Safety advice

SnoozeShade was invented by a British mum, Cara Sayer, who needed a solution to help her baby daughter sleep soundly in her pram. Our scientifically tested fabric is free from chemicals and completely air permeable (which means air passes through it freely), and all our products are designed to exceed worldwide safety standards. Every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zips and straps.

The following information will help ensure you use your SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats safely. Please read it carefully:

  1. Whether you’re using SnoozeShade indoors or outdoors, please check regularly that your baby is well hydrated and comfortable. Our sneak-a-peek zip allows you to quickly check on your little one without disturbing their nap.
  2. Children should not be left unattended in a car seat at any time and should always wear a correctly fitted harness where appropriate.
  3. When stationary, even indoors, turn the front of your infant car seat away from direct sun. Always seek shade wherever possible.
  4. UV rays (including reflected UV rays) will enter the car seat through any open area not covered by SnoozeShade. UV rays are reflected by water, concrete, snow, sand and other surfaces.
  5. Doctors worldwide state that babies under six months must be kept completely out of direct sunlight.
  6. General sun-safety guidance from around the world suggests keeping a child of any age out of direct sun between 11am and 4pm.
  7. Check local advice on keeping babies and small children safe in the sun and hot conditions. Advice may vary in different countries.
  8. SnoozeShade, like any shade product, should always be used with other recommended forms of sun protection such as sun lotion, hats, sunglasses and protective clothing.
  9. It’s not advisable to use SnoozeShade in strong winds or heavy rain.
  10. This product cannot replace responsible adult supervision to prevent sunburn, overheating or dehydration.
