How does it work? SnoozeShade Original creates a comfortingly dark space that encourages sleep 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 from getting the deeper, longer nap they need. SnoozeShade can be used in snooze mode or shade mode, both of which protect from 99% of UV rays.
What's 'snooze mode'? Use SnoozeShade Original to completely cover your stroller when it’s time for an on-the-go nap. This creates a sleep-friendly environment that blurs distractions and shuts out 94% of light. A sleeping-baby emblem deters people from disturbing your baby, while the sneak-a-peek zipper means you can check in on them without letting in light.
What's 'shade mode'? Attach SnoozeShade to the hood and handle of your stroller to create an overhead canopy that shades baby from 99% of UVA and UVB rays.
Why should I keep my baby out of the sun? Doctors state that babies under six months must be kept completely out of direct sunlight. Their skin is too sensitive for sunscreen and contains very little melanin, which means they burn more easily. The Skin Cancer Foundation says incidents of sunburn during childhood multiply the risk of one day developing skin cancer, including melanoma.
Will it help my baby sleep? SnoozeShade Original can be used from birth to help you establish a sleep schedule without being stuck at home. When in snooze mode, it works like a portable blackout shade to create a sleep-friendly space, blocking out 94% of light and blurring distractions. It’s recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide and when used regularly it becomes a sleep cue that helps your child learn when it’s naptime.
What age is it suitable for? We recommend SnoozeShade Original from birth to six months, because it’s proportioned for a baby who is mostly lying flat. If you have an older child who's sitting up and wants to see out of their stroller, you’ll find SnoozeShade Plus or SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe is a better fit.
Is it machine-washable? Of course – it was invented by a mom! All SnoozeShades are machine washable at 30° and can be tumble-dried on low heat.
Will it fit my stroller? Yes! SnoozeShade Original is universally sized and fits any single-width stroller 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 stroller you have – simply choose the SnoozeShade that suits the age of your child.
Can I use it with a travel system? Yes, you can use SnoozeShade Original with an infant carrier as part of a travel system. Use it to safely cover your baby at naptime or attach it to the hood and handle to extend the sun canopy.
Do I need to leave my SnoozeShade on my pram or pushchair all the time? No, SnoozeShade Original 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 stroller basket.
How does it attach to my stroller? SnoozeShade Original attaches in seconds. The soft mesh, elasticated sides, and stretchy straps make it effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:
1. There are six 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 carrycot or seat. It’s fine to stretch the straps – they’re designed to extend as needed.
3. Pull the hood of the stroller 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.

Why SnoozeShade Original is safe to use:
SnoozeShade was invented by Cara Sayer – a safety-obsessed British mom who needed to help her daughter sleep soundly and stay protected from the sun while in her stroller. Unlike a blanket or muslin, our scientifically tested fabric is totally 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 tested to and exceed US 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 zippers and straps.

I had been very worried about my newborn avoiding the sun. The pram had only a shaded hood but on sunny days this is not adequate. The snooze shade has been the perfect solution to this problem.
Perfect for the hot sunny outings!!
