SnoozeShade Original Pram Sunshade - 99% UV Protection for Newborns - Limited Edition Grey Trim

Why parents love it

SnoozeShade Original is a practical essential for parents with babies lying flat in a pram or carrycot. This limited edition Grey Trim version brings understated style to all the trusted features of our best-loved sun and sleep shade.

It protects delicate skin from 99% of harmful UV rays, blurs distractions, and blocks 94% of light—all while letting air flow freely through our proprietary EziBreez™ mesh, which is better than breathable. It’s the effortless way to help your baby nap soundly while staying safe and comfortable on the go.

What it does

• Blocks up to 99% of UV rays (UPF50+ rated protection)
• Shields baby from sun, wind, light rain, and chill
• Creates a darker environment to support daytime naps
• Helps your baby produce melatonin for better sleep
• Uses our EziBreez™ mesh—proprietary, air-permeable and better than breathable
• Works in shade mode or full snooze mode for flexible use
• Universal fit for single-width prams, carrycots, and travel system car seats

Why shade matters

Babies under 6 months have ultra-sensitive skin and very little melanin, making them more prone to sunburn and overheating. NHS guidance recommends keeping young babies completely out of direct sunlight.

SnoozeShade makes that easy—blocking 99% of UV while allowing airflow and visibility for parents. It’s peace of mind in shade form.

How it helps babies sleep

Bright light and busy surroundings can easily overstimulate a baby and disrupt their nap schedule. SnoozeShade helps your baby fall—and stay—asleep by creating a calm, darkened space that supports natural melatonin production.

• Used regularly, it becomes a predictable sleep cue that helps regulate your baby’s rhythm and can even support better night-time sleep.

Ideal for…

• Newborns and babies lying flat in prams and carrycots
• Infant car seats used in travel systems
• Day trips, holidays, errands, and nursery drop-offs
• Parents looking for a chic, neutral limited edition shade solution

Safety built in

Invented by a mum and tested to the highest standards, SnoozeShade is made from our exclusive EziBreez™ mesh—a proprietary air-permeable fabric that lets air flow freely while blocking UV and light.

Our products exceed UK, EU and US safety standards, are approved by the Melanoma International Foundation, and are free from chemical treatments. Every stitch, strap, and zip is baby-safe from birth.

Easy to use, easy to trust

• Fastens with six stretchy straps and Velcro loops
• Flexible fitting for all hood-and-handle setups
• Packs into a free storage bag for travel
• Machine washable at 30°C, tumble dry on low

Confused by online advice?

You’ve likely seen viral warnings about covering prams—but many lack context or science.

Experts like the Lullaby Trust advise against using covers that restrict airflow. SnoozeShade is scientifically tested for air permeability, so air can pass easily through while your baby stays shaded, cool, and calm.

It’s not just breathable—it’s better than breathable.

What about airflow and hot weather?

“Breathable” means moisture-wicking—not airflow. What matters most is air permeability.

SnoozeShade’s EziBreez™ mesh allows fresh air to circulate freely while warm air escapes. On hot days, you can pair it with a portable pram fan—just don’t point it directly at baby. Instead, angle it to gently circulate air around the pram.

Why naps improve night sleep

Skipping naps doesn’t help babies sleep better at night. In fact, overtiredness can lead to bedtime battles, night wakings, and early starts.

SnoozeShade supports daytime sleep by reducing stimulation and creating a sleep-friendly environment anywhere—so your baby rests well and sleeps more soundly at night.
