Why do parents call SnoozeShade a game changer?
✔️ It creates a sleep-friendly environment for your child, 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 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 child 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.
If your little one is in a stroller seat (regardless of whether the seat is upright or reclined) we suggest you get a Plus Deluxe or Plus Extra..

How doesSnoozeShade Plus Extra work? SnoozeShade creates a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin (the sleepy hormone). When your baby 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. Use it in snooze mode or shade mode – both provide UV protection.
What is the shade mode? SnoozeShade Plus Extra can be used in shade mode to shield your child from up to 80% of UV rays while 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 buggy nap, convert SnoozeShade PlusExtra 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. This creates 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 lets you check on 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 SnoozeShade Plus Extra help my child nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade acts like a portable blackout blind to create a sleep-friendly space. It’s recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide, because when used regularly it becomes a sleep cue for your child, helping them learn when it’s naptime in the same way shutting the curtains at home does.
What age is it for? We recommend SnoozeShade Plus Extra for babies and toddlers who are seated in the stroller seat, because it’s proportioned to fit around a child who is sitting up and wanting to see out. We say from around 6 months but it's just a guide - the most important thing is baby's seating position. If you’re looking for a SnoozeShade for a baby who's in a carrycot, SnoozeShade Original will be a better fit.
You can continue using your SnoozeShade Plus Extra as long as your child is in their pushchair. Our founder, Cara, still used her Plus Deluxe occasionally for the odd holiday, airport or airplane trip until her daughter was five years old!
Is it machine washable? Of course – it was invented by a mum! All SnoozeShade products are machine washable at 30° and can be tumble dried on a low heat.
1. SnoozeShade PlusExtra 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.
All our products exceed UK, European and US safety standards. Our fabric is not chemically treated, and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zips, straps and poppers. SnoozeShade is approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.

Absolutely brilliant product and the customer service team couldn’t have been more helpful.
I can’t comment on the snoozeshade yet as I wasn’t able to use it on my recent holiday (long story) but wanted to say that I was really impressed with the customer service, I chose the wrong postage option but it was rectified and I got my items before travel! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend - great experience
Bought the snooze shade for on holiday and it was fab! Little one slept even longer in her buggy than at home! Lots of ventilation but still kept the buggy dark enough for a good solid nap!
So glad we bought the Snoozeshade for going on holiday, the peace of mind knowing our son was protected from the sun and heat was great liked being able to take a wee peak at him from the top too
Would not go on holiday without it, my daughter was able to nap both through the day and at night. I have recommend to so many of my friends!
