> 3 dayDefinitely a must buy in Arizona heat! I was wary but as soon as I installed it and tested it I was amazed! My backseats have no ac so I had to find something to help my toddler out in the summer. I got the 8 ft long one and it’s longer than expected but I’m glad so I can place it anywhere I want to! Worth the money and worth the wait. Also the name is just great

> 3 dayI have a 2012 Honda Civic and my baby is rear facing, I bought the 8ft hose but could have got away with 6ft. This thing has been a lifesaver, I dont have rear ac and we’ve been in the 100’s all summer. My 19 month old does like to play with it so I’m CONSTANTLY having to reposition it to make sure it’s facing her.

> 3 dayThese are absolutely necessary in the Phoenix heat as temperatures rise. They keep my twins comfortable and give me peace of mind which is worth the price.

> 3 dayThis did not fit my vents as they aren’t flesh with the dash and I couldn’t not attach it in order for it to actually work.

> 3 dayThis works wonders! A year later and we still use it. My baby stays fresh in the back and I don’t have to worry about her being hot.

> 3 dayOverall I think the concept is great. I just think this product might not be meant for jeeps? It keeps falling off and doesn’t say straight. The size/length is great for rear facing; need extra Velcro or zip ties to keep it aligned since it doesn’t fit super well with the strap provided-it moves and will point up (not stay pointed straight/towards baby).

> 3 dayGood product but the packaging it came in was beat up and looks like it was previously used… It also did not come with the Retractable ties that it says it comes with.

> 3 dayGreat idea, but the company needs to come up with a way to actually seal the mount to the vent firmly. The zip ties dont even come close to doing that, so it just kind of hangs there and flops around loosely with a gap between the vent and the hose. As a result, most of the air coming out of the vent never enters the hose, and the stream of air making it to the back seat is weak at best. Note in the photos that there are no long shots of the mount on the vent, just closeups. What theyre not showing you is that someone just out of view is pushing on the hose to hold the mount against the vent. Also, be careful! If the hose gets accidentally yanked while its attached, you could easily break the vent, which is not designed for any stress at all and is very expensive to replace. People who dont care about their cars appearance may want to duct-tape or glue the hose mount to the vent, but I dont think thats a viable solution for most car owners. If the mount could be sealed to the vent somehow it would work great. Bottom line: the critical design element that would let it work is the way the hose mount gets attached to the vent. This attachment is poorly thought through and just doesnt work because there is no seal and no way to shape the hose mount to the vent. Because the seal at the vent is what determines how much cool air actually can get pushed through the hose, the poor attachment design undermines the whole product. Needs work and I really hope the company comes up with a better solution for attachment because its a much-needed product. A few thoughts on improvements for the vent attachment: **It might be easier to make a mount that firmly attaches to the floor vent on the passenger side. This vent is less visible than the dash vent so aesthetics would not be so much of a concern. Some kind of elastic stretchable attachment; adhesive velcro; or a hose clamp screw-on type of attachment might be possible. Not sure how consistent across vehicles the outlet of this vent is. The current design of the hose mounts doesnt really work for this vent. *Make custom, automotive-quality mounts for specific car models that could be permanently attached or could replace the original vent and actually look good. By the way: although this product has the standard Amazon Prime FREE Delivery & FREE Returns banner after the price, when you start a return there is a crazy long list of disclaimers basically saying the return wont be accepted unless it is in brand-new condition and talking about restocking fees and shipping charges. Not sure how you would try it out on your dog-car and have it keep a brand new appearance, its bound to get dog hair on it and the zip ties end up all bent after trying to install it. Apparently they intend to try to resell the ones that get returned if the product didnt work for a buyer? All that said, its a well-made, attractive product. If only it did what its supposed to do better.

> 3 dayMy husband and I never knew anything like this existed, but were so grateful that it does!! We have a 4 month old and want her to get proper air within the backseat. We live in Arizona, and it gets very hot during the summer, so we want to be as prepared as possible to keep her as comfortable as we can. This product can be used for any extreme conditions, even for heating, in states where its cold. The only downfall is that once the air goes through and reaches baby some air is obviously lost. Thats Im sure expected since it does have to travel through the hose, and also how well the vehicles ac/heat strength it pushes out. However, something is better than nothing, right. I was unsure as to what size of Noggle to get to fit our small SUV, Santa Fe, so my husband did some research. We decided to get the 8ft, and Im glad we did. I was worried that it was going to be too long and bulky, but its not at all. The 6ft would be for a small car, and 10ft for a larger SUV or van. The product is just a seen in the picture, and met all our expectations. It was extremely easy to connect in the vehicle. My husband set it up within literally two minutes. The setup of the Noggle is very straight forward, just as seen in the picture and doesnt require instructions, at least we didnt need any. The attachment is easy to put on when our baby girl is in the car, and easy to take off when shes not, with little to no effort. I would recommend this to anyone with a child in the backseat whether if youre in a state with hot summers, like us, or in a cold state. Our little ones depend on us for comfort, and Im so grateful to provide her with all the comfort that I can. I want to get a second one for my Moms car for when she picks us up, as she does quite frequently. You and your little one will absolutely love it, I promise!!

Greater than one weekI love this thing, its cute, its easy to set up, it works like a dream. My mom used a dryer vent in her car for years and it worked fine but this is much better and doesnt look as tacky. I wish there were a few more loops along it to be able to adjust its position more but other than that its perfect.
