Lighter evenings and travelling away from home can make bedtime more difficult with young babies staying more alert and toddlers wanting to stay up later because "it's not dark yet!". Blackout Blinds block the light out of the room, to make your child's sleeping space dark, distraction free and sleep ready, so not only are they great for lighter evenings and day naps, they're also great for blocking distractions that new environments bring.
Blackout Blind Comparison
What should I consider when choosing Blackout Blinds?
1. What size is the window you need to cover?
2. Will you only be using them in Baby's nursery or do they need to be portable?
3. Will you leave them up permanently or put them up & down for each sleep?
4. What type of attachment do you want?
