SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe
Babies love going out and about with their mums. But sometimes (and especially in tropical Singapore), the heat and bright sunlight can be a bit too much for your little one's sensitive skin and eyes.
Well, you needn't worry about that happening with the SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe!
This innovative product is the UK’s bestselling sun and sleep shade, and has the distinction of being approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.
Designed by a mum, it is a great travel accessory that does two important jobs:
1. As a sunshade, it has one of the highest levels of sun protection. Also, its large soft mesh window allows your baby to enjoy the sights around him, while being protected from 80% of UV rays.
2. As a sleep aid, use the ‘snooze panel’ to create the shade and seclusion that your baby may need to get to sleep. You can even quietly check on your sleeping baby via the sneak-a-peek zip.
This item is perfect for holidays, days out, going for a walk with your baby tucked safely into a buggy, popping down to the shops or just when you want to keep the sun from getting in your baby's eyes.
Made from a double layer of breathable, lightweight and stretchy mesh fabric that blocks 97.5% of UV rays and allows air to circulate, the SnoozeShade also protects your baby from the wind, the cold and insects — just close the central panel or put it in 'sleep mode.'
The SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe is suitable for use from birth onwards. All SnoozeShade products are tested to meet the same high safety standards as children’s toys.
Each SnoozeShade comes with a free storage bag and is machine washable at 30 degrees.

Baby Zoo Momo
Most people love sleeping in, especially on the weekend... except of course, your toddler or preschooler!
Which is why we know that you'd probably love a device that teaches kids about when they need to stay in bed, and when it's time to wake up!
Well, look no further... check out the Baby Zoo Momo Monkey Sleeptrainer Clock!
It is an alarm clock featuring an adorable monkey who tells the child when it is time to get up and also lets her know if she still needs to catch some Z's — just by opening and closing its eyes!
When the monkey's eyes are closed, it means, "You should be sleeping."
When its eyes are open, it's time to "Rise and shine." A cool jungle alarm will also sound when it is time to rise.
This way, your kid learns when to stay in bed and when to wake up.
Needless to say, the Baby Zoo Momo Sleeptrainer Clock is especially suitable for toddlers and young children who frequently wake up in the middle of the night or are early risers.
