The shade includes a flexible, semi-rigid support arch member, symetrical left and right panel members, a top panel member and attachment elements for securing the shade to the furniture item. The various panel members are opaque to prevent bright light and other common radiation from reaching the infant. The shade is lightweight, portable and flexible so that it may be readily adapted to and exchanged among a variety of furniture items such as infant car seats, car beds, swings and strollers. For aesthetic purposes the panel materials may be selected to have attractive colors and patterns and the shade may be provided with a decorative ruffle.
