How does SnoozeShade Plus work? SnoozeShade Plus creates a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin and blurring distractions. 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 Plus can be used in snooze mode or shade mode, both of which provide UV protection.
What is the shade mode? SnoozeShade Plus can be used in shade mode to shield your child from 80% of UV rays while still allowing them to see out through the inner window, which is made from a single panel of our innovative mesh. In this mode, SnoozeShade Plus will also protect from wind, light rain and pesky insects.
Please note the inner window does not open. If you would prefer both front panels to fully open, SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe would be a better option.
What is the snooze mode? When it’s time for a stroller nap, convert your SnoozeShade Plus to snooze mode by zipping up the outer panel (an extra layer of air-permeable mesh). This snooze panel covers the inner window to create 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 means you can discreetly check on your sleeping beauty without letting in too much light.
When the snooze panel is not in use, simply roll it up and secure it with the integrated straps to stop it from snagging on your wheels.
Will SnoozeShade Plus help my child nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade Plus works like a portable blackout blind, creating a sleep-friendly space by blocking out 94% of light and blurring distractions. It’s recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide because when used regularly it acts as a sleep cue, helping your child learn when it’s nap time in the same way shutting the curtains in their nursery does.
What age is it for? We recommend SnoozeShade Plus for babies from six months because it’s proportioned to fit strollers and strollers when your little one is sitting up and wants to see out. If you’re looking for a SnoozeShade for a smaller baby in a carrycot, you’ll find SnoozeShade Original is a better fit.
You can continue using SnoozeShade Plus as long as your child is in their stroller. Our founder, Cara, still used hers occasionally when her daughter was five!
Is SnoozeShade Plus machine washable? Of course – it was invented by a mum! All SnoozeShades are machine washable at 30° and can be tumble dried on low heat.
Will it fit my stroller? Yes! SnoozeShades are all universally sized and fit all single-width buggies and strollers 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 and whether it will fit. Simply choose the SnoozeShade that suits the age of your child.
How does SnoozeShade Plus attach to my stroller? SnoozeShade Plus attaches to absolutely any stroller in seconds. The soft mesh, elasticated sides and stretchy straps make it effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:
- SnoozeShade Plus 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Do I need to leave it on my stroller all the time? No, SnoozeShade Plus 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.
Why SnoozeShade is safe to use: SnoozeShade was invented by Cara Sayer – a safety-obsessed mum who wanted a solution to help her daughter sleep soundly and stay protected from the sun in her stroller.
Unlike a blanket or muslin, our scientifically tested fabric is completely 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 designed to exceed worldwide safety 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 zips and straps.
Was a bit worried it wouldn’t fit the prams when I purchased, we have a winter summer and stroller, it fits all three. Had trouble getting Bub to sleep, now once she has the dark cover, falls straight to sleep, also a bonus no sun and insects can get her. Just love it.
Fits my Baby Jogger Pram like a glove. We only recently transitioned him out of his bassinet into forward facing and was panicking about how he'd take his naps on the go. The snoozeshade offers complete darkness so he can have his nap on the go. It also offers warmth and protection from the frosty morning walks we've been having! I was sceptical when first purchasing, wasn't sure if it would fit or if it was practical but so far I'm absolutely thrilled with the purchase. It's been an absolute game changer.
Great product
This and the younger snoozeshade are essential pieces of kit. Recommend
Needed something to protect baby from strong Australian sun. This does the trip but found baby can get quite sweaty when fully covered up.
