What does "Sahara" mean?

  • Sahara means "support." Our first product is Sahara Nap, a head and neck support pillow. It provides support for children's heads and necks when they are riding in cars, strollers, airplanes, etc
    • First, Sahara Nap provides neck support for the child while seated in a car, stroller, bouncer, airplane, or any seat.
    • Second, when the child naps on these seats, the Sahara Nap pillow provides head support on both sides to prevent the head from drooping/slouching down as the vehicle moves. It provides an undisturbed sleep for your child. Hence, the name "Sahara."
  • The patented design provides a headrest and neck rest. It is the best anti-roll support pillow for toddlers and older children.

     What are the various parts of Sahara Nap?

    • Sahara Nap has these essential parts:
      • Outer cover for softness and a comfortable feel for your child's neck and cheeks.
      • Inner cover for waterproof protection of the foam inside.
      • The pillow's core is made from memory foam for softness and comfort.
      • Support cushion on both sides provides head support to reduce head slumping and stress on the neck
      • Optional embedded Bluetooth Speaker secured inside the inner cover pockets.

    • The inner cover is 100% polyester, meant to be water-resistant to protect the pillow core.
    • The core of the pillow is made of memory foam that provides firm support
    • Bluetooth Speaker has plastic on the outside with electronics sealed inside. 

     

    What makes Sahara Nap unique and better than other products in the market?

    • Sahara Nap has been specifically designed with our patented front support cushions that support the child when they nap. None of the other products in the market have this feature. Sahara Nap is the best head and neck support pillow designed for toddlers and children.
    • Sahara Nap has been carefully designed to prevent the child's neck from leaning forward. When used correctly, the Sahara Nap design ensures that the child is more comfortable without obstructing the working of the seat that they are sitting on.
    • Sahara Nap's design does not cause the head to be pushed forward, which is a common problem in other products in the market.
    • The high-quality memory foam used in Sahara Nap softens the pressure points making it much more comfortable for the child than standard foam used in other children's products. This provides the ideal support that is firm but soft.
    • Sahara Nap has an optional Bluetooth speaker, which is unavailable in any other children's product. 

     

    Concerned about the impact on seat operations?

    • Sahara Nap has been designed for use in various seats, including strollers, cars, bouncers, airplane seats, etc.
    • Anjadeer has consulted with professionals and considered various factors for using Sahara Nap safely with typical seats in the market today. Our patented design considers the safety of the child in all the parts of the product as listed below:
      • Sahara Nap does not hinder the working of any seat because it does not attach to the seat directly or connect to the seat's shoulder straps. See correct usage instructions for Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow to ensure the seat's normal operations are not hindered when used correctly.
      • Sahara Nap's neck cushion is designed to ensure it is appropriately tucked in behind the neck to prevent the head from leaning forward away from the seat. See correct usage instructions for Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow to ensure the child's head is appropriately rested on the seat when used correctly.
      • A child's head or body is not prevented from its natural movement because Sahara Nap provides a cushion in the front and sides that support their heads and cheeks when children nap in any seat and stroller. Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow are held in place by just its positioning; no external straps are necessary and should not be used with this product.
      • Sahara Nap has passed the safety and compliance tests successfully, as ASTM and CPSC standards required for children's products.
    • In designing Sahara Nap, as a mom and as Anjadeer's founder, I have also considered parents' concerns about their child's safety when buying new products for their kids. For example :
      • Materials used for Sahara Nap are fire-retardant, and the product's cushion cover doesn't become hot when used in cars and strollers during the hot summer months.
      • The optional embedded Bluetooth Speaker keeps the volume low for little children and away from their reach, safely tucked away in the back of the pillow. Parents/caretakers should operate the Bluetooth Speaker, including charging it when needed, pairing it with their phones, and playing age-appropriate content.

     

     How can you clean Sahara Nap?

    • Only the Outer Cover is meant to be washed directly after removing it from the pillow and the inner cover. It can be machine-washed or hand washed and must be fully dried before use.
    • Remove the Outer Cover by unstrapping the Velcro at the top of the Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow.
    • Wash/dry the Outer Cover just like any children's cotton clothes.
    • After washing and drying, put the Outer Cover back on top of the Inner Pillow and fasten the Velcro straps before using Sahara Nap.
    • The inner cover may be wiped dry for any spillage; while it is water-resistant, it is not waterproof (i.e., you should not soak it in water or other liquids). The Outer cover must always cover the inner cover while Sahara Nap is being used.
    • The inner cover may also contain the optional Bluetooth Speaker. The inner cover is not waterproof, and the electronics/batteries of the Bluetooth Speaker should not get wet.

     

     How to correctly and safely use Sahara Nap?

    • Sahara Nap is meant for children aged three years and above.
    • It is meant to be used by children seated upright while riding in a car, a stroller, or any seat. It may also be used when children are seated in airplane seats.
    • Sahara Nap is not meant for children in horizontal sleeping positions in seats and beds.
    • See the pictures below for the correct positioning of the child & the Sahara Nap:

     

    • Keep the following requirements in mind when correctly using Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow:
      • Sahara Nap must be placed and tucked behind the neck of the child so that the child's head is touching/resting directly on the seat or the stroller's backrest.
      • Sahara Nap's front cushions should be evenly positioned on the child's shoulders.
      • Sahara Nap's front cushions should be next to the cheeks of the child, close to the face on either side. Sahara Nap should be close enough on either side but not necessarily directly touching the cheeks when the child is awake.
      • When the child is napping, the front cushions should touch the cheeks to ensure the head is still straight, preventing the neck from tilting too much and causing soreness.
      • The child's head or body should not be prevented from moving front-to-back or side-to-side using Sahara Nap. Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow should only be held in place due to its shape; no external straps should be used with this product.

     

     Is Sahara Nap tested for safety?

    • Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow, including the optional Bluetooth Speaker, has passed the safety and compliance requirements specified by the ASTM &CPSC standards and is Certified by SGS. 

     

    Why do we need the optional Sahara Nap's embedded Bluetooth Speaker?

    • From our own experience with our kids, we know kids sometimes get bored on long car drives, and music/audio stories help them be entertained or help them go to sleep with songs.
    • Sahara Nap's Bluetooth Speaker can be used to entertain kids while they are using Sahara Nap. It is an optional add-on for parents who play music/other audio for their kids in the car or stroller.
    • This feature also enables parents to have their music in the car and pair a separate mobile device for the child using Sahara Nap. A win-win situation for the parents to listen to their favorite music/audiobooks and for the child to listen to their audio.
    • For younger kids, it can also be used to play a calming lullaby to help them sleep while the family is traveling in long car rides.
    • Here are the safety features of Sahara Nap's Bluetooth Speaker:
      • The volume-limiting speakers are configured not to play the audio very loudly.
      • The kids can't reach the controls while they are using Sahara Nap as per usage instructions.
    • Sahara Nap's Bluetooth Speaker must be paired with a Bluetooth-enabled Audio /Multimedia Device such as a modern cell phone. However, when pairing your Bluetooth audio device with Sahara Nap, please don't use the same Device where you may also get car navigation directions or phone calls, as these sounds may disturb the child's nap or entertainment, and the adult drivers may not hear it from back seat Sahara Nap Head and Neck Support Pillow's Bluetooth Speaker.
