How to use SnoozeShade baby sun and sleep shades
Which SnoozeShade is right for you?
🍼 For babies in the carrycot (from birth)
We recommend using SnoozeShade Original when your baby is lying flat in a pram or carrycot, or using a travel system with a car seat. Both styles feature an elasticated top for a secure fit on all hood shapes.
SnoozeShade Original
- Blocks 99% of UV (UPF50+)
- Black fabric with choice of trims: Safety Green, Grey, or Pink
- Attaches with Velcro straps
SnoozeShade Original Deluxe
- Blocks 97.5% of UV (UPF40+)
- Silver-grey outer fabric with black lining
- Uses certified baby-safe poppers instead of Velcro
🚗 For infant car seats
Both styles fit all Group 0/0+ car seats with rigid handles and offer three modes (shade, sleep, and open) for maximum versatility:
SnoozeShade Car Seat Canopy Classic
- Blocks 99% of UV (UPF50+)
- Black mesh outer fabric with black mesh lining
- Uses Velcro straps to attach
SnoozeShade Car Seat Canopy Deluxe
- Blocks 97.5% of UV (UPF40+)
- Silver-grey mesh outer with black mesh lining

👶 For babies in the stroller seat
If your baby is in the stroller seat (whether lying flat or sitting up), choose from our Plus range. Both include a large unzippable front panel and panel storage pocket with our unique "sleeping baby" emblem. They're ideal from when baby moves to the stroller seat until they no longer use the stroller (up to age 4), and offer a universal fit.
SnoozeShade Plus Extra
- Dual-layer system: 80% UV block in shade mode, 99% in sleep mode
- Attaches with Velcro straps
SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe
- Dual-layer system: 80% UV block in shade mode, 97.5% in sleep mode
- Silver-grey outer fabric with black lining
- Attaches with baby-safe poppers
♊️ For double buggies (from birth)
If your double buggy has a shared hood, use the SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe.
- Suitable from birth
- Same dual-layer protection as Plus Deluxe
If your double buggy has two separate hoods, use one age-appropriate SnoozeShade per seat. For example:
- Carrycot seat → SnoozeShade Original
- Stroller seat → SnoozeShade Plus Extra or Plus Deluxe
🛌 For travel cots, cots, and cot beds
All styles include zip-open top panels, adjustable blackout levels, and are made from the same breathable mesh.
