It's essential to keep your baby out of the sun. When they are tiny, their skin has very little melanin and is too sensitive for sunscreen, so they can burn more easily. Even when you can introduce skin products after six months, it's still important to keep them away from direct sunshine. The award-winning Snoozeshade Plus Deluxe fits easily onto any single-width pushchair or stroller. The hood is made from a better-than-breathable mesh fabric, so it lets air flow freely. It protects your child from up to 97.5% of UV rays and helps you keep their nap routine on track while you're out and about.
