Snoozeshade Plus Extra UV Pushchair Shade SSPE

SnoozeShade Plus Extra is the new version of our popular Plus. It's designed for once your little one is sitting in the stroller seat. At nearly 3 times the size of an Original, it safely shades longer toddler legs and boasts additional functionality suited to children who want to see out when awake. SnoozeShade Plus Extra safely protects your child from up to 99% of UV rays and helps keep their nap routine on track while you’re out and about. If your little one doesn’t like sunglasses it’s the perfect choice as the front panel window blocks 80% of UV and lets baby see out. The front can be fully or partially open or closed and gives maximum flexibility. This award-winning sun and sleep shade fits quickly and easily to absolutely any single-width pushchair or stroller with a hood and lets air flow freely, thanks to our air-permeable mesh fabric. It will last until your little one has outgrown the stroller completely.

How does SnoozeShade Plus Extra work? SnoozeShade creates 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 is the shade mode? SnoozeShade Plus Extra 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 zips, so you can leave it partially or fully open or close it completely for maximum protection.

What is the snooze mode? When it’s time for a buggy nap, convert SnoozeShade Plus Extra to snooze mode by zipping up the shade panel and securing the outer snooze panel (an extra layer of mesh) using our baby-safe poppers. This creates 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 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 SnoozeShade Plus Extra 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 curtains at home does.

What age is it for? We recommend SnoozeShade Plus Extra for babies and toddlers who are seated in the stroller seat, because it’s proportioned to fit around a child who is sitting up and wanting to see out. We say from around 6-9 months but it's just a guide - the most important thing is baby's seating position. If you’re looking for a SnoozeShade for a baby who's in a carrycot, SnoozeShade Original will be a better fit. You can continue using your SnoozeShade Plus Extra as long as your child is in their pushchair.

Is it machine washable? Of course – it was invented by a mum! All SnoozeShade products are machine washable at 30° and can be tumble dried on a low hea
