How does it make parents' lives easier?
✔️ SnoozeShade for Infant Carriers helps your baby get the sleep they need while you’re on the move, giving you the freedom to leave home without worrying about them missing a nap.
✔️ You can enjoy sunny days outside while giving your baby 360-degree protection from harmful UV rays, wind, light rain and pesky bugs.
✔️ You have peace of mind that our innovative mesh fabric is completely air-permeable – unlike a muslin or blanket.
✔️ Our sneak-a-peek zip makes it quick and easy to check on your sleeping baby without disturbing them.
✔️ It’s super versatile! Use it in snooze mode for naps and to block 99% of UV, or in shade mode to create a front window that allows your baby to see out, while still protecting from 80% of UV.
How does it work? It 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. SnoozeShade can be used in snooze mode or shade mode, both of which provide safe UV protection.
Many parents say their SnoozeShade deters people from uninvitedly touching their baby, which can be a worry before they’ve had their jabs. The ‘please don’t touch’ label acts as an extra deterrent!
What is the snooze mode? When you want to completely shade your baby or encourage sleep, fasten both the inner and outer panels of your SnoozeShade. Our fabric blocks 99% of UV, 94% of light and blurs distractions, to help babies switch off. The sneak-a-peek zip allows you to check on them without letting in light.
What is the shade mode? When baby is awake, use your SnoozeShade as a car-seat sunshade by tucking the snooze panel into the integrated pocket. This reveals a single-layer mesh window that blocks 80% of UV, but allows your baby to see out. You can't see clearly through the shade panel from outside, but you can open the two-way zip either partially or fully for a clearer view of your baby. The shade panel can also be tucked away in the integrated front pocket if you’re not using it.
When in shade mode, your baby is still fully protected overhead and at the back and sides by a double layer of mesh that blocks 99% of UV (UPF 50+).
Why should I keep my baby out of the sun? Doctors state that babies under six months must be kept completely out of direct sunlight. Their skin is too sensitive for sunscreen and contains very little melanin, so they burn easily. The Skin Cancer Foundation says incidents of sunburn during childhood multiply the risk of one day developing skin cancer. SnoozeShade is the ONLY infant car-seat canopy approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.
Will SnoozeShade help my baby nap? Baby-sleep experts love SnoozeShades, because they work like portable blackout blinds, creating a sleep-friendly space and acting as a cue for naptime.
SnoozeShade also makes it easier to transfer baby from the car without waking them, because they’re not startled by a sudden change in light or air temperature. If you’re travelling at night, it can help your baby sleep by blocking out bright lights.
What age is it for? SnoozeShade can be used from birth until your baby outgrows the car seat at around nine months.
Is SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats machine washable? Of course – it was invented by a mum! All SnoozeShades are machine washable at 30° and can be tumble dried on a low heat.
Will it fit my car seat? SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats will fit any Group 0 or 0+ infant car seat with a rigid carry handle. It has been tried and tested on popular infant carriers by Maxi-Cosi, Cosatto, Graco, Chicco, Britax, Doona, Concord and more.
How does it attach to my car seat? SnoozeShade attaches in seconds. The soft mesh, elasticated sides and stretchy straps make it super easy – even with one hand!
1. If your car seat has an integrated hood, push it all the way back.
2. Make sure the handle is in the upright position and wrap the two top straps around it, securing with the Velcro pads.
3. Pull the elasticated edges of the SnoozeShade over the front and back of your car seat.

Do I need to leave SnoozeShade on my car seat? Many parents simply leave it installed. It’s easy to lift your baby in and out through the front panel, and you can still carry the car seat by its handle with SnoozeShade in place. If you prefer to remove it, SnoozeShade packs down into a compact storage bag, included free with every order.
Why SnoozeShade is safe to use: SnoozeShade was invented by Cara Sayer – a safety-obsessed mum who wanted to help her daughter sleep soundly and stay protected from the sun while in her pushchair. Unlike a blanket or muslin, our scientifically tested fabric is air permeable, which means air passes through it freely both indoors and outdoors. Hold a SnoozeShade up to your face and you’ll find you can breathe comfortably.
All our products are tested to and 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 (the world’s only certified baby-safe poppers).
Medical professionals recommend babies spend as little time as possible in infant carriers, as the healthiest position for them is lying flat. It goes without saying that a child should never be left unattended in a car, even for a moment. Always ensure there is air movement in the car.

Yes – I want more sleep!The concept of the snooze shade is great and I really want to love this product but the elastic that goes around the base of the bucket seat is not tight/strong enough to hold onto the seat. My baby is 7 months old and she can kick it off, which often wakes her up if shes napping.
Perfect to protect your newborn from the sun ??
This has saved my little for from random people trying to touch him or stick their face into his. It's also grate for shade from the sun but does get pretty warm inside for the baby. When it's nap time it definitely helps keep the sun out of my babys eyes and allows him to rest.
We cannot recommend this Snoozeshade enough and we were lucky enough to be gifted this product. The benefits of this product are fantastic, it allows your little one to nap on the move and also get great protection from the sun and also the wind and light rain. It fits perfectly on our Silver Cross car seat and is well designed with many great features e.g. the sneak peak zip. Easy to fit on to the car seat.
This product is a must have!
