What are the side windows for? SnoozeShade for Pack and Plays has two single-layer mesh windows with adjustable blackout flaps that allow you to tailor light levels to suit your child. Cover both windows entirely for maximum darkness, or roll up one or both outer flaps and secure them with the baby-safe snaps.

What’s the top panel for? When fully open, the top panel creates a large opening for lifting your child in and out. The two-way zip can be closed completely for sleeping, and partially opened when you want to check in on your sleeping beauty without letting in too much light. If you want to leave the top panel open, simply tuck it into the integrated pocket. 

Is SnoozeShade for Pack and Plays portable? 

Yes! The whole canopy packs down into a stylish and eco-friendly storage bag that fits easily in your luggage. It weighs just 2lbs.

Is it machine-washable? Of course – it was invented by a mom! It can be washed at 30° and tumble-dried on low heat.

Why SnoozeShade for Pack and Plays is safe:

SnoozeShade was invented by British mom Cara Sayer, who needed a safe solution to help her daughter sleep soundly while they were out and about. SnoozeShade Original has since become the world’s favorite sun and sleep shade for strollers, and the range has expanded to include blackout shades for infant carriers and playards.

Our scientifically tested fabric is completely air permeable, which means air passes through it freely. If you were to hold a SnoozeShade up to your face you’d be able to breathe comfortably.

All our products are tested to and exceed required US safety standards. Our fabric is chemical-free and every component is safe enough for a newborn, including our zippers, straps and snaps (the only certified baby-safe snaps in the world).
