Keeping Hot Summer Sun Out

Question
Our son's bedroom currently has no window coverings and it faces west. We are looking for an affordable option to keep the warm summer sun out. We would also like to have the winter sun coming in since we live in MN we'd like the warm sun out in summer and winter sun in during wintertime.
I don't think we necessarily need to look out at the same time the sun is being blocked in the summer, but we do need privacy for the times my son is changing clothes.
I prefer to have light in the room so I don't really want to put in mini-blinds as they seem to block a lot of light unless they are pulled up all the way.
Our experience is that the cheaper mini-blinds don't pull up and down often, especially in a child's room, without breaking or not working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Answer
Cellular Shades will be ideal for your son's room.
The translucent light filtering version will keep the sun out while filtering the light in. You can open the shades in the winter and close it, in the summer for sun protection, and all year for privacy.
The unique cellular construction will insulate your windows and you will save on your energy bill.
We recommend cordless blinds for children's room since it is safer for them when there are no cords.
Here you can purchase high quality cellular blinds at rock bottom prices.
