Love the snoozeshade. Easy to use and gives that protections and shade needed for the baby. Doesn’t take up a lot of space so good to take anywhere on the go. Good quality and value for the money. Would definitely recommend.
Does exa try what it is meant to do. Gives great amounts of shade, stress well underneath the push chair when not in use and is very very easy to mount over the chair. My son can get some much needed sleep when out on a hectic summer day trip. Great for the price!
I bought the plus extra for my travel pram but have also been using it on my main pram (egg3) because the hood doesn’t cover her feet in the carrycot. Even this one is not meant to the carrycot it works perfectly on it and there is a big enough gap to let lots of air in and circulate like the original would.
Best thing I could have bought for our recent holiday abroad. Would 100% recommend. Very light weight, easy to pack. Doesn’t take up much room when travelling. The mesh allowed for air to pass through the pram comfortably keeping our baby cool and out of the direct sunlight. Very comfortable to allow our baby to sleep with this over his pram. Allowed for nap times without the worry of him being exposed to sun. Very good value for money.
I was sceptical about paying this amount of money but I would have paid double! It was worth every single penny. My 4 month old slept so well in her buggy with this on. It was dark and cool and easy to use
I wish I’d bought one sooner – I’ve bought it for my 13 month old who hasn’t napped in his pram for a very long time. He now naps happily thanks to this!! Even if he isn’t napping, I put it on and open the window so he can see out but is still shaded. It really is brilliant.
This was amazing on our recent holiday to Turkey, it kept our 9mo in the shade, was breathable and comfortable for him, in the evening when we went out the blackout meant he could nap in peace. It helped keep out mosquitos too.
With baby no. 2 I find he’s having to fit sleeps in around my daughters nursery school hours etc and so I’m often having to transport him once he’s asleep. The shade really helps him to stay asleep and undisturbed.
I will never take my daughter out in sunny weather without this!! This has become an absolute staple in our family. It’s super easy to use just a couple of Velcro straps up each side of the pram but still manages to stay really secure. The first layer is perfect for sun protection through the day whilst my daughter was happy because she could also see where we were going and as soon as she dozed off the second layer helped keep her asleep by creating a total blackout blind effect in the pushchair. I had been worried that it may get stuffy and warm inside the pram but we made constant checks and found the temperature consistently cool similar to sitting in the shade with a good amount of ventilation. We had an added bonus whilst on a windy holiday of it keeping all the blowing sand from blasting our little one. The pram still folds easily with the shade on and the zip down layers made it easy to take our daughter in and out of the pram without having to take everything off. The shade also came with a handy carry bag, which it folds down into easily and prevents the shade from going missing or getting pulled off whilst going into the luggage hold.
This has made such a big difference to my wife’s day as she can now go out and about without planning her whole day around nap times!
The difference between the Plus and the Deluxe is that the Deluxe has a full zip for the inner layer whereas with the Plus you would have to remove the SnoozeShade to get your baby out. It’s a minor difference but one that adds to the convenience of using it as you can install it and then pretty much forget about removing it unless you change buggy.
We found it works better with our travel buggy than our main stroller as travel buggies tend to be forward facing and have one continuous frame, which can easily be clipped onto with the fasteners. Our main stroller (which is more bulky) does not have one long section of framework to clip onto – for us it means we use 2 clips each side, whereas on the travel buggy we can use 4 on each side.
Knocking 1 star off for build quality as some of the stitching had lose thread, which for a product that costs 40 I wouldn’t expect.
EDIT – On the card which I’d misplaced initially, it said no matter where you bought it from, get in touch with the company directly. To be honest, the stain to me seemed like a return to Amazon that hadn’t been checked as it’s happened before. What AMAZING customer service Snoozeshade has directly! They were so understanding, responsive and solved the issue straight away. Not came across a company with this level of customer service before ever I don’t think! We’ve used the product a few times now. My little one (13.5 months, 12 months corrected and still a tiny dot) hates sun in his eyes but will not leave a cap or sunglasses in at all . This provides amazing shade from all sides while allowing him to see out. Additionally, he never sleeps anywhere. I have an odd one who doesn’t sleep in cars or pushchairs either very well at all . In a pushchair, he is way too nosey. However, as he’s drifting off we can shut it and he actually managed 40mins in the pushchair on a long walk the other day! Really recommend.
Love the idea, absolutely love the product and would definitely recommend it. However, just feel a little bit robbed when you’ve spent 39 on something for it to have a stain on when you open it and use it for the first time. It doesn’t effect the use at all, but just a bit of a disappointment opening something new to find a stain already on. It sends my imagination into overdrive over what it could be. Would still recommend to others and things but just a shame about the new product coming already stained.
So far I am impressed and glad we got it. By putting it over the hood and handle bars it blocks the sun from whatever the direction, so not need to fiddle with a Parasol, so you feel much more relaxed that baby is protected. The way we have attached it also means there are bigger air holes, as my biggest fear/hesitation was the heat building up inside; it also mean we could peak in to check on her without moving anything.
Being a geek, I took a room thermostat out (apparently not as accurate outside) to test the heat inside the pram. In full sun on a hot UK day, outside it registered 27.5 and inside registered as 27.3. So not much different, but not hotter, which reassured me. Giving her air holes (rather than securing and wrapping around the hole pram) reassured us anyway and obviously whilst moving, you are naturally creating more air flow. Also, because we hook it on the handle bar, when we were in shade it was easy just to fold the cover back over the hood.
Also provided a good blackout effect when baby was sleeping. Easy to put on and off and folds down very small to stuff in a bag. Very lightweight.
Would definitely recommend and really like it’s versatility.
Only 4 star as it’s not the most glamours looking thing (not that this matters over baby safety) and it is weird not being able to see baby when it’s on (although I appreciate that it is difficult to change without compromising sun protection).
