This is such a good product – way better than using a sun parasol I found! We loved this over the bassinet & the car seat for when out and about in the sun! Kept baby cool and out of direct sunlight. We really loved the zip so you can check on him too! Will be buying the next stage up one!!
Bought this product to help when out with my baby sleeping. Fits well over the pram, but has a zip pocket on the top & you can leave gaps at the sides for air to move. Helps my little one sleep a lot better when not at home.
Got this after having no luck with parasols (they either wouldn’t attach properly or wouldn’t position right)
Absolutely amazing sunshade, and we can use it on multiple travel systems (carrycot, car seat and normal pram)
Love the zip window to check on baby. Not sure how breathable it is so I would recommend not making sure baby has some sort of air flow (as seen in pics)
All in all does a much better job than an umbrella at making sure baby is covered from the su
I used this on my iCandy Peach with bassinet, and my Ergobaby Metro+ deluxe travel stroller. It works perfectly on both and baby girl will often fall asleep when out for a walk!
So happy with this, works one mamas and papas pram and I’ve managed to get it to work with the car seat attached to pram too
Good quality for the price and definitely protects from the sun! So no worrying about trying to keep the shade off if baby
I have used this with our Bugaboo Chameleon 3 and Babyzen Yo-yo Newborn, works with both. It doesn’t fit perfectly (some loose material at the sides), but that is the nature of a universal product. Provides complete shade while baby is napping. Zip opening is perfect for checking on baby. Handy pouch for storing in our changing bag, it goes everywhere with us.
My baby hates the sun in her eyes and our parasol was a pain, having to readjust every time we turned a corner when the sun would be in a different place and so our walks would take forever. I saw this advertised and decided to give it a go. Initially I really struggled to attach it to my pram, the Mamas and Papas Occarro. I messaged the company on Facebook and they helped me attach it properly (attached photos) and now it’s great. My baby slept the entire walk, stayed cool and I could open the zip to check she was okay. Highly recommend for the summe
This does exactly what I needed to do,
Keep the sun out of my baby’s face so not battling with a parasol but also makes it nice and dark for when he needs a nap. Only concern is it can get a little warm on a super hot day, but nothing too concerning. The Velcro straps are super handy to keep it in place. Probably my most used baby item so great value for money.
I bought this one for my daughter 12 years ago…she slept for hours and still is a good sleeper! And from then on- whoever had a baby got this for me as a present. One girl used it during the COVID when they were traveling.The best thing I ever bought! Highly recommended.
10/10 couldn’t recommend enough!! Quick & easy to fit, great zip panel to check on bub! Our little boy has slept so well on his naps despite 20 sunny weather as this product kept his pram dark & cool (he wasn’t coping longer than 20 minutes before). Gave us peace of mind enjoying a 6km walk knowing he was safe from the sun & comfortable in the cool! From an outdoorsy family – Thank you!!
We’ve even bought a 2nd to gift for his baby cousin arriving in 4 weeks!
It is great at keeping the sun out and really helps keep her calm when out and about. She is able to nap without being disturbed by light and guilty as charged has saved us having to tell people to politely go away, as she’s nicely concealed from people who can be a bit too friendly.
The 6 velcro straps have made it so universally friendly and we have had no issues with securing it to either her car seat or Bassinet depending on what we use on her pram base (it’s a travel system style pram).
Would absolutely recommend to anyone, especially a nervous parent who wants to protect baby from the sun, help them sleep whilst still being able to live life or just avoid having people you don’t know all up in your space or your child’s space.
Bought due to my son suffering with “sun eruptions” on his face even when in the shade in hot weather. Since using it his face hasn’t gone red so this product has helped massively.
This is a lovely product, which is finished off lovely and the quality is good.
When first using the product it is a little confusing as there is no actual instructions which comes with the product. There is however a QR code which takes you to a website which does have different videos to help with how to attach/use the product. This is good in reducing the paper being sent – however when the QR code is ripped like mine was it’s hard to access the videos.
Once I found the website via google I was able to see the videos and use the shade to its full potential and you only really need to watch the video once – it is pretty straight forward.
The shade provided protection for my little one but also a cool place for them to sleep.
Such a clever idea. Love the zip so I can check how baby is doing. Better than the parasol sun shades. Only thing I don’t like is the cover goes over the handle bar so it makes it difficult to hold it. Would be good if there was some sort of gap for your hands.
Brought for when we went to the seaside towns, perfect for blocking out sun and the breeze keeping our baby warm and protected. We also used for nap times as well to keep it nice and dark for them. Perfect all around!
In terms of storage, you are given a bag but like most people, gets crumpled up and chucked either underneath our buggy or just in storage.
I’d been looking for something easy to use to keep the sun off by baby and this is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and does what it says
A life saver when you have a newborn in the summer! It keeps them out the sun, and cool on summer days. It’s completely breathable and so versatile for different seats/carrycot. Highly recommend
The product arrived promptly and is a good quality sunshade for protecting our little one from the sun whilst out on a walk and for providing less distractions for naps in the pram. We have a Mamas and Papas Ocarro pram and we used this when on holiday abroad. We attached the velco straps to the pram handle to either the cup holder knob or adjustable handle levers. I also use the velcro straps on the sides to provide side protection from the sun. We attached the back of the sunshade by stretching it over the hood of the pram. She could still get a good view on our walks. It works well when the pram is in different positions. It provided good shade for most of her legs but her toes sometimes were still exposed to the sun as the sunshade dips in the middle near the pram handles. I would have liked a velcro strap in the middle so that I could stretch the sunshade to the middle of the pram handle as well which would have provided more fuller protection. To ensure it covers the pram for naps we pulled two velcro straps and fastened under foot rest. In this position, the zip can therefore be used to check on her for naps. But to be honest, we don’t often use that position as I can’t see her as easily and would worry about the lack of air flow and her overheating.
My baby was born in May, just at the start of a heat wave. Without this product I wouldn’t have been able to take her out in the pram at all. It’s an absolute essential from a sun protection and shade perspective. It also blocks glare to protect her eyes. When down in the lower position it acts as a blackout shade so I use it for her daytime nap in the pram. Also it helps keep flies etc off her. Finally I use it as a cover when she’s not in the pram to stop the cats jumping into her pram (and putting cat hair in there!) . My only modification suggestion is that the peep zipper would be better if itnwas 2 way so that you could chose (depending on where the sun was shinning) where you want the opening to be. Finally I’ll say that from now on it will be my go-to new baby present for friends. It really is an indispensable tool that deserves the accolades.
Love this product. It is exactly as described and I have used it every day on our walks. It is great for both sunny or windy days and also perfect for when they are asleep. There is a zip so that you can keep an eye on your baby. It is very easy to use and comes with a little bag to store it in. Would definitely recommend it.
It’s a bit confusing at first, as lots of straps to attach to prams and pushchairs. Keeps the sun off the baby really well. Plus you have a zip at the top so you can check they are okay. Added bonus, it’s shade makes the pram dark so baby can sleep peacefully.
I’ve got a baby who is extremely against the concept of napping (to the point she gets angry when she works out you’re trying to get her to nap). She can be falling asleep, even spend a couple of minutes with her eyes shut, and then jerk herself awake to look at something. She’s obsessed with light and looking at *everything* … all of which add up to overstimulation, overtiredness, and a miserable cycle of trying to get her to relax and get enough sleep.
This cover has worked wonderfully – when she’s closing her eyes in the pushchair, I quickly lift it up over the canopy, and by the miracle of the Snooze Shade, her closed eyes actually turn into a nap! It’s amazing (well, it is if you know how hard it is to persuade this particular baby to nap). It also seems to keep the air cooler inside the cover than outside.
The only problem for me is that now I have to keep walking and walking and walking while she naps, but that’s not a reflection on this great little product, just on an awkward baby! Don’t think twice, if you’ve got a reluctant napper, just get one of these.
(Using with Uppababy Cruz and it’s a good fit.)
Unfortunately, I lost the first SnoozeShade I bought (the one with the grey trim), so I had to repurchase it again. The second time I bought the one with the green trim as it was on discount for 13.50. But to be quite honest, I think it’s a bit annoying that the “nice” looking grey one is more expensive and hence why I am not giving this sunshade 5 stars. I am really not a fan of the lime green (kind of makes your pram look ugly) but I couldn’t justify paying that much again for the one with the grey trim. Also a tip: when you put your SnoozeShade in the storage bag it comes with, do NOT hang it on your pram as this is how I lost my first one. The velcro (a bit unnecessary in my opinion) on the strap of the bag must’ve just come undone and it fell off my pram hooks without me noticing.
Now as to the actual sunshade, here are my pros and cons:
PROS
— I think it works great and is really useful –no fiddling around with parasols or muslin blankets when you change your direction of walking
— It is quite versatile and easy to put on the pram with the six velcro straps and the elastic and I think it really would fit all prams
— Does what it says and protects baby from the sun and I never felt like my baby was overheating
— The zip opening is helpful to check on baby
— I think it’s excellent to use as a blackout shade too and it’s definitely helped my baby fall asleep in brightly lit places like the shopping centre
CONS
— The lime green trim is pretty ugly (the grey, however, looks nice)
— It’s made in China (I somehow expected this to be made in Britain as the founder is British as well)
— I do think that once my baby is a bit older and more curious about her surroundings she might actually not like having the black in front of her all the time, so I might not use it as much anymore (I did consider getting the Plus model instead but think it’s quite pricey for what it is and it doesn’t look like baby could see through the mesh that much better anyway)
All in all, I would recommend this sunshade –especially for very young babies. Time will tell if I still use it a lot when my baby is older but for her first British summer, it’s been very good to have.
