SSL Secure Connection You're a parent – of course you need more sleep in your life!
But did you know that if you're working on getting your baby to sleep more at night, you need to get their daytime naps on track?
It's a fact that sleep breeds sleep. A baby who gets enough sleep in the day sleeps better at night.
But wait… if your baby won't nap in their stroller, does that mean your only options are to stay home all day every day, or go out and risk overtired meltdowns and (yet another) terrible night?
Fear not. There is another way!
SnoozeShade Original is America’s favorite stroller shade for babies from birth to six months. Invented by a UK mom who was once in your shoes, it safely shuts out light (and 99% of UVA and UVB rays) to get your little one sleeping soundly while you’re out and about.
- Suitable from birth
- Exceeds US safety standards
- Compatible with standard pack'n'plays & travel cribs

"Game changer! This amazing shade changed all my outings for the better. My little guy has been able to sleep in his stroller no problem, as it blocks out light and sun. It's amazing!"
Winner of 80+ awards!
How does it work?
By instantly transforming your stroller into a calm and comfortingly dark space, SnoozeShade creates the perfect environment for the on-the-go nap of (your) dreams.
It's recommended by the world's leading baby sleep consultants, because it's effective, easy to use, and SAFE.
Think of it as your baby's portable blackout blind!

The outside world is blurred, so if your baby stirs at the end of their sleep cycle, there are no distractions to fully wake them. And so, they go back to sleep!
"But can't I just drape a blanket over the stroller?"
That, right there, is one of the main reasons SnoozeShade founder Cara invented this game-changing product.
Cara invented SnoozeShade for her own precious baby, Holly, who was a champion dodger of stroller naps. Refusing to be confined to the house every day, Cara looked for a solution and soon learned that draping a muslin/blanket/coat over a stroller is simply not safe for any length of time, because those kinds of fabrics do not let air circulate freely.
To say Cara is safety-obsessed is an understatement, so that's why you can count on SnoozeShade not only to transform your baby's daytime naps, but to keep them safe in more ways than one.
Better than breathable
Unlike a blanket or muslin, our mesh fabric has been independently tested and proven to be air-permeable, which means air passes through it easily.
There is no danger that your baby's ability to breathe will be affected. In fact, if you hold a SnoozeShade up to your face you'll find you're able to breathe comfortably (now try that with a blanket, coat or muslin).
Every part is safe enough for a newborn
A product like SnoozeShade is only required by law to be safe enough for a three-year-old, because the product is actually being used by the parent, not the child.
But that wasn't safe enough for Cara
Every SnoozeShade product is designed to meet the same safety regulations as a toy for a newborn baby – the highest standard possible – and our safety features include the following:
- Short straps that pose no risk of strangulation or entrapment
- Strong zippers that won't break – even under heavy loads
- Absolutely no toxic nasties in our fabric or any component
- Non-flammable fabric
UPF 50+ protection
Babies under six months must be kept completely out of direct sunlight to protect their delicate skin and eyes.
SnoozeShade Original blocks 99% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, keeping your little one safely shaded while you're out and about.
Sneak-a-peek zipper
No product on earth can replace parental supervision to keep your baby safe.
That's why SnoozeShade features a sneak-a-peek zipper so you can easily check on your sleeping beauty without letting in too much light.
See how easy it is to use!
SnoozeShade fits absolutely any single-width bassinet or stroller with a hood. And it takes just seconds to attach! Use it in four different ways to keep your baby safe and your sleep schedule on track while you’re on the go.

Nap times have been revolutionized!
"We use our stroller bassinet for nap times (even in the house) and our 11-week-old has started doing really long naps since we got the SnoozeShade. It’s just brilliant. She sleeps in our room and with the SnoozeShade on I can keep the curtains open and sort the laundry etc. while she’s in there. I’m thinking about getting the shade for the travel crib too for when she’s a bit bigger. We also used it over the infant carrier on a long journey recently which worked well."
–Flora
An absolute must have
"Saw another mom with this and decided to buy. Haven't looked back since! My little one used to hate the stroller/car seat etc., but as soon as I pop this on he calms down and falls asleep. It's great how cool the environment stays inside as well. We've used in hot weather and direct sunlight, and it stays nice and cool inside. A MUST buy for all parents."
–Rhianna
Great Stroller Shade
"Grabbed this stroller shade for our trip to Disneyland. It worked so well for our 4 month old. She napped in her stroller and it blocked out sun and created a quiet place for her free from distractions. It is lightweight and breathable and had easy access to the zipper to check on your little one as they sleep. I love how easily it comes on and off the stroller for when you are not using it. Highly recommend this product. Will use it all summer long."
–Sheldon Pearson
Yas finally!
"Finally a product you know was designed by mothers! A breathable mesh cover, with UV protection, versatility on strollers and a zipper opening in front. Everything you would ask for! Recently just got the mockingbird stroller, although we love it the sunshade is very frustrating because there’s no way to look at the baby without taking it completely off. Didn’t want to spend money buying another product but this has done the trick!!!"
–Elena Alexander
FREE two-year warranty

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here you'll find Cara's answers to some of our most-received questions. If there's anything else you'd like to know please reach out – we'd be delighted to help.
How does using SnoozeShade help my baby and I?
SnoozeShade is like a portable blackout blind for families on the go, allowing you to get out and about while still maintaining your baby’s sleep schedule.
It’s the only baby sunshade of its kind to be endorsed by international baby-sleep experts, be approved by the Melanoma International Foundation, and to have won more than 80 awards.
Cara says: “Until I invented SnoozeShade, the only option for parents was to throw makeshift items like blankets or muslins over the stroller. These aren’t always made of air-permeable fabric, don’t provide sun protection, and may simply fly off at the slightest breeze. You also have to lift them to check on your baby, letting in light that wakes them up.”
• SnoozeShade becomes a ‘sleep trigger’ for babies – like a bedtime routine or closing the drapes in the nursery. Your baby starts to recognize that when SnoozeShade goes on, it’s time to sleep.
• SnoozeShade removes the external distractions that stop your baby getting to sleep. It creates a cozy, comfortable and healthy nap environment – wherever you are.
• Deeper, longer sleep with no interruptions means your baby gets the sleep they need – and we all know that a well-rested, happy baby means everyone in the family has an easier time!
• Many parents also use SnoozeShade to prevent well-meaning people from touching and disturbing their sleeping baby.
SnoozeShade and safety testing
I invented SnoozeShade to use with my own daughter, which means safety has always been my number one priority.
I am proud that SnoozeShade is a ‘function over fashion’ product. I won’t compromise on safety, and I put SnoozeShade through regular and rigorous safety testing – including tests that aren't compulsory.
Why is SnoozeShade black? Doesn't that attract heat?
The colour of a fabric has little to do with how hot it gets, but there are lots of great reasons why our fabric looks the way that it does:
• SnoozeShade is made from air-permeable mesh with lots of small holes that allow fresh air to circulate easily
• SnoozeShade’s fabric has been tested multiple times by well-respected, independent laboratories and scores highly for air permeability
• Black is the best colour for UV protection, as it blocks the most UV rays. This means our fabric doesn't need any chemical treatment.
To find out more about how SnoozeShade’s fabric keeps your baby protected and happy read this piece, which we wrote with the help of one of the UK’s leading thermal physicists to explain the science behind the 'colour and heat' question.
What is breathable fabric?
Our unique fabric is actually better than breathable. It's air-permeable.
The term breathability is often used incorrectly. It's actually a term that refers to how well a fabric wicks moisture away from the skin, which is why it's often used to describe sportswear. Air-permeability is all about how easily air moves through something.
A fabric that's ‘breathable’ is not necessarily air-permeable. For your baby to be safe beneath a sunshade it MUST be made from air-permeable fabric. Avoid cheap copies and buy the safety-tested best.
I'm also proud to say that a new test for suffocation and CO2 rebreathing was developed and our mesh fabric passed both tests with flying colours!
What sun protection does SnoozeShade provide?
The black SnoozeShades in our collection give maximum sun protection, blocking 99% of UVA and UVB rays, with a rating of UPF50+.
The silver Deluxe range blocks up to 97.5% of UVA and UVB, with a rating of UPF40+.
Our fabric is darker than others on the market because SnoozeShade offers the highest level of sun protection and is approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.
While other sunshades claim to offer UPF50+ protection, many have transparent panels. This won’t offer the same level of sun protection, as UV rays can get in. Remember, if you can clearly see your baby through the fabric, so can the sun!
Our fabric is completely unique to us and has been independently scientifically tested, scoring highly for air permeability, which means air flows freely through it and your little one is completely safe underneath it.
Our clever child-safe zippers allow you to check on your baby frequently without letting in too much light or exposing them to the sun.
