This hose is awesome! Good quality. I have a camper van and no air conditioning in the back. This hose works great to get some of that cool air to the back. I have already used it twice. I bought an 8’ hose which reaches about 1/2 way to the back. They provide two vent clamps. One round and one square. They attach simply with a zip cord. Super easy to install. 5 min. Only two things: one: I wish the hose cover came in fun colours. It only came in black. Two: Where the hose clamps meets the vent — some air escapes (very little actually) plus I didn’t want the clamp to scratch the dash. I don’t know if it would have but I decided to cut pieces of velcro and stick it all around the part that touches the dash. This actually ensures no scratching of my dash and also stops that little bit of extra air from escaping. Great product though. 5 stars! Much desired for hot weather.

UPDATE: I now love the noggle. I bought some epoxy from Auto Zone and put it around the inside lip of my air vent and then popped the air vent back in. I waited a day for the epoxy to cure and then reattached the noggle. It's tight on the vent (I just used regular zip ties I bought at Walmart because I had to cut the ones that came with the noggle to get it off the pulled out air vent), hasn't loosened at all, and hasn't pulled my air vent out. Attached a pic of daughter holding her air tube, as she calls it. I'm having a love/hate relationship with this thing at the moment. I love that it was easy to attach. I love that, much to my surprise, it put out a good bit of air. My 3 year is still rear facing and she loves holding her air tube, as she calls it, letting it blow in her face. It actually does a nice job keeping her cool in the back seat. Now the hate....after a week, my air vent has been pulled out of the dash. I think the weight of this may be too much for my older car (2008 Ford Fusion). At this point, I'm going to try and gorilla glue my air vent back into my dash, but not sure I want to chance pulling it back out or pulling out another vent with the noggle. Some basics fyi: I bought the 6 foot, even though my car seat is rear facing. My car is a Ford Fusion and my daughter's car seat is in the middle of the back seat. I attached the noggle to the passenger side vent, and it easily reached my daughter in the middle back. It attached easily with the zip ties and almost completely covered my vent. Because my dash is curved a bit, the top of the noggle doesn't sit flush and leaves a small gap, but I didn't notice too much air escaping. I do recommend this product, and if it hadn't pulled my vent out I would have rated it 5 stars. I bought mine off the company's website and it was less expensive than what I see here. Also, search google for a coupon code.

Overall 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.

This is a godsend for cars that have no rear AC vents. I hate that we had to blast the AC before getting this and our toddler would be removed from her car seat covered in sweat. I felt horrible. She's also rear facing so we'd have to rely on air circulation to help her. No longer. This thing is awesome. I love that now I don't have to worry. Must have for anyone in warm climates especially with no rear AC vents for their little ones or animals this could work for them too. It would be nice for anyone sitting in the backseat even adults. The only advice I can give is this. Make sure to remove the Noggle when not in use. This is practical as the heat can warp the vent due to the weight of the Noggle so remove it to save your vent. Also close one of the dash vents to increase air pressure to the Noggle. We have four dash vents. One on each side and two in the middle. We used the middle ones for convenience so we closed the other middle vent near the Noggle to create more flow to the Noggle. Also start the car and run the AC for a bit either before connecting the Noggle or before putting the baby in the car seat. The hot air blasts through until the AC kicks in. The Noggle actually cools off her car seat buckles and straps which is nice so they aren't hot, so we run the car till cold before putting her in the car for a couple reasons. When in doubt about length purchase the longer Noggle. I'm glad we did as it has the ability to rest out of where my toddler can reach it as well as reach her comfortably. If we bought the shorter version I believe is 6 foot it would have been taut and in the way which means she would be constantly messing with it. We have a mid sized car and we have it hooked to the rear headrest for her if that gives you the length to think about. The 8 footer is perfect for our vehicle. What did we ever do without it? LOVE IT
