I find getting Tabitha to nap during the day is essential and sometimes impossible. I have always believed sleep breeds sleep and when she had good structured naps she goes to bed happily, otherwise we get a grumpy stroppy child from hell. It doesn't always fit in with our days plans of course.
This is why i love the idea of these buggy shades. They help shade and close off the baby from the sunshine and distractions. This also works well as an 'unwanted attention' deterrent see my post here where i discuss this.
So Mumra readers, i have been lucky enough to get my hands on two of the best shades around for a giveaway.
The Kurtis Baby Peace Curtain.
 |
Just one of the designs and colours available... |
The Baby Peace Curtain is a 100% cotton fabric that is available in 6 different colours and 7 different designs. Its a funky and trendy looking product that is always going to get commented on and make your buggy stand out in a crowd.
The fabric keeps the sun out and creates a dark cool and shady area for baby to sleep. The hooks attach to most buggy hoods and car seat handles. I found the fabric was so soft it can also double up as a small blanket when needed. Due to the nature of the hooks the curtain can also be pulled across to peek inside to check on baby for peace of mind.
Definitely a trendier option than a cardigan or muslin don't you agree?
The Snooze Shade.
 |
| Classic Buggy Shade.... |
The Snooze Shade is a classic design which creates the ultimate private space for baby. If you are just out and about on a sunny day at naptime or out to dinner over bedtime it will create a peaceful and dark sleeping area for baby.
I think this is ideal when you go on holiday especially for those evening meals when baby needs to be asleep and for daytime it has excellent UPF 50+ qualities for your peace of mind.
The Snooze Shade fits nearly all buggies its velcro straps mean it fits snug leaving very little light getting in and has a handy zip to peek at baby through without disturbing them.
Giveaway Time.
I have one of each of these products to giveaway as prizes. One lucky reader will receive a Grey Classic Baby Peace Curtain and another a Snooze Shade complete with carrybag.

I love these BP curtains especially the Life in blue(i think its the one on your blog). This summer I was using a blanket, jumper or muslin. Not great as Jack found it funny to keep pulling them down. My email is adele1983@live.com

I remembered this competition yesterday whilst in town with my kid sister, who cleverly tied a muslin around the pram in a knotted fashion to keep the sun out, although this worked fairly well it looked awful and having spent a lot time convincing the hubby to buy me a red bugaboo i think a Baby Peace Shade would be the perfect match!
ReplyDeleteMy sons middle name is Tiger so it has to be the Tiger shade in white with the red printed Tiger to coordinate with the pram. (as the video shows in the link provided on here)

My fave colour is probably the plain orange prob a bit much as my bugaboo is orange too so it would have the be the light grey/beige colour not to sure about the prints but think the concept is brill!! I have a pretty useless parasol so normally resort to a big'ish blanket so it doesn't blow off(annoying!)
ReplyDeleteIt is a really annoying situation when the sunshine is affecting your baby's ability to nap peacefully. I have used parasol sunshades which are absolutely useless in anysort of crowded area or wind...also the tried and testested but still not so successfull muslin too. Wish I'd known about these at the beginning of summer!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite design/colour is the Kurtis Baby Peace EMBRACE ( I agree with earlier poster that it's a bit "Banksy" and GREY looks great.
