Why should I keep my baby out of the sun?

According to the NHS and health experts worldwide, babies under 6 months should be kept completely out of direct sunlight. That’s because their skin is incredibly delicate, contains very little melanin, and is too sensitive for sunscreen. Even a short time in the sun can lead to sunburn or overheating.

How does SnoozeShade Original help my baby nap?

Getting a baby to nap—especially outside the house—can feel impossible. Bright light, busy surroundings, and sudden distractions all make it harder for little ones to wind down and stay asleep.

SnoozeShade Original creates a comfortingly dark space that signals it’s time to rest. By reducing visual stimulation and blocking 94% of light, it helps your baby produce melatonin—the sleep hormone—and drift off more easily.

When your baby naturally stirs at the end of a sleep cycle, the gentle darkness helps stop them from fixating on what’s going on around them, giving them a better chance of settling back into a longer, deeper nap.

Used in snooze mode or shade mode, SnoozeShade also blocks up to 99% of UV rays, keeping your little one protected and well-rested wherever you are.

Perfect for…

• Newborns and babies lying flat in a pram or carrycot

Which SnoozeShade do I need?

If your baby is lying flat in a pram or carrycot, SnoozeShade Original is the perfect fit. It’s designed for newborns and younger babies and provides a soft, secure space that blocks light and UV—ideal for napping from day one.

Once your little one starts sitting up confidently in the stroller seat, they usually want to see out and stay more alert between naps. That’s when it’s time to move to SnoozeShade Plus Extra or SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe - both designed for upright seating with a lookout window for curious toddlers.

Worried about covering your baby’s pram? You’re not alone.

If you’ve ever searched online for advice about covering your baby’s pram, you’ve probably come across alarming headlines and viral posts warning against it. Unfortunately, many of these aren’t based on real science—they’re attention-grabbing soundbites, not safety-backed guidance.

The Lullaby Trust and other experts rightly advise against using unsafe covers—like blankets, muslins, or makeshift cloths—that can trap heat and restrict airflow. This is where SnoozeShade is completely different.

Our fabric is scientifically tested for air permeability, meaning it allows air to flow freely through it. It’s also approved to the same safety standards as a newborn toy and is free from chemicals or treatments that could be harmful to your baby.

We designed SnoozeShade to take the guesswork—and the worry—out of safe sun protection and sleep. So when you see confusing advice online, know this:
SnoozeShade isn’t a blanket. It’s a purpose-built, safety-tested solution created by a mum, for parents who want peace of mind.

What about breathability and airflow?

We get this question a lot—and it’s an important one.

The word “breathable” is often misunderstood. Technically, it refers to how a fabric wicks moisture—not how air flows through it. What really matters for your baby’s comfort and safety is air permeability—and that’s where SnoozeShade excels.

Our unique EziBreez™ mesh is scientifically air-permeable, meaning fresh air can pass through freely. It allows warm air to escape and cooler air to circulate, helping your baby stay comfortable—even on warmer days.

If it’s hot and humid, you can also use a portable pram fan—just be sure not to point it directly at your baby. Instead, angle it to circulate air around the pram gently for safer, more effective cooling.

SnoozeShade is made to protect your baby, not trap heat—and it’s safety tested to the same standards as a newborn toy.

How daytime naps help your baby sleep better at night

It might seem counterintuitive, but skipping naps in the day doesn’t lead to better nighttime sleep—in fact, the opposite is often true.

When babies get overtired, their bodies produce stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, making it harder for them to fall - and stay - asleep. This can lead to bedtime battles, night wakings, and early starts.

Good daytime naps help regulate your baby’s sleep cycle, keeping their body and brain well-rested. When your baby naps at regular intervals, it helps them fall asleep more easily at bedtime and sleep more soundly through the night.

SnoozeShade makes daytime naps possible anywhere, so you don’t have to choose between protecting their sleep and getting out of the house.

Is SnoozeShade machine washable?

Of course—it was invented by a mum!
All SnoozeShades are machine washable at 30°C and can be tumble dried on a low heat. It’s durable, practical, and made to survive real life with a baby.
