Kathryn Bell 'Living With' the SnoozeShade Infant Car Seat
Heyloo! I am Kathryn, I am 23 years old and a single Mum to Anthony (nearly 13 months). I live in Oxfordshire in a beautiful small village with my family. I will be returning to work in September as a teaching assistant in a local primary school. Anthony and I try to get out as much as we can, we enjoy attending local groups, going on countryside walks and to the park, nipping in and out of town and enjoy going for a lovely swim at the local pool. We also enjoy trips further afield, Anthony has visited many places in the UK and we are both excited to be going on his first holiday abroad very soon so we are excited to have this opportunity to test the Snoozeshade!

First Impressions
I received my Infant Carrier Snoozeshade in the post today!!! Exciting! I had an idea of what to expect as I use the SnoozeShade for pushchairs already! This product did not let me down. It is a smaller version of the one that I already own, perfect size for an infant carrier. It comes in a plastic pouch to protect it from any damage in transit and in store. The actual shade comes in a netting bag with a drawstring which is great to store it in and hang off a pushchair handle or off a buggy clip, when it isn't being used (I found it really easy to stuff the shade in after I had opened it to have a look). It is edged in neon yellow so when using it at night it can be seen easily by passers by! I cannot wait to try this out :)

Hello from Gibraltar!!! We have spent the last 2 days at sea and have finally come into dock!!! I couldn't wait to try out the SnoozeShade on my Cabriofix car seat.

Hello from sunny Cadiz! I have used the Snoozeshade on a couple of coachtrips to Florence and Rome!!! Again, Anthony was able to take his usual naps and I had the peace of mind that he had the sun protection that it provides! It also kept him cooler in the carseat. One downside is the small viewing window... Although Anthony is fairly good at letting me know he is awake!!!

Hello! We are now back in the UK! We took the Snoozeshade out into town for the first time on a shopping trip on Sunday. My boyfriend who had never seen the Snoozeshade for infant carrier was able to fit it quickly and easily when Anthony needed his nap. Again, Anthony slept well under the Snoozeshade even with all the bright lights and noise around.
One thing I forgot to mention about the Snoozeshade is that it fits in the storage compartment of my Maxi Cosi Cabriofix Infant Carrier so takes up no extra space on the pushchair or in the shopping basket!!
This week has flown by! I started a new job and Anthony started nursery!

Hey... We have had a busy week... Anthony has been poorly this week so we didn't go out much. We did go to Birmingham at the weekend and we visited the Sealife Centre and Merry Hill Shopping Centre! I encountered a problem with the Snoozeshade on Saturday, I wanted to put it on the carseat for the long journey as Anthony was really tired and the sun was very bright. I couldn't fit it very easily as Anthony kept on kicking it off, also couldn't fit it before because I do not have the Isofix base in my car. I would imagine it would have stayed on ok if Anthony was a little bit younger and less wriggly.

Took the snoozeshade to Center Parcs. It came in handy on the Sunday night as we stayed in a Premier Inn before we started our break. We popped the Snoozeshade on the carseat while we had our meal and Anthony slept all the way through!!!! Thanks Snoozeshade
Hello!!! We have been on our travels again!!!Took the snoozeshade on the train to London (45 minute journey) so Anthony could have a sleep! Now he is getting quite big, we had a bit of a fight to get the snoozeshade on initially. Once it was on, he settled very quickly and was asleep in about 5 minutes!!! He slept the remainder of the journey .
Took the Snoozeshade into town again. I was walking around a shop whilst Anthony was napping (under the Snoozeshade ) when another approached me asking me about the Snoozeshade as she thought it was a great idea as her little one never wanted to sleep in the infant carrier as she needed the soothingness of it being dark. Had a quick chat about the product and she said she was going to order one online that evening!!! I wonder if it was the eye catching luminous yellow edging that caught her eye!!

All in all the Snoozeshade fir Infant carrier has been an extremely useful accessory for mine and Anyhony's travels. We like to get about alot and the Snoozeshade made it really easy for him to nap on the go!!!! I am sad to say though he is nearly too long for the infant carrier now!! :( I will keep using it as the Cabriofix and Snoozeshade are a perfect combo!!!
