What is SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe? This is a double-width stroller shade created in silver-grey fabric with a black trim and the only certified baby-safe snaps in the world. It's been designed for parents with two children of different ages and can be used from birth right up until they outgrow the stroller. Ideal if you have a new baby and an older child in a double stroller!

How does it work? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe can be used in snooze mode or shade mode, both of which provide UV protection. It’s easy to switch between the modes, and you can choose to have both sides the same, or one side in snooze mode and the other in shade mode. So, if one child needs to sleep but the other is wide awake and wanting to see out, it’s no problem!

What’s snooze mode? When it’s time for a nap, convert 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. You can close the entire snooze panel or just close it at one side to allow one child to see out.

When the outer snooze panel is completely closed, SnoozeShade creates a sleep-friendly environment that blurs distractions, shuts out 94% of light, and blocks up to 97.5% of UV rays (UPF 40+). A sleeping-baby emblem deters people from disturbing your children, while the sneak-a-peek zipper lets you check on one of both of them without letting in too much light.

What’s shade mode? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe can be used in shade mode to shield your children from up to 80% of UV rays while still 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.

When either panel is not in use, simply roll up and store in the integrated front pocket to stop them snagging on your wheels.

Will it help my children nap? When in snooze mode, SnoozeShade acts like a portable blackout blind to create a comfortingly dark space that encourages naps by boosting melatonin (the sleepy hormone). When your child 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.

SnoozeShade is recommended by baby-sleep experts worldwide, because when used regularly, it becomes a sleep cue, helping your child learn when it’s naptime in the same way shutting the drapes at home does.

What age is SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe for? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe can be used for two children of different ages, from birth right up until they outgrow their stroller.

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. 

Will it fit my stroller? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe is universally sized to fit all double-width strollers with either two separate hoods or one wide one. If you have a tandem stroller, you will need two single SnoozeShades: Original(0-6m) or Plus (6m+)

How does it attach to my stroller? SnoozeShade Twin Deluxe features elasticated sides, stretchy straps, and baby-safe snaps that make it fast and effortless to fit. Here are our top tips:

1. SnoozeShade Twin 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.
2. Attach the straps to the frame of your stroller or through any gap you find (hood hinges are ideal). The straps are designed to stretch as needed and can also be attached to each other around the back of (or under) the stroller.
3. Pull the hood/s forward at least halfway before attaching the top straps. Your SnoozeShade will then sit lower at the front and will be easier to attach at the bottom.

Do I need to leave it on my stroller all the time? No, SnoozeShade Twin 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 buggy 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 stroller. 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 and are approved by the Melanoma International Foundation. Our fabric is not chemically treated, and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zippers, straps, and snaps.
