Dubai is a sunny place, in fact perhaps one of the sunniest places on the planet. On average rain falls here 5 days a year here (yes you read correctly!) and I remember Miss M recently shouting with excitement ‘Look mummy a cloud’ as a little fluffy cloud floated high in the sky. So needless to say whenever I’m outside with my kids in the stroller I always carry something to cover the pram to protect my kids from the sun. I mostly use oversized muslin cloths as a cover but recently SnoozeShade asked if I’d like to trial their SnoozeShade Plus.
SnoozeShade make a range of breathable blackout blinds and sleep aids and is designed by a British mum who was tired of hanging blankets over the pram to help her daughter nap on-the-go. I found lots of benefits to the SnoozeShade Plus:
- one-size-fits-all allows it to be used with all prams and strollers.
- easy to put on. Though I must admit I found it a lot more fiddly than throwing over a blanket. However, once on it’s securely on and unlike a muslin blanket it’s not going to get kicked off and inevitably caught in the wheels of the stroller.
- offers the highest level of sun protection (UPF50+) so I know that my kids are protected from the sun.
- made from a breathable fabric.
- can be used as a black-out blind but with the option to open a panel so that my kids can see out while still being protected by the sun. The black-out blind feature makes this product useful indoors as well to help aid sleep, such as when I’m shopping at the mall during nap time!
- packs down to next to nothing so very easy to travel with.
