- SnoozeShade was invented by a mom just like you!
British mom Cara Sayer became frustrated with throwing a blanket over her daughter's stroller and couldn't find anything that helped her little one sleep when they were out. In 2010, she invented SnoozeShade Original for her baby's stroller and this grew into a range of products for the infant car seat, stroller and a version for pack n plays. This is the one product Cara wished she'd invented earlier as her little girl used to wake up super early whenever they stayed with friends who had never heard of drapes.
- Help your baby sleep in the pack'n'play
SnoozeShade for Pack n Plays is like a sleep tent for your baby's bed and is ideal for when you have to share a room with baby. Use it day or night, it's perfect for trips away from home, camping, vacation or during bright summer months (many Alaskan parents have found it particularly useful!). You can adjust darkness levels to suit your baby by using the panels on each side that can be raised or lowered or opening or closing the zippable top flap which can be stored in the integrated pocket). An added bonus is that it also gives protection from mosquitos and cats.
- Lightweight and takes seconds to install
SnoozeShade for Pack 'n' Plays is so easy to use. There are no complicated attachments or poles to connect. Simply throw it over the top of the playard, pull down around the sides and attach the bottom Velcro stretchable straps securely around the playard’s feet. It weighs just 2lbs and easily fits in a carry on bag.
Many parents ask if it's completely blackout and the answer is no. It would not be possible for the fabric to be air-permeable and block all light - but it does . block 94% of light. The main reason why babies who usually need complete blackout can sleep with a SnoozeShade on - it's because the fabric blurs all visual stimuli to such an extent that babies are bored back to sleep. It also makes it dark enough for the production of melatonin to occur which is nature's signal that it's time to snooze.
If you plan to use SnoozeShade away from home, we suggest that (if you can) you use it practice with it at home first. Most babies are fine but you may find your little one adapts easier to it if used at home before a trip rather than if used for the first time in a strange environment.
