What is SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe? It’s a premium version of SnoozeShade Plus, created in silver-grey fabric with a black trim and the only certified baby-safe snaps in the world.
How does it work? SnoozeShade turns your stroller into a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin (the sleepy hormone). When your baby 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. Use it in snooze mode or shade mode – both provide UV protection.
What’s the shade mode? SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe can be used in shade mode to shield your child from up to 80% of UV rays while allowing them to see out. Simply zip up the inner window – a single panel of our unique mesh – to protect from sun, wind, light rain, and insects. The shade panel has two zippers, so you can leave it partially or fully open, or close it completely for maximum protection.
What’s the snooze mode? When it’s time for a stroller nap, convert SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe to snooze mode by zipping up the shade panel and securing the outer snooze panel (an extra layer of mesh) using our baby-safe snaps. This creates a sleep-friendly environment that blurs distractions, shuts out 94% of light, and blocks 97.5% of UV rays (UPF 40+).
A sleeping-baby emblem deters people from disturbing your child, while the sneak-a-peek zipper lets you check on them without letting in too much light.
When the snooze and/or shade panels are not in use, simply roll them up and store them in the integrated front pocket to stop them snagging on your wheels.
Will it help my child nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade acts like a portable blackout blind to create a sleep-friendly space. It’s recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide because when used regularly, it becomes a sleep cue for your child, helping them learn when it’s naptime in the same way shutting the drapes at home does.
What age is it for? We recommend SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe for babies from six months because it’s proportioned to fit around a child who’s sitting up and wanting to see out. If you’re looking for a SnoozeShade for a baby in a carrycot, SnoozeShade Original will be a better fit.
You can continue using SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe as long as your child is in their stroller. Our founder, Cara, still used hers occasionally when her daughter was five!
Is it machine-washable? Of course – it was invented by a mom! All SnoozeShades are machine-washable at 30° and can be tumble-dried on low heat.
What’s the difference between the Plus and Plus Deluxe?
Will it fit my stroller? Yes! SnoozeShades are all universally sized and fit all single-width 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 pushchair you have; simply choose the SnoozeShade that suits the age of your child.
How does it attach to my stroller? It’s so simple! The soft mesh, elasticated sides, stretchy straps, and baby-safe snaps make it effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:
- SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe 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 buggy forward at least halfway before attaching the top straps. Your SnoozeShade will then sit lower at the front and will be easier to connect at the bottom.

Do I need to leave it on my stroller all the time? No, SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe is super lightweight and packs down into a 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 British mom who needed to help her daughter sleep and stay protected from the sun in her pushchair. Unlike a blanket or muslin, our scientifically tested fabric is completely air-permeable, which means air passes through it freely. If you hold a SnoozeShade up to your face, you’ll find you can breathe comfortably.
All our products are tested to (and exceed) US safety standards. Our fabric is not chemically treated, and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zippers, straps and snaps. SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe is approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.
