Keep your baby in the dark. Literally.
I've got to be honest, the Snooze Shade is the kind of product I dream of being able to use more. Because, well, my babies don't generally start sleeping in the first place.
But for anyone with a baby who actually does sleep, the Snooze Shade could be a lifesaver. It comes in two sizes --to fit an infant car seat or a stroller-- and is made from black, breathable UPF50+ fabric. Anytime baby is ready for shut-eye you can just pop it on and create a dark, comfy environment for baby, even on the sunniest of days.

Yes, a receiving blanket has worked fine for years. It's not like this is something every baby will require. But I am intrigued by the idea that it really blacks out the light, and that it's designed to stay on. Especially during those long summer drives when the sun seems to be shining into baby's eyes no matter what direction you're driving.

You know, those times when baby reacts like a vampire exposed to sunlight -- except with less pretty sparkly bits and with more all-out crying. I know you know what I'm talking about. -Stephanie
