What is SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe? This is a double-width pushchair shade created in silver-grey fabric with a black trim and the only certified baby-safe poppers in the world.
It has been designed for parents with two children of different ages and can be used from birth right up until they outgrow the pushchair. Ideal if you have a new baby and an older child in a double buggy!
How does it work? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe can be used in snooze mode or shade mode, both of which provide UV protection. It’s easy to switch between the modes and you can choose to have both sides the same, or one side in snooze mode and the other in shade mode. So, if one child needs to sleep but the other is wide awake and wanting to see out, it’s no problem!
What is the shade mode? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe can be used in shade mode to shield your children from up to 80% of UV rays while still allowing them to see out. Simply zip up the inner window – a single panel of our unique mesh – to protect from sun, wind, light rain and insects. The shade panel has two zips, so you can leave it partially or fully open, or close it completely for maximum protection.
What is the snooze mode? When it’s time for a nap, convert your SnoozeShade to snooze mode by zipping up the shade panel and securing the outer snooze panel (an extra layer of mesh) using our baby-safe poppers. You can close the entire snooze panel, or just close it at one side to allow one child to see out.
When the snooze panel is completely closed, SnoozeShade creates a sleep-friendly environment that blurs distractions, shuts out 94% of light and blocks up to 97.5% of UV rays (UPF 40+). A sleeping-baby emblem deters people from disturbing your children, while the sneak-a-peek zip lets you check on one of both of them without letting in too much light.
When the snooze and/or shade panels are not in use, simply roll them up and store them in the integrated front pocket to stop them snagging on your wheels.
Will it help my children nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade acts like a portable blackout blind to create a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin (the sleepy hormone). 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 is recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide, because when used regularly it becomes a sleep cue, helping your child learn when it’s naptime in the same way shutting the curtains at home does.
What age is SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe for? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe can be used for two children of different ages, from birth right up until they outgrow their pushchair.
Is it 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? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe is universally sized to fit all double-width prams and pushchairs with either two separate hoods or one wide one. If you have a tandem pram you will need two single SnoozeShades: Original (0-6m) or Plus (6m+)
How does it attach to my pushchair? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe features elasticated sides, stretchy straps and baby-safe poppers that make it fast and effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:
1. SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe 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 pushchair or through any gap you find (hood hinges are ideal). The straps are designed to stretch as needed and can also be attached to each other around the back of (or under) the pushchair.
3. Pull the hood/s 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 Twin Deluxe is super lightweight and packs down into a 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 needed to help her daughter sleep 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 hold a SnoozeShade up to your face, you’ll find you can breathe comfortably.
All our products exceed required UK, European and US safety standards and are approved by the Melanoma International Foundation. Our fabric is not chemically treated, and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zips, straps and poppers.
