Family Style
Summer Must-Have or a Waste of Money?
We’re rapidly approaching stroller season, when the warm weather beckons parents to use baby strollers as a primary source of transportation. We go out to family picnics, stroll in the park, meet friends for lunch at the local outside bistro — and yes, some of this inevitably occurs during nap time.
Rather than draping a blanket or jacket over the baby’s stroller to block out the sun and encourage shut-eye, these UPF 50 SnoozeShades block out 94 percent of light to create a cozy, dark environment. And new this month, SnoozeShade now makes a version for car seats!

Our first thought was that the shade — which has a zipper closure and velcro attachments — would serve as a pressure cooker for the child inside, even possibly being a SIDS risk. But SnoozeShade assures customers that the breathable polyester fabric doesn’t retain heat and allows for ventilation and air-flow. Plus, both the stroller SnoozeShade and the new car seat SnoozeShade fit on any brand and model.
What do you think? Is this a must-have that would make your family travel easier this summer? Or would you rather stick to draping a blanket over the stroller?
The car seat SnoozeShade isn’t available in the States yet, but you can buy the stroller shade through Amazon for $34.99. Read more about the UK-based SnoozeShade.

JenS commented on Jul 30 11 at 4:57 pmHello! I live in Scotland and have had a snoozeshade since my little one was 6 month old and it’s been the best baby product I’ve ever bought! With the blanket the wind whips it away, It’s always falling off and it doesn’t make it dark enough!
The snoozeshade was a life saver when baby started being nosy, I could pop it on at naptime and she’d happily go of to sleep as she wasn’t watching everything around her! When she was asleep, it helped block out the noise of a busy environment and she’d have her full nap.
She’s 2 now and I still use it all the time – in shopping centres, cafes, parks etc – my only regret is I wish I’d known about the ‘plus’ version months ago – she’s getting too big for the buggy now!
A brilliant idea, I’m their biggest fan!
