Colour

The SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe is only available in charcoal with a black trim.

The idea of using a car seat as part of a travel system has become more and more popular over recent years, however something that manufacturers haven't introduced is an extendable canopy for the car seats to keep out things like sunlight and wind.

This is where the SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe comes in to play.  

The SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe is the newest sunshade and baby sleep aid to hit the market since the second version of the SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats came out.

Suitable for all group 0 and group 0+ car seats with rigid handles, it has been designed to help your little one sleep while you are out and about getting on with day to day task around town.

SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe - Material

The same as the original, it is made out of a double layer of soft and breathable  fabric.

The material protects from sunlight and it also protects your baby from harmful UV rays, blocking over 97.5% of harmful UVA and UVB (UPF40+) as well as protecting your baby from elements such as wind and light rain.

This clever shade can also be used when you are on holiday as it also protects from insects.

The difference in the material compared to the original is that the Deluxe version comes in a luxurious grey colour instead of black and has a dark inner layer.

I love the colouring, it has a certain shine to it which gives it a more classy feel.

It has black edging and the straps which popper closed are of the same colour.

The straps are actually the only ones of their kind which are safety certified to be used with babies and small children, this should give parents great peace of mind.

The shade is small, lightweight and wonderfully stretchy, it is an accessory which will easily fold down and slot into any pocket in your changing bag, no complicated folding methods to make it compact.

SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe - The Fit

There are three easy ways to fit this product: 

• Sleep mode: this is where the SnoozeShade is completely closed.  Blocking out 97% of UV and blurs out any outside distractions which helps to get your baby to sleep.

• Open mode: this still provides side protection but it allows parent and child to see each other.

• Lookout mode: this is where your baby is protected from the mesh window, this mode blocks around 80% of UV rays.   

I found this Deluxe version was even easier to fit than the original version and even that wasn’t complicated.

Simply placing the SnoozeShade underneath the car seats handle and then stretching over the top of the canopy and the rest of the seat. The poppers then clip on to the car seats handle, giving that reassuring click as they pop close, letting you know that they are fully secured.

With the front panel and mesh window on the front, there is no need to be taking the SnoozeShade on and off and both can be rolled down and hidden in a pocket at the front when not in use.

SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe - Features

The SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe has more to offer than first meets the eye.

• The sneak a peek zip: This is a feature that was on the original SnoozeShade however instead of going vertically down the front, it is now placed horizontally just above the window. I found this a better position as it gave a better view inside of the car seat.

• Pocket for storing panels: I mentioned this above, when the front panel and mesh window aren't needed, they can be rolled down and poppered away neatly into this pocket, this means they won't be left flapping about if it happens to be windy out!! 

• Sleeping baby emblem: This can be found on the front panel and tells passers by that your baby is having a snooze and we know what that means, they don't want to be disturbed!! 

These features allow your baby to switch off and relax with minimal disturbance.

SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe - Conclusion 

The SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe really is the new and improved version of the original. It is still just as compact and simple to use but with its added features, it is now even easier to keep your little one in a routine when going out and about and getting on with your daily tasks.

The panel at the front even gets rid of the problem I had with the original SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats, which was the limited visibility upon your little one waking up from a nap.

I have nothing really negative to say, just the same observation as with their other deluxe products that the poppers for doing up the straps may not be to everyones taste as many prefer velcro.

We give the SnoozeShade for Infant Car Seats Deluxe 5 out of 5 stars
