Blocking heat from windows

Part of the baby plans include replacing the window in that room with a UV-blocking double paned wonder. We did so with our sliding glass door (as part of our Great Flood of 2007) and it's been awesome for the kitchen's cooling.

It's very tempting to do the same for all our other windows since they are vintage 1974 and awful. The one in our bedroom prevents me from sleeping in since the heat becomes oppressive and wakes you up with the feeling that you are going to die. Yes, we have central air, but it doesn't help upstairs enough. However, we do not have the cash for any more than one window replacement.

After waking in a sweat earlier than I'd like this morning, I did some googling. We can't do any exterior mods on our condo, so I am looking at indoor options.

Anyone had experience with these or similar products?
