At SnoozeShade, safety, simplicity, and sleep support are at the core of everything we do. Every SnoozeShade product is rigorously tested to meet the highest safety standards—so you can relax knowing your baby is protected from the sun and supported to nap on the go.

Our range has been voted the UK’s best pram sunshade time and again, and parents consistently tell us it’s a game-changer for naps—which is exactly why it was invented.
