Tommee Tippee Sleeptime Portable Blackout Blind, Large - Travel

In this review the Tommee Tippee Sleeptime Portable Blackout Blind is evaluated as a practical travel accessory for parents who need to recreate a dark sleep space for babies on the move. The single biggest reason to buy is its ability to create a near-total blackout quickly and without tools, using long-lasting suction cups so naps and night sleep are less disrupted by daylight or unfamiliar accommodation. It is clearly aimed at families who travel, visit relatives, or need reliable daytime nap solutions outside the nursery.

Key Features

• Total blackout fabric: The 100% polyester blackout material blocks daylight to help maintain a baby's sleep routine in bright conditions.
• Strong suction cups: Suction fittings around the edge attach to glass quickly for a close fit that reduces light leakage at the window perimeter.
• Adjustable size: Fastenings allow the blind to be reduced to roughly a third of its maximum or extended to fit windows up to 130 x 198cm.
• Lightweight and portable: At about 680g and folding to 290 x 230 x 60mm it fits the included travel bag for easy carrying and storage.
• Easy care: The blind folds away neatly between uses and is machine washable for hygiene and convenience.

Who It's For

The blind is best for parents and carers who need a quick, temporary blackout solution for travel, daycare, grandparents' homes or daytime naps in brighter rooms. It suits families with babies and toddlers whose sleep is sensitive to light and who want a compact, lightweight option to take in a pram or suitcase.

It may be less suitable for permanent window treatments or windows with textured glass or very uneven frames where suction cups struggle to seal; for built-in blackout solutions or irregular windows a dedicated fitted blind or curtain will be a better long-term choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effectively blocks light to create a dark sleep environment for daytime naps and early mornings.
• Quick to install and adjust to different window sizes, making it genuinely travel-friendly.
• Compact, lightweight and supplied with a travel bag so it is easy to take on trips.

Cons

• Some users report mixed feelings about sturdiness of the suction fit on imperfect glass, so performance can depend on the window surface.
