Impressive. Nicely packed and easy to carry around. Really good and great thing to have around whether to protect child from sun or just keep him cool under shade during warm days. I will be using it most when abroad in the next few weeks. I think would be best to test it in a really hot country. Instructions easy to understand. Very clear explanation of how to use it. As simple as can be to use.  I used it on cossatto koochi and will be using it abroad on different pushchair. This was a perfect fit for our koochi.  Once fitted fully secure. Was used mostly during the heatwave last week and was really helpful. My little one was nice and cool below the shade.  This is great at keeping sun out of baby’s eyes and delivers UV protection.  We absolutely love this product.  I wouldn’t know how it works during winter but for now in this hot weather is excellent. It does what it says and my baby was well protected from sun. This is definitely something I’m taking with me abroad to Croatia next week. Loved the ‘Sneak-a-Peek’ a very smart detail.  You can tell that somebody really thought through it before making this product. Not found any other uses yet, still need to experiment with it.  We have used this throughout the hot weather.  Fabulous quality and great value for money. I love that item can be used on different type of buggies. No problem keeping clean.  It also good that is in one dark colour so it easy to take care of it. Great product overall. Absolutely amazing value and would be even more appreciated in warmer countries. I would buy this as I never heard about it and wish that it was there 5 years ago when I had my boy.  I would definitely recommend as it is something that is really handy for all new parents.  This product is one of my fave’s of all times when it comes to travelling around with baby. You never know what the weather is going to be like and this makes things easy. It’s small great packaging easy to carry around and doesn’t take much of space in the suitcase. Snoozeshade is a great product in many ways. Protects your child from sun, heat, with little zip making it easy to open to check on your child without need of removing the product completely from the buggy. It’s perfect also that it can fit on most buggies and that makes it easy for everyone especially if you have few different ones to use. For all of these reasons I would rate the product 5 out of 5. The best thing I have ever owned. Josipa Setka – Maya 3 Months

I liked the look of the snooze shade very modern yet simple. I love the concept of this snooze shade as I had previously used the parasol supplied with my travel system and also a clip on shade but neither are that great for giving good coverage and sun protection. Very easy instructions to follow. The snooze shade was easy to fit however it wasn’t a great fit for my carrycot part of my travel system therefore wasn’t very easy to use. I have the mama’s & papa’s urbo 2 travel system and currently use the carry cot part for my 7 week old son. The snooze shade does not fit well at all and once in place the zip access sits on the hood so not able to open to view baby. It also seems to then be a big fit where it attaches to the handle and therefore also unable to see baby without moving the material. I feel it fit the chassis part of my travel system better however still a little bit of a big fit at the bottom part. Once fitted it was secure just not the right fit for my travel system carry cot. despite the fit it did give good protection from the sun and allowed the air to circulate and it kept it just dark enough for my son to sleep in his carry cot, which was great not having the worry of the sun being on him. It gave adequate coverage from the sun. I love the concept of the snoozeshade and is a great accessory to have with your buggy/pram. My parasol that came with my travel system is awful and doesn’t sit right on the frame which then doesn’t give very good protection from the sun. And the clip on shade I have given better protection than the parasol but you have to keep moving it depending on direction change when walking. The snoozeshade took all that worry away. The snooze shade gave good sun protection whilst keeping the inside of the carry cot cool. This would be perfect for holidays as it can fold away into its compact bag. I was unable to use the ‘Sneak & Peak’ feature due to the fit of the snooze shade on my carry cot. But I feel if the fit was correct it is a great feature as it is a quick and easy way to check on baby without having to disturb them or let the sun on them. We used the snooze shade 2 or 3 times to ensure we could give a good review but due to the fit of it we have gone back to using the clip on shade. The quality of this item was very good, nice material and design and definitely feels it is worth the retail price. I really liked the concept of it and how it takes the worry away of the sun shining on baby’s face, how it gives UV protection for their sensitive skin and eyes, whilst keeping them cool in the sun. We used the carry bag provided when not in use which helped to keep clean and the cleaning instructions were very easy to follow if needed. Very good quality, material didn’t feel cheap at all and definitely worth the retail price. I feel it’s is very good quality and worth the retail price. I like the concept of the item and how it gives such good protection from the sun. I would not purchase because it doesn’t fit my carry cot as it is designed to, however should the company develop specific fitting snoozeshades I would definitely buy one. I would recommend due to the level of sun protection and peace of mind however I would let them know they would need to check the fit of the product.  A brilliant concept and design however not full marks due to my experience and the snoozeshade not fitting my carrycot properly. A great product which I feel a lot of people will love however I would disagree to it being a universal fit which lets the product down a little. I love the product but I won’t be using it due to bad fitting however I wouldn’t hesitate should the company produce one that fits specific prams. Nikola Caswell – Elliot 7 Weeks

Joanne Awarded The Snoozeshade 4.7/5

Initial impressions were good. Packaging was practical but not the most pleasing to the eye.  Snoozeshade was a good concept. Allowed baby to sleep while shaded from the sun. Clear instructions on how to use the product. This was very easy to use and fits any buggy. This was a good fit for pour Uppababy Vista.  Once fitted it was very secure.  I used this while walking on a very sunny day allowing baby to sleep comfortably and not worrying about her getting burnt. Using this was also ideal to keep the sun out of eyes and allowed my baby to sleep while shaded.  It reduced the need for umbrellas etc. however I felt it did block any view for the baby who likes to look around. I felt very confident this was delivering good sun protection when I was out and about with baby. This would be very useful while on holidays. The ‘Sneak-a-peek’ is a very good feature meaning you do not have to remove the entire shade.  We just used this for its intended purpose.  We only used this on sunny days.  The quality of this is very good.  I really liked the fact this shaded baby from the sun while sleeping. Very easy to keep clean and dark colour did not show up dirt easily. Approximately same price as a parasol so quite good value for money. I also like the fact it was a sun shade and delivered good UV protection.  Personally I would not buy this as my baby likes to look around and this shade provided no option for that.  Would be ideal for a newborn.  I would recommend for parents with younger baby. Good product, good sun shade and UV protection, easy to use. Not suitable for my child while awake as she likes to look around. Joanne Maguire – Aoifi 6 Months
