Why shade matters
NHS guidance recommends keeping babies under 6 months old completely out of direct sunlight. Their ultra-sensitive skin has very little melanin, making them more prone to sunburn and overheating.
SnoozeShade makes that easy - blocking 99% of UV while allowing airflow and visibility for parents. It’s peace of mind in shade form.
Why was SnoozeShade invented?
Why doesn't a normal pram parasol do the job? Traditional pram parasols only work when the sun stays in one place - but we all know that’s not real life. One turn of the pushchair and the shade slips, leaving baby exposed. SnoozeShade was created to provide consistent, reliable sun protection that actually stays put - so your baby stays safely shaded, wherever you go.
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.
💤 Why daytime naps matter for babies aged 0–6 months
In the first six months, sleep is essential for your baby’s brain development and physical growth—it’s when so much of that magic happens. Daytime naps help lower cortisol (the stress hormone), which means your baby is calmer and more settled when it’s time to sleep at night. SnoozeShade makes it easier to get those all-important naps on the go—so your baby gets the rest they need, wherever you are.
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 are designed to exceed required 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.

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 cannot restrict airflow due to its scientifically tested 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” refers to a fabric's ability to moisture-wick - it has little to do with airflow. What matters most is air permeability.
SnoozeShade’s EziBreez® mesh is rated as highly air-permeable and 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.
💡 Tip for warm weather:
For added comfort on hot days, we recommend pairing your SnoozeShade with a portable pram fan. Moving air around your baby-even when it’s humid-can help them feel cooler and more comfortable.
FAQs
Will it fit my pram or carrycot?
Yes! It’s universally sized to fit all single-width prams, carrycots, and over infant car seats used in travel systems.
Can I use it with a travel system?
Yes - just attach it to the carry handle and hood of your infant car seat for safe, shaded naps on the go.
Can I use it with my stroller as baby is fully reclined?
We suggest you get a SnoozeShade for strollers, e.g., SnoozeShade Plus Extra or Plus Deluxe, as they are designed to fit strollers with ease.
Do I need to leave it on all the time?
Not at all. It folds down into a free storage pouch, perfect for your changing bag or buggy basket.
How do I attach it?
Use any of the six straps to secure it around the pram’s hood and frame. You don’t need to use them all - just the ones you need to get the fit you want.
