Snoozeshade Original Sun Shade - Grey Trim

SnoozeShade Original is where it all began. It's our sun and sleep shade for newborns and young babies lying flat - in a carrycot, pram or bassinet - and it's the product that started everything 16 years ago.

It shields delicate newborn skin from harmful UV rays and offers consistent all-over shade that parasols and hoods simply can't achieve. In a pram, a baby's skin is incredibly sensitive, and UV rays reflect off concrete, sand, water, grass and even snow, so full coverage really matters.

Unlike parasols, which provide patchy shade that constantly needs adjusting, SnoozeShade stays in place and protects from all angles. And unlike blankets, which are considered unsafe to drape over a pram, SnoozeShade is made from our exclusive EziBreez® mesh, which is air-permeable, baby-safe and specially designed for the job.

As a bonus, it also makes naptime on the go far easier - creating a calm, darkened space that helps newborns settle and sleep, wherever you are.

This is the steel grey SnoozeShade Original - a smart, neutral finish that goes with any pram. It's also available in green and pink.

It's universally sized to fit prams, carrycots and bassinets with a hood, including the lie-flat carrycot part of travel systems.

What it does: 

SnoozeShade Original makes life easier when your baby is lying flat in a carrycot, pram or bassinet - whether they're napping or having quiet awake time.

• Shade mode: Use it as a sun canopy over part of the pram to block harmful UV while air still moves freely. The double-layer EziBreez® mesh blocks 99% of UV (UPF 50+), shielding delicate skin and eyes from the sun.
• Full sleep mode: Bring the shade all the way down to create a calm, darkened space that blocks 94% of light and 99% of UV (UPF 50+) - helping your little one settle and sleep wherever you are. In this fully covering mode it also works as a built-in insect and mosquito net.

It rolls up neatly and tucks away when not in use, so you're never left juggling loose fabric.

Whether you're travelling, heading to the shops, or just walking to the park, SnoozeShade Original helps your newborn stay protected and rested - without slowing you down.

What it’s ideal for: 

SnoozeShade Original is designed for babies lying flat - it's about the sleeping position, not a precise age.

It's the right choice when your little one is in:

• A pram or carrycot
• A bassinet or Moses-style lie-flat sleep space on a frame
• The lie-flat carrycot part of a travel system

Once your baby is sitting up in the stroller seat rather than lying flat, the Plus Extra or Plus Deluxe is the better match for that setup.

It's ideal for:

• Everyday walks
• Nursery and school runs with an older sibling
• Family outings and holidays
• Daytime naps on the go

In fact, Cara (the inventor of SnoozeShade) created the Original for her own newborn daughter, and went on to use the range right through to naps on holiday when her daughter was five.
