thanks for reminding us that IR creates the radiation and heat build up.
i had my rear windscreen done by FRK in 50% blue yesterday, the workmanship was ok,
i did that because i would expect a chance to get a ticket by the police and would just remove it.
I think BMW, MB and AUDI windows are already quite strongly protected against UV and IR, because i tested my spectacle glasses which react and go dark on UV and IR, and they don't even change colour by much even under direct sunshine under the windscreen.
I think even with max 3m your car if placed under sunlight will get hot because the whole car is getting warmer and it is convected together.
so it is really to prevent UV, you are better protected with a cheap 50bucks silver sunshade.

you are half right about age of 3 and without going into a lot of technical details, let me quote Maria Montessori: "The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six."
of course, the later you leave it, the harder it will be. in fact, I would argue by age 1-1.5, kids should know yelling wont get them anywhere and they should always take initiative to solve problem for themselves.

that wrong bmw glass are usless on UV and IF
you can try my car out on a hot day
a few weeks back there was a hot day with the sun on full and I just rest my arm on the window and I had to put it down after about 2 mins because it was hot.
bill the tint is not just to protected our boby parts.
it is for:
looks
safety ( if there is a side impact the glass will not shatter and hit my kids) BTW do our cars have the window side airbags?
block UV
block IF
dose not fog up too

Greenhouse = No 3M film
Haha....well. Basically the film can block part of the UV/IR light and reduce the amount of heat get into the car "compared" to the one without. Just like your sunglasses
