SnoozeShade Plus Extra - Universal Pushchair & Buggy Sunshade Blocks 99% of UV - Mosquito Net - Aids Baby Naps

SnoozeShade Plus Extra makes life easier when your child is in the stroller seat - whether they're napping or wide awake.

• Shade mode: The inner panel blocks up to 80% of UV while still allowing your child to see out. It also provides protection from wind, light rain, chill, and insects - ideal for sunny strolls, school runs, and everyday adventures.
• Snooze mode: When it’s time for a nap, simply add the outer snooze panel over the top. It creates a darker, distraction-free space that blocks 94% of light and 99% of UV (UPF 50%) - helping your little one nap wherever you are.

Both panels roll up neatly and tuck away into the front storage pocket - so you're never left juggling loose fabric or extra pieces.

Whether you're travelling, heading to the shops, exploring a theme park, or just walking to the park, SnoozeShade Plus Extra helps your little one stay protected and rested - without slowing you down.

SnoozeShade Plus Extra is designed for any child in the stroller seat - no matter their age.

Whether your little one is under six months and fully reclined, or a toddler sitting upright, Plus Extra is the best match when they’re in the stroller seat rather than a carrycot or lie-flat pram. It’s designed to give a better fit and easier use in that setup.

You can use it with:

• Any single-width pram, pushchair, or jogging stroller
• Tandem strollers (just use one Plus Extra per seat as needed)
• Some double buggies, depending on the frame style (if unsure, ask us!)

It’s ideal for:

• Everyday walks
• Nursery drop-offs
• Family outings and holidays
• Theme parks, day trips, or evenings out

Many families use it for years, especially for sunny days or travel. In fact, Cara (the inventor of SnoozeShade) used hers occasionally until her daughter was five years old - for naps on holiday, long days out, or evenings in busy restaurants.

If your child’s still using a stroller seat, SnoozeShade Plus Extra can make life easier.

The World Health Organization advises that shade be sought once the UV index reaches 3 or above - and in the UK, that often means most of the day from spring through September.

In fact, UV levels in the UK typically stay at or above 3 from April through September, especially between 11 am and 3 pm, when levels can reach 6 or 7 on bright days. But it's not just during those hours - in many cases, UV stays high from 9 am until early evening. Checking your smartphone's weather app will reveal the current index for your area.

That means a stroller walk at 9 or 5 pm in spring or summer can expose children to harmful UV - even if it feels cool or cloudy. That's because UV rays can pass through clouds, and also reflect off surfaces like concrete, snow, water, or sand, increasing the risk even in shaded areas.

☂️ Simple shade objects like parasols or stroller canopies rarely offer full coverage - and they don’t reliably protect from reflected UV. Blankets draped over pushchairs are not only ineffective, but also unsafe.

That’s why SnoozeShade Plus Extra, made with our EziBreez® mesh, offers consistent UPF 50+ protection across all angles, helping keep your child safe under the sun - wherever your day takes you.

SnoozeShade began with a simple idea: help babies sleep safely and comfortably in their pram, wherever they are. The Original version was created for newborns lying flat - but as my own daughter grew older and more curious, I realised something new was needed.

👀 SnoozeShade Plus Extra was designed for older babies and toddlers who sit up in the stroller seat and want to see the world. It features a single-layer front panel so little ones can look out while awake, and an outer snooze panel that zips up to block distractions at naptime.

🌞 It also provides essential sun protection for babies who won’t wear sunglasses. The mesh shades your child’s eyes and skin from harsh rays - without the battle.

🧡 Parents tell us they love using it on family outings, airport layovers, city breaks, long walks, and holidays, because even in busy places, their little one can nap peacefully.

🦟 It also acts as a built-in insect and mosquito net, so there’s no need to pack a separate one for summer travel.

🔒 The cover is secure yet flexible - no need to remove it every time your child wakes up, and no worries about toys getting flung out of the pram during a walk. (Yes, it doubles as a brilliant toy-catcher!)

🌬️ Best of all, it's not just for summer. It can be used all year round to shield against wind, light rain, chilly air, and even snow, making it a cosy, cocoon-like space for naps in any season.

👁️🗨️ And while your little one can see out, others will find it hard to see in. This clever design is part of what helps overstimulated toddlers switch off and settle down - and we’ve achieved it without using chemical treatments or coatings.

Whether you’re heading out on a quick errand or flying long-haul, SnoozeShade Plus Extra gives you the freedom to live life - without sacrificing your child’s comfort or sleep.

As babies grow into toddlers, naps can become more of a challenge. They’re more alert, easily overstimulated, and far too interested in the world around them to want to switch off. Add in busy environments, new places, or bright sunshine, and buggy naps can become a battle.

That’s where SnoozeShade Plus Extra comes in.

🌓 The built-in snooze panel zips up in seconds, creating a calm, shady cocoon that blurs distractions and helps little ones wind down.

🎢 Whether you’re at a theme park, café, or navigating a long-haul flight delay, it acts like a sensory reset—shielding your child from movement, light, and noise so they can relax.

🛬 It’s especially loved on holidays, days out, or during travel, because it helps prevent overtiredness (and all the chaos that can come with it).

💤 Many parents describe it as a “lifesaver” or a “godsend” because it becomes part of their little one’s nap routine—a consistent cue that it’s time to sleep, even when you're on the move. In fact, my own daughter used to ask for her SnoozeShade and dummy when she felt ready for a nap.

💡 And because it blocks up to 99% of UV, it keeps sun glare and harsh light from disturbing their rest.

The result? Longer naps, happier toddlers—and a much more relaxed parent.

It’s a myth that only babies need naps. In fact, most toddlers and many preschoolers still benefit hugely from daytime sleep—especially during growth spurts, travel, or big transitions like starting nursery.

😴 Sleep supports brain development, emotional regulation, and behaviour. Overtired children are more prone to tantrums, fussy eating, and poor sleep at night.

🧠 Studies show that children who nap regularly are better able to process information, manage emotions, and retain new skills.

🌞 But getting toddlers to nap on the go isn’t always easy. With so much going on, they resist sleep—even when they’re clearly tired.

That’s why SnoozeShade Plus Extra is such a game-changer.

• It blocks out distractions without completely cutting them off from the world.
• It reduces visual stimulation, which helps their brain shift into “rest mode.”
• And because it creates a familiar, consistent sleep environment, your little one knows what to expect—even in new places.

💬 We hear it from parents all the time:

“It’s the only way my toddler naps now!”
“My toddler never used to nap—now they do.”

Even if your child only naps occasionally—on long days out, or when they’ve had a bad night—those naps are golden. SnoozeShade helps you keep them on track.

We know safety comes first—especially when it comes to your child.

That’s why every SnoozeShade is designed by a mum (and UK safety ambassador) to meet the highest safety standards in the world. In fact, SnoozeShade is the only range of pram and sleep shades approved by INPAA, Australia's leading safety authority for nursery products.

• ✔️ Made from our exclusive EziBreez® mesh, which is air-permeable, blocks up to 99% of UV (when both panels are used), and is safe enough for a newborn to breathe against—even though this model is designed for older babies and toddlers.
• ✔️ Double-layered mesh is essential for UV protection. Some cheaper alternatives use only one layer, which may look similar but cannot block the same amount of harmful UV rays. If it's half the price, it's usually half the protection.
• ✔️ No long straps, toggles, magnets or buttons—nothing that could pose a choking, strangulation or entrapment risk. We only use short, safely positioned straps, and you don’t need to use them all—just the ones that suit your pram or pushchair.
• ✔️ No toxic dyes or chemicals. Every part of SnoozeShade is tested to the same standards as a newborn toy—including checks for heavy metals, flammability and more.
• ✔️ Trusted by over half a million families and recommended by sleep consultants, safety experts and health professionals around the world.

SnoozeShade was invented because safety mattered. And that will never change.

We believe clever products should make your life easier—not more complicated. That’s why every detail of SnoozeShade Plus Extra is designed with tired parents and wriggly toddlers in mind.

• ✔️ Universal fit – It works with absolutely any single-width pram or pushchair that has a hood. From joggers to travel strollers and tandems, it fits in seconds.
• ✔️ Flexible straps – You don’t need to use them all. We include extra straps because short straps are safer than long ones. Just use the ones that work for your pushchair.
• ✔️ Peek in without disturbing – The sneak-a-peek zip lets you check on your little one without letting in too much light or waking them.
• ✔️ Shade and snooze, your way – Use the inner shade panel for sun protection while they’re awake, and then zip up the outer snooze panel for naps. You can roll both panels away neatly into an integrated pocket.
• ✔️ Compact and lightweight – Folds down small so it’s easy to store in your handbag, changing bag or buggy basket.
• ✔️ Machine washable – Easy to keep clean. Just pop it in the washing machine at 30 degrees. You can hang it to dry or tumble dry on a low heat.
• ✔️ Use over a rain cover – SnoozeShade can be used over the top of your rain cover so you can still access the sneak-a-peek zip and other features. It dries quickly, so even rainy-day naps are no problem.
• ✔️ Multi-use – From daily errands to airport naps, from light rain to light snow, SnoozeShade isn’t just for sunny days. It’s one product you’ll use all year round.

Parents call it a lifesaver for a reason. It works—simply and brilliantly.

If you’ve been scrolling forums or parenting groups, you’ll know how confusing it can be.

Some people say never cover your pram – but that’s a misunderstanding. The actual advice is: don’t cover your pram with anything that restricts airflow.

SnoozeShade is made from air-permeable mesh and has been tested for airflow, light, and UV protection. It’s specifically designed to keep your child safe and comfortable.

Others insist a parasol is best – but as any parent knows, the moment you change direction or the sun moves, your baby ends up in full sun again. Parasols are patchy and awkward, especially for toddlers in strollers, where lower limbs and faces are often still exposed. So what else is there?

💡 SnoozeShade Plus Extra was created by a safety-obsessed mum who considered every worst-case scenario when designing the product. From the mesh to the straps, every element was carefully chosen to give parents peace of mind.

It’s made from our proprietary EziBreez® air-permeable mesh, which has been rigorously tested in world-class labs to meet international safety standards. It’s also the only range of sun and sleep shades approved by the INPAA (Infant & Nursery Products Alliance of Australia) – a benchmark for product safety in the nursery industry.

And while other products may cut corners, SnoozeShade never uses long straps, magnets, toggles or buttons – all of which can pose potential safety risks.

☀️ It’s one of the safest ways to protect your little one from the sun, full stop.

SnoozeShade Plus Extra is designed to make parents’ lives easier – with smart features that take the stress out of naptime and sun protection:

• ✅ Universal fit – Designed to fit absolutely any single-width pram, pushchair, or stroller with a hood. Also works on some tandem and side-by-side double buggies depending on the frame.
• ✅ Takes seconds to attach – Eight pairs of short straps allow flexible attachment to any frame or hood. You don’t need to use them all – just the ones that work for your pram.
• ✅ Built-in shade and snooze panels – The inner shade panel blocks 80% of UV to protect little ones while they’re awake. When it’s time to nap, zip up the outer snooze panel to block distractions and simulate night-time sleep.
• ✅ Integrated front pocket – The outer panel rolls up neatly into the hidden front pocket to keep it tidy and out of the way when not in use.
• ✅ One-way visibility – Little ones can see out, but it’s harder for others to see in – offering privacy, comfort, and security, especially for sensitive or easily distracted children.
• ✅ Long-lasting and travel-friendly – Lightweight, compact, and machine washable, it folds down to fit in your bag or under the stroller. Perfect for everyday use, holidays, nursery runs, and day trips.
• ✅ Extra safety built in – No long straps, toggles, magnets or buttons – all of which can pose entrapment or choking hazards. We only use the safest design elements, backed by independent lab testing to the most stringent international safety standards.

When you choose SnoozeShade, you’re choosing a product designed by a mum, trusted by hundreds of thousands of parents, and recommended by baby sleep consultants worldwide.

This is one of the most common questions we’re asked – and it's a really important one.

SnoozeShade is made from our unique EziBreez® air-permeable mesh, which means it allows air to flow freely in and out of the pram or stroller. It’s better than breathable – because it’s actually been tested to rigorous air-permeability standards, and shown to allow healthy airflow even when fully zipped up.

Unlike other covers that trap heat or block ventilation, SnoozeShade doesn’t create a “greenhouse effect.” There’s no sealed air chamber – just a constant flow of air, supported by natural convection.

🌬️ Here’s how it works:
When convection is allowed to play out as it should, warm air rises and is replaced by cooler air which naturally moves in from below. That’s why we recommend adjusting your pram hood – which is typically made from thick fabric that doesn’t allow air to move through it – especially if it’s very long or deep. Pushing it back slightly (not all the way) makes it easier for hot air to rise and escape through the SnoozeShade mesh.

This simple adjustment helps SnoozeShade do what it’s designed to do – allow air to circulate freely and move warm air away from your baby.

Some viral scare stories online warn against covering a pram, but SnoozeShade isn’t the type of cover they’re warning about. In fact:

• • Our mesh blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays while still allowing excellent ventilation.
• • Parents in hot climates like Australia, the UAE, and Southern Europe have used SnoozeShade safely since 2010.
• • We’ve even run 24-hour in-pram heat stress tests using data loggers – and the results showed no temperature build-up inside the pram.

And for an extra boost on especially hot days, pairing SnoozeShade with a pram fan is a great way to keep things breezy and comfortable on the go.
