SnoozeShade Plus (6m+) | Universal-fit pushchair/buggy sun and sleep shade | Blocks up to 99% of UV
Designed to be used once your little one is sitting in the stroller seat (anywhere from 6m+), SnoozeShade Plus is the next step up once baby has outgrown their SnoozeShade Original. At nearly 3 times the size of an Original, it boasts additional functionality suited to children who are sitting up and want to see out when awake.
This award-winning sun and sleep shade is made from better-than-breathable mesh fabric that lets air flow freely and safely blocks up to 99% of UV rays (UPF50+). When it’s naptime, pull up the snooze panel to shut out light to keep your little one’s nap routine on track while you’re on the go.
SnoozeShade Plus fits absolutely any single-width pushchair or stroller with a hood and is quick and easy to attach. It will last until your little one has outgrown their stroller.
If your little one is over 6 months old and has not used a SnoozeShade before, we recommend SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe as it the front fully opens which older babies tend to prefer.

Why do parents call SnoozeShade a game changer?
✔️ It creates a sleep-friendly environment for your little one, giving you the freedom to leave the house without disrupting their nap routine. (Because no parent wants an overtired child on their hands come bedtime!)
✔️ You can enjoy sunny days outside while protecting your child from harmful UV rays when they’re in the buggy.
✔️ You have the peace of mind of knowing our mesh fabric is completely air permeable – unlike a muslin or blanket draped over the pushchair.
✔️ 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 or in shade mode to protect your child from the sun while they enjoy the sights.
How does SnoozeShade Plus work? SnoozeShade Plus creates a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin (the sleepy hormone) and blurring distractions. When your child 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 Plus can be used in snooze mode or shade mode, both of which provide UV protection.
What is the shade mode? SnoozeShade Plus can be used in shade mode to shield your child from 80% of UV rays while still allowing them to see out through the inner window, which is made from a single panel of our innovative mesh. In this mode, SnoozeShade Plus will also protect from wind, light rain and pesky insects.
Please note the inner window does not open. If you would prefer both front panels to fully open, SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe would be a better option.
What is the snooze mode? When it’s time for a buggy nap, convert your SnoozeShade Plus to snooze mode by zipping up the outer panel (an extra layer of air-permeable mesh). This snooze panel covers the inner window to create a sleep-friendly environment that blurs distractions, shuts out 94% of light and blocks 99% of UV rays (UPF 50+).
A sleeping-baby emblem deters people from disturbing your child, while the sneak-a-peek zip means you can discreetly check on your sleeping beauty without letting in too much light.
When the snooze panel is not in use, simply roll it up and secure it with the integrated straps to stop it snagging on your wheels.
Will SnoozeShade Plus help my child nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade Plus works like a portable blackout blind, creating a sleep-friendly space by blocking out 94% of light and blurring distractions. It’s recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide, because when used regularly it acts as a sleep cue, helping your child learn when it’s nap time in the same way shutting the curtains in their nursery does.
What age is it for? We recommend SnoozeShade Plus for babies from six months, because it’s proportioned to fit pushchairs and strollers when your little one is sitting up and wants to see out. If you’re looking for a SnoozeShade for a smaller baby in a carry cot, you’ll find SnoozeShade Original is a better fit.
You can continue using SnoozeShade Plus as long as your child is in their pushchair. Our founder, Cara, still used hers occasionally when her daughter was five!
Is SnoozeShade Plus 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 pushchair? Yes! SnoozeShades are all universally sized and fit all single-width buggies and pushchairs with a hood, including jogging strollers. We’ve even seen them used on Thule bike trailers and festival trolleys!
You don’t need to worry about the type of pushchair you have and whether it will fit. Simply choose the SnoozeShade that suits the age of your child.
How does SnoozeShade Plus attach to my pushchair? SnoozeShade Plus attaches to absolutely any buggy in seconds. The soft mesh, elasticated sides and stretchy straps make it effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:
1. SnoozeShade Plus has eight sets of straps, but you don’t need to use them all. As long as you have a secure fit with no gaps to let in light, you’re good to go.
2. Attach the straps to the frame of your stroller or through any gap you find (hood hinges are ideal). They can also be attached to each other around the back of (or under) the stroller. It’s fine to stretch the straps – they’re designed to extend as needed.
3. Pull the hood of the buggy forward at least halfway before attaching the top straps. Your SnoozeShade will then sit lower at the front and will be easier to attach at the bottom.

Do I need to leave it on my pushchair all the time? No, SnoozeShade Plus is super lightweight and packs down into a handy storage bag (free with every order) that’s compact enough to pop into your change bag or buggy basket.
Why SnoozeShade is safe to use: SnoozeShade was invented by Cara Sayer – a safety-obsessed mum who wanted a solution to help her daughter sleep soundly and stay protected from the sun in her pushchair.
Unlike a blanket or muslin, our scientifically tested fabric is completely air permeable, which means air passes through it freely. If you were to hold a SnoozeShade up to your face, you’d be able to breathe comfortably.
All our products are designed to exceed UK, European and US safety standards and are approved by the Melanoma International Foundation. Our fabric is not treated with any chemicals and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zips and straps.

I bought this for when I took my 18 month daughter on holiday. It was brilliant. She was able to nap in it by the pool and at the beach totally undisturbed and safe from the sun. When she was tired she began to look for it.
Honestly couldn’t recommend it enough it is a must have for going on holiday with a baby/toddler. I had previously bought one for my pram when she was a baby and that was also amazing at getting her to sleep especially during the hot weather.
Can’t recommend the snooze shade enough - wish I had purchased it sooner! Really good quality and design, my 5 month old loved being able to snooze in the shade in his buggy on our first abroad holiday!
Perfect for holidays so you can still be out and about and even at night he was able to go to sleep in his pram whilst we were out for our evening meal.
Love the sneak peek zip function so you can check on your little ones and the window to allow them to be protected whilst awake.
Really easy to use and fit onto any buggy.
Highly recommend!! Our baby would not sleep in the pram and now she does thanks to the snooze shade
We bought this to go on the Babyzen Yoyo on holiday.
It is very big/baggy on this pushchair and touches baby's feet however it does secure around the frame.
We have used exclusively at night rather than for UV protection during the day and he has slept well through our evening meal and evening entertainment. It creates a dark environment which is great.
I do find, coming out of the pram, baby is very warm however so needs to be dressed more lightly
A really clever idea, but we tried to introduce it to our baby at 13 months and he won't have it... Probably easier with younger babies
