addresses that problem. Having said that. This thing is a bit of black plasting tubing - about like a washing machine drain hose (if youve ever seen one), with a nylon sleeve, a rubber gasket, two pieces of plastic and a zip tie. Thats it. It so ridiculously simple yet effective - and WAAY overpriced. I mean, way, way overpriced. They might have $10 in materials here. So the $40 price tag is a tough sell in retrospect. You literally zip tie a plastic adapter (round or square depending on your vent type - it comes with both) to your vent, then attach the connector hose via twisting it into the notches and youre done. Its got a velcro strap and a series of loops to hang it. Thats it. Now that I think about it, you could probably adapt a vacuum hose. I dont intend to bash the product, its just one of things where in retrospect, I cant believe I paid $40. Bottom line - if you need it and you got the money. Buy it.

> 3 dayI have a cargo van that has turned into a wheelchair accessible van so it does not have AC in the back. My daughter is 23 years old and in the hot Florida sun so it’s hot inside. I talked to a wheelchair company that would put an AC unit in the back of my van it was about $1200. So when I saw this I had to give it a try and it did exactly what it said it was going to do. So easy to install it’s a no-brainer. I usually have no one riding in the passenger front seat but when I have it’s so easy to detach and to reattach .

> 3 dayBuy this for your dog.. my boyfriend made fun of me but wow major difference in travel experience. While we have AC vents in the back seat there is just not alot of air going to the floor board. We noticed he get more anxious if hes in a tight space and we freeze when pushing all the air to the back. We closed two vents half way, placed the hose in the center front vent and angeled it down to give Rocky a vent straight down on him. Our car ride Texas to Colorado-13.5hrs he’s comfortable and slept; and we didn’t freeze the whole way trying to ensure he was comfortable. Highly recommend!

> 3 daySo a lot of the reviews have complaints that you have to rig it with zip ties.....well yes, how else can it be universal to fit all cars?! I only needed 1 zip tie and it works for me. I have a station wagon and where my daughters carseat rear faces no air gets to her. This tube at least gives you a little bit of cool air. Its better than nothing. We live in the middle of nowhere hot ass Florida so I am ever so thankful for this

> 3 dayThe product works exactly as advertised but it connects to your vents with zip ties. Because of this it can damage your vehicle and ended up breaking out vent and now is no longer connected. We are taking the car to the dealership to fix the vent next week. Overall a disappointment since we couldnt use it for more than 2 weeks.

> 3 dayOverall a good product that accomplishes the job well, but I feel like there are design solutions out there that would get a more universal, snug, damage-proof fit. Feels more like a “necessary evil” than a product I’m in love with. I have a Subaru Legacy and needed the 8ft for a rear facing kid without threading under the seat. It came with both a square-shaped mount and a round-shaped mount, so you can choose which one works better. We couldn’t use the vent in the center console, since it is an irregular shape on a rounded surface, so we use the vent on the passenger side dashboard. I stuffed around the edge of the mount with paper towels to “seal” it a little better and prevent scratching damage to the dashboard. We have to put the AC on full blast and close at least 2 other vents in order to divert enough air to the hose to get to the back seat. Pros: It works well, and we really need it in the heat, since we don’t have any rear vents for the baby or dog. 2 mount shapes to choose from. Cons: Overpriced for the quality of materials used. Pain to install. I used a crochet hook to “grab” the other end of the zip tie and pull it through the vent. Will not fit just any vent. The zip tie/mount situation is definitely not durable— we will need to be careful not to accidentally knock it, or I am confident it will damage the vent. Need to close other vents to divert enough air through the hose.

> 3 dayI use it for my rear facing child who got sweaty easily. Install is easy but since I put it in the back seat vent of CRV(don’t like a big tube running from front dash to back seat), the first install I try to avoid cover the vent adjusting dial so the zip tie went to the left side of vent direction tab, and it resulting the adapter kept sliding out to the left and loose, so cold air was barely noticeable coming out of the other end. I had to put the zip tie on the right of the tab so the frame can stay put and give out good amount of cold air. The trade off obviously is having to take noggle off the use the dial. PS, this thing is smelly being a plastic product. Better let it air out before blowing the smelly air to your child’s face.

> 3 dayBought this for my backseat as I have kiddos. I have an Equinox and got the size recommended for back seats. It’s ok. Definitely not worth the money, but ok. I had a hard time connecting it as the zip ties don’t just flip out of the vents, the Noggle attachment continually slides, closing the vent and defeating the purpose of the purchase. The zip tie it came with loosens itself, which aids in it sliding down to close the vent. I have contemplated returning several times, but there are no other products like this out there. I just wish it wouldn’t move so much on the vent attachment and keep the vent open. When the vent is open though, it works great.

> 3 dayI work outside sales so I am in my vehicle a lot. I have been trying to find a product that can funnel the AC to my midsection area. Well, this product does just that! Of course, it will also work for kids in the back seat or pets. Me and my two friends are so relieved to have found the Noggle.
