How to fit SnoozeShade Plus EXTRA
In late 2023 we developed a new version of SnoozeShade Plus following on from feedback from parents who wanted it to be similar to the Plus Deluxe and fully open at the front.
The quickest way to tell which model you have is to check if the front fully opens - if you're still not sure then check the washing label on the inside and there will be a batch code that starts SSP-23 or SSP-extra.
If it says just SSP then you have the pre-2023 model.
SnoozeShade Plus fits absolutely any single-width pram or pushchair with a hood and takes just seconds to attach.
Below you’ll find our short demonstration videos, which show you how to fit SnoozeShade Plus to a variety of different pram, carrycot and stroller styles. Before you dive into the demos, check out our top tips on fitting your SnoozeShade Plus:
1. You don’t need to use ALL the straps, only as many as work for you and your pushchair. There are eight pairs of short straps on the SnoozeShade Plus, because this is safer option than having fewer, longer straps which could pose a strangulation or entrapment risk. You may only need to use one or two pairs of straps, other prams might need all eight to get a secure fit. Have a play and, if you get stuck, then get in touch (Instagram or Facebook are easiest) with photos and we can help.
2. Pull the hood of your pram or pushchair forward at least halfway before attaching the top straps. Your SnoozeShade Plus will then sit lower at the front and will be easier to attach at the bottom.
3. The straps don’t have to be attached to the frame of your pram or pushchair. You can attach them to each other through any gap you find – hood hinges are ideal. You can also attach the straps to each other around the back of (or under) the carrycot or seat. Remember you might not need to use all the straps, and it’s fine to stretch them as needed.
If you need any personalised advice, the SnoozeShade team is always here to help. Just send us a message and we’ll be in touch. We really want you to get the best out of your SnoozeShade Plus and, honestly, there's no such thing as a silly question. So ask away!

Washing instructions
- SnoozeShade Plus is machine washable at 30° and can be tumble dried on low heat.

Safety advice
SnoozeShade was invented by a British mum, Cara Sayer, who needed a solution to help her baby daughter sleep soundly in her pram. Our scientifically tested fabric is free from chemicals and completely air permeable (which means air passes through it freely), and all our products are designed to exceed UK, European and US standards. Every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zips and straps.
The following information will help ensure you use your SnoozeShade Plus safely. Please read it carefully:
- Whether you’re using SnoozeShade indoors or outdoors, please check regularly that your baby is well hydrated and comfortable. Our sneak-a-peek zip allows you to quickly check on your little one without disturbing their nap.
- Children should not be left unattended in a pram or stroller at any time and should always wear a correctly fitted harness where appropriate.
- When stationary, even indoors, turn the front of your pram or stroller away from direct sun. Always seek shade wherever possible.
- UV rays (including reflected UV rays) will enter the pram or stroller through any open area not covered by SnoozeShade. UV rays are reflected by water, concrete, snow, sand and other surfaces.
- Doctors worldwide state that babies under six months must be kept completely out of direct sunlight.
- General sun-safety guidance from around the world suggests keeping a child of any age out of direct sun between 11am and 4pm.
- Check local advice on keeping babies and small children safe in the sun and hot conditions. Advice may vary in different countries.
- SnoozeShade, like any shade product, should always be used with other recommended forms of sun protection such as sun lotion, hats, sunglasses and protective clothing.
- It’s not advisable to use SnoozeShade in strong winds or heavy rain.
- This product cannot replace responsible adult supervision to prevent sunburn, overheating or dehydration.
