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 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.
You can find full instructions for SnoozeShade Plus here. If you need any personalised advice on fitting or using your SnoozeShade, please get in touch.
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.

We purchased this after having used the smaller one for our baby since birth. Excellent product! Definitely a must buy for the summer. Can’t recommend enough.
Amazing for when we were on holiday. Used during the day to allow baby to nap safely outside and at night when having a meal.
Bought the snooze shade for our holiday and it was amazing - baby napped in the shade while we could enjoy the sun! Been using back home as well, it’s great for day naps when I’m out running errands. Thanks so much
Hi Jodie
Thank you so much for you review - lovely to hear you could enjoy the sun whilst your baby napped, and also that it is so useful at home too!
Best wishes

This and the younger snoozeshade are essential pieces of kit. Recommend
Needed something to protect baby from strong Australian sun. This does the trip but found baby can get quite sweaty when fully covered up.
