Vicky Edge 'Living With' the SnoozeShade plus

Date added: 17th October 2013

My name is Vicky, I am 25 and married to my husband Paul.We have 4 children; Jasmine is 7, Declan is 5, Dylan is 2 and Ellie 23 weeks.

I am a stay at home mum. The week is taken up by school runs and looking after 2 little ones at home. I don’t drive so we walk or use buses to get about. Dylan enjoys making cakes during the day while Jasmine and Declan are at school and when they come home we like to go to the park and then they will help getting dinner ready. Ellie is a very happy smiley baby and loves attention.

It folds up small so perfect to keep handy for whenever you need it.

It is quick and easy to put on

Versatile - a number of different uses.

Needs to have a longer strap for parent facing pushchairs to keep it on.

It doesn't fit well on pushchairs with soft hoods

A range of colours to pick from would be great to match your pram.

First Impressions

My first impressions of the snooze shade is that it looks fab. It comes in its own net bag so it can be easily stored away when its not being used. Its a great size and it is elasticated all the way around and has popper fasteners to secure it to the pushchair frame.
I tried it on my Quinny Moodd in the house and was slightly disappointed that it doesn't fit very well in parent facing mode as there is no where for the poppers to attach to so its secure so I had to tuck them into the grooves where the hood is when I did that it seems to stay but will have to see when I take the pushchair out. you have to roll it up small to fit it back into bag that comes with it but is easy to do. Am looking forward to taking it outside and see how it copes with the wind.

I took the snoozeshade out for the first time this week on the morning school run. It was a sunny and windy day and I was very impressed with it. It kept the sun out of Ellie's face and also kept the wind away from her. The only problem I had was that I had to keep putting it back on the hood as the wind kept blowing it off. I think it could benefit from a long strap included with it so it can be kept secure on pushchairs that need it. Ellie slept in the pushchair alot better with the snoozeshade on I was really happy with that. Ellie always sleeps better when its dark.

This week we used the SnoozeShade whilst out shopping. Ellie doesn't like going shopping in Tesco's because it's too bright for her, so we thought we would take the snoozeshade with us and try it out and I can say it was the easiest shopping trip we've had in a long time. Ellie was so much happier with the snoozeshade on because it kept the lights out her face and she fell sleep about 10 minutes later. We will definitely be using the snoozeshade every shopping trip now :)

I've not used the SnoozeShade in the last week as Ellie has been very poorly so not took her out of the house. I will be using it again in the next few days now she is getting better.

We took the snoozeshade to Birmingham for some Christmas shopping and I was so glad we had it. It was a great. Ellie was happy having it on and was settled all day. Going in and out the shops with all the bright lights is normally a nightmare but with this it wasn't.

I used the SnoozeShade on Ellie's bouncy chair as she had been a bit poorly and she slept really well with it on.

After being with without a pushchair for a while and having to use the sling to carry ellie around I now have a icandy strawberry and the snoozeshade fits perfectly on it in parent facing mode. It doesnt move or blow off like it did on my quinny moodd. I can attach the straps to the frame so its more secure but its still fits on the seat unit without it being attched to the frame and it stays put. I am looking forward to using the snoozeshade more on my icandy.

Final Summary

I have loved testing the snoozeshade over the last few months.

I recently took it out on a very sunny monday morning school run, I put it on my icandy strawberry and Ellie was asleep in 10 minutes.

All in all I love the snoozeshade I would recommend it to anyone. If the issue with a longer strap being included for parent facing mode and a choice of colours being brought out it would be perfect. The different ways you can have it are fab - either a blackout shade for sleeping, a net to keep the sun off baby or open for easy access to baby. The top zip is great for peeping in on sleeping baby without disturbing them.
