SnoozeShade for Travel Cots | Travel cot blackout canopy | Air-permeable mesh blocks 94% of light

SnoozeShade for Travel Cots makes sleep away from home far easier - for naps and for nighttime.

• Blackout sleep: It fits over the travel cot to create a dark, calm space that blocks up to 94% of light - perfect for early mornings, light summer evenings and unfamiliar rooms.
• Adjustable brightness: The panels can be raised or lowered to tailor the light, so you can dim things for a nap or go fully dark for the night.
• Insect and draft protection: The fine EziBreez® mesh doubles as a built-in mosquito and insect net, and helps keep out drafts so your little one stays comfortable.

It folds down small into its own travel bag, so it takes up almost no room in your luggage.

Whether you're in a hotel, a holiday home, or a grandparent's spare room, SnoozeShade helps your little one sleep in a space that feels familiar and calm.

We match the SnoozeShade to the mattress size rather than the cot's outer measurements, because that's the part that stays consistent.

SnoozeShade for Travel Cots is the right choice if:

• Your travel cot takes a mattress around 95 x 65 cm (the most common travel cot size), or
• You have a triangular or trapezoid-style travel crib (wider at the base, narrower at the top), which it still fits well even if it measures up to around 116 cm long.

Choose a different version if:

• Your travel cot takes a 120 x 60 cm mattress (the same as a standard cot) - in that case you need SnoozeShade for Cots.
• You have a full-size cot bed with a 140 x 70 cm mattress - in that case you need SnoozeShade for Cot Beds.

Not sure what size your travel cot will be, especially in a hotel or holiday let? The simplest thing is to ask your accommodation for the mattress dimensions. If you can't find out, get in touch and we'll help you choose.

All measurements are a guide. The mesh is stretchy and adjusts by several centimetres either way.

Darkness is one of the most powerful sleep cues there is. It tells the body to produce melatonin, the hormone that helps us fall asleep and stay asleep.

🌓 At home you've probably got blackout blinds and a familiar routine. Away from home, all of that disappears - and light is usually the biggest culprit behind ruined naps and 5 am wake-ups.

☀️ Long summer evenings and early sunrises mean a room can be far brighter than your little one is used to, just when you need them to settle.

🧠 A consistent dark sleep space helps the brain switch off, even somewhere completely new. It also recreates the familiar feeling of their room at home, which makes settling easier.

That's exactly what SnoozeShade for Travel Cots is designed to do: bring your little one's sleep environment with you, so a change of scene doesn't have to mean a change in sleep.

Sometimes you simply can't fix the room. You might be in a rental or an Airbnb with no blackout blinds, staying at a friend's or grandparents' house, or dealing with an awkward-shaped window that no blind ever seems to cover properly. You can't start putting things up on someone else's walls, and clip-up travel blinds never quite seal the gaps.

SnoozeShade solves it from the other direction. Instead of darkening the whole room, it darkens your little one's sleep space directly. They get the same dark, calm conditions a blackout blind would give them, without you having to touch the windows or the walls.

It's a bit like taking your blackout blinds with you, except they travel with you and fit right over where your little one sleeps - so they work in any room, anywhere.

SnoozeShade began with a simple idea: help babies sleep safely and comfortably, wherever they are. The Original was created for newborns in a pram - but parents kept telling us the same thing about holidays and trips away: their little one just wouldn't sleep in a bright, unfamiliar room.

🌙 So we made a version for the travel cot. It blocks the light that disrupts sleep, recreates a familiar dark space, and packs down into almost nothing.

🦟 Because it fully encloses the cot, the mesh also acts as an insect and mosquito net, which parents love for warm-climate holidays.

🌬️ And because it's made from our air-permeable EziBreez® mesh, air moves through it freely, so you get darkness without sealing the cot up.

It's the product that means you can travel, visit family, or go on holiday without dreading every nap and bedtime.

Away from home, everything that normally helps your little one sleep is missing - their room, their blinds, their routine. SnoozeShade brings the most important part of that with you.

🌓 It creates a dark, calm space that blurs the unfamiliar surroundings and helps your little one wind down.

🔁 Used consistently, it becomes a portable sleep cue - the same signal that it's time to sleep, in any room, in any country.

🛬 It's especially loved on holidays and trips, because it helps prevent the overtiredness that turns a lovely trip into a meltdown.

💤 Many parents describe it as the thing that "saved our holiday" - because once sleep works, everything else does too.

The result? Longer naps, better nights, and a trip everyone actually enjoys.

It's a myth that only babies need naps. In fact, most toddlers and many preschoolers still benefit hugely from daytime sleep - especially during travel, growth spurts, or big transitions.

😴 Sleep supports brain development, emotional regulation, and behaviour. Overtired children are more prone to tantrums, fussy eating, and poor sleep at night.

🧠 Studies show that children who nap regularly are better able to process information, manage emotions, and retain new skills.

🌞 But getting toddlers to nap somewhere new and bright isn't always easy. With so much going on, they resist sleep even when they're clearly tired.

That's why SnoozeShade for Travel Cots is such a help.

• It blocks out the light and visual distractions that keep little ones awake.
• It helps the brain shift into "rest mode" in an unfamiliar room.
• And because it creates a familiar, consistent sleep environment, your little one knows what to expect, even far from home.

Even an occasional nap on a busy travel day is golden. SnoozeShade helps you protect it.

We know safety comes first, especially when it comes to your child's sleep.

That's why every SnoozeShade is designed by a mum (and UK safety ambassador) to meet the highest safety standards in the world. In fact, SnoozeShade is the only range of pram and sleep shades approved by INPAA (Infant & Nursery Products Alliance of Australia), Australia's leading safety authority for nursery products.

• ✔️ Made from our exclusive EziBreez® air-permeable mesh, which lets air pass through freely and is safe enough for a newborn to breathe against.
• ✔️ Better than breathable - the mesh has been tested to rigorous air-permeability standards, so you get darkness without sealing the cot up.
• ✔️ No long straps, toggles, magnets or buttons - nothing that could pose a choking, strangulation or entrapment risk. We only use short, safely positioned straps.
• ✔️ No toxic dyes or chemicals. Every part of SnoozeShade is tested to the same standards as a newborn toy, including checks for heavy metals, flammability and more.
• ✔️ Trusted by over half a million families and recommended by sleep consultants, safety experts and health professionals around the world.

SnoozeShade was invented because safety mattered. And that will never change.

We believe clever products should make your life easier, not more complicated. That's why every detail of SnoozeShade for Travel Cots is designed with tired parents in mind.

• ✔️ Fits in seconds - It goes over the travel cot and secures with short straps around the legs or frame. No tools, no fuss.
• ✔️ Adjustable brightness - Raise or lower the panels to dim for a nap or go fully dark for the night.
• ✔️ Packs down tiny - Folds into its own travel bag and weighs around 1 kg, so it slips easily into your luggage.
• ✔️ Doubles as an insect net - The mesh keeps mosquitoes and insects out, ideal for warm-climate holidays.
• ✔️ Machine washable - Easy to keep clean. Just pop it in the washing machine at 30 degrees. You can hang it to dry or tumble dry on a low heat.
• ✔️ Works anywhere - Hotels, holiday homes, grandparents' houses, festivals and trips. One product, sleep sorted wherever you go.

Parents call it the thing that saved their holiday. It works - simply and brilliantly.

This is one of the most common questions we're asked - and it's an important one.

The advice you may have seen is: don't cover a cot with anything that restricts airflow, like a blanket or muslin. That advice is right - but SnoozeShade is not that kind of cover.

SnoozeShade is made from our unique EziBreez® air-permeable mesh, which means air flows freely in and out of the cot. It's better than breathable - because it's actually been tested to rigorous air-permeability standards, and shown to allow healthy airflow even when fully closed.

Unlike a blanket or muslin, there's no sealed air chamber and no "greenhouse effect" - just a constant flow of air through the mesh.

• • The mesh blocks light while still allowing excellent ventilation.
• • Parents in hot climates like Australia, the UAE, and Southern Europe have used SnoozeShade safely since 2010.
• • Every SnoozeShade is tested to the same safety standards as a newborn toy.

So you get the darkness your little one needs to sleep, without compromising on airflow.
