SnoozeShade Plus Extra (6m+) | Buggy & pushchair sun shade | Universal fit, blocks up to 99% of UV & helps little ones nap
SnoozeShade Plus Extra is the new version of our popular Plus. It's designed for once your little one is sitting in the stroller seat. It is much larger than the Original so it safely shades longer toddler legs. It boasts additional functionality suited to children who want to see out when awake.
SnoozeShade Plus Extra safely protects your child from up to 99% of UV rays and helps keep their nap routine on track while you’re out and about.
If your little one doesn’t like sunglasses it’s the perfect choice as the front panel window blocks 80% of UV and lets baby see out. The front can be fully or partially open or closed and gives maximum flexibility.
This award-winning sun and sleep shade fits quickly and easily to absolutely any single-width pushchair or stroller with a hood and lets air flow freely, thanks to our air-permeable mesh fabric. It will last until your little one has outgrown the stroller completely.

Why do parents call SnoozeShade a game changer?
✔️ It creates a sleep-friendly environment for your child, giving you the freedom to leave the house without disrupting their nap routine. (Because no parent wants an overtired child on their hands come bedtime!)
✔️ You can enjoy sunny days outside while protecting your child from harmful UV rays when they’re in the buggy.
✔️ You have the peace of mind of knowing our mesh is completely air permeable – unlike a muslin or blanket draped over the pushchair.
✔️ Our sneak-a-peek zip makes it quick and easy to check on your sleeping child without disturbing them.
✔️ It’s super versatile! Use it in 'snooze' mode for naps or in 'shade' mode to protect your child from the sun while they enjoy the sights.
If your little one is in a stroller seat (regardless of whether the seat is upright or reclined) we suggest you get a Plus Deluxe or Plus Extra..

Need some help on deciding between SnoozeShade Plus Extra and SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe? Click here to read our detailed explanation of the differences.
How does SnoozeShade Plus Extra work? SnoozeShade creates a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin (the sleepy hormone). When your baby naturally stirs at the end of their sleep cycle, the unique fabric prevents them from latching on to visual stimuli that may stop them getting the deeper, longer nap they need. Use it in snooze mode or shade mode – both provide UV protection.
What is the shade mode? SnoozeShade Plus Extra can be used in shade mode to shield your child from up to 80% of UV rays while allowing them to see out. Simply zip up the inner window – a single panel of our unique mesh – to protect from sun, wind, light rain and insects. The shade panel has two zips, so you can leave it partially or fully open or close it completely for maximum protection.
What is the snooze mode? When it’s time for a buggy nap, convert SnoozeShade Plus Extra to snooze mode by zipping up the shade panel and securing the outer snooze panel (an extra layer of mesh) using our baby-safe poppers. This creates a sleep-friendly environment that blurs distractions, shuts out 94% of light and blocks 99% of UV rays (UPF 50+).
A sleeping-baby emblem deters people from disturbing your child, while the sneak-a-peek zip lets you check on them without letting in too much light.
When the snooze and/or shade panels are not in use, simply roll them up and store them in the integrated front pocket to stop them snagging on your wheels.
Will SnoozeShade Plus Extra help my child nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade acts like a portable blackout blind to create a sleep-friendly space. It’s recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide, because when used regularly it becomes a sleep cue for your child, helping them learn when it’s naptime in the same way shutting the curtains at home does.
What age is it for? We recommend SnoozeShade Plus Extra for babies and toddlers who are seated in the stroller seat, because it’s proportioned to fit around a child who is sitting up and wanting to see out. We say from around 6 months but it's just a guide - the most important thing is baby's seating position. If you’re looking for a SnoozeShade for a baby who's in a carrycot, SnoozeShade Original will be a better fit.
You can continue using your SnoozeShade Plus Extra as long as your child is in their pushchair. Our founder, Cara, still used her Plus Deluxe occasionally for the odd holiday, airport or airplane trip until her daughter was five years old!
Is it machine washable? Of course – it was invented by a mum! All SnoozeShade products are machine washable at 30° and can be tumble dried on a low heat.
You don’t need to worry about the type of pushchair you have; simply choose the SnoozeShade that suits the age of your child.
How does it attach to my pushchair? SnoozeShade Plus Extra attaches to absolutely any pushchair or stroller in seconds. The soft mesh, elasticated sides, stretchy straps and baby-safe poppers make it effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:
1. SnoozeShade Plus Extra has eight sets of straps, but you don’t need to use them all. As long as you have a secure fit with no gaps to let in light, you’re good to go.
2. Attach the straps to the frame of your stroller or through any gap you find (hood hinges are ideal). They can also be attached to each other around the back of (or under) the stroller. It’s fine to stretch the straps – they’re designed to extend as needed.
3. Pull the hood of the buggy forward at least halfway before attaching the top straps. Your SnoozeShade will then sit lower at the front and will be easier to attach at the bottom.
All our products exceed UK, European and US safety standards. Our fabric is not chemically treated, and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zips, straps and poppers. SnoozeShade is approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.

This item was perfect for us on our recent holiday to Tenerife. We have a 5 month old and were so careful to keep him out of the sun and this was perfect. Paired with a buggy fan and he was so cool in there. This even helped as a windbreaker with just the shade on the buggy and the front open! This is a perfect purchase for anyone heading on holiday with little ones and we will continue to use it now we are back home! Great product and great price!
Since ha I the snoozeshade plus extra it has made going out in the sun a little more relaxing knowing if my little one is in the sun when out and about I can pull out the snoozeshade. Knowing it protects 99% of UV rays also gives me reassurance in summer. We are yet to use it on holidays but I already have peace of mind knowing it’s packed and ready to go.

Fits buggy well, easy to attach but concerned about ventilation so haven’t been able to close fully, meaning UV rays protection isn’t as strong. Little overpriced I feel personally.
Hi Zoe,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our SnoozeShade Plus Extra. We are glad to hear that it fits your buggy well and is easy to attach. We understand your concerns about ventilation but all of our products are made from a scientifically tested air permeable mesh, so air is able to flow freely under our shades and closing it fully would not cause a problem for your little one.
Best wishes,

This was our first holiday with our 16 week old the snoozeshade was a life saver ! Helped massively when out walking to block the sun and during naps to keep it nice and dark.
Hi Jade! We are so happy to hear that our shade was a life saver for your first holiday with your little one. It's great to know that it helped keep your little one protected from the sun and created a nice dark environment for naps. Best wishes. Gaynor x
After seeing so many recommendations for this product I purchased one for our first family holiday. It was an absolute god send. We were in 30+ degree heat and it kept the sun off our little one and kept it extra dark for his naps whilst out and about. Well worth the money & wouldn’t be without one ❤️
Hi Charlotte. Thank you for your lovely review! We are very happy to hear that our SnoozeShade Plus worked so well for your family's holiday in the hot weather. Best wishes. Gaynor x
