Are portacot/pack n play covers (block light) SIDS safe? Looking for something to help darken the room when we are not home for sleep. For example: https://snoozeshadeusa.com/collections/pack-n-play-sleep_shades/products/snoozeshade_pack_n_play_blackout_canopy Thank you!!

Red Nose Education

Red Nose does not recognise any specific product as “SIDS safe”
Product Safety Australia (ACCC) develops & monitors safety standards for all products, including those used for babies.
https://www.productsafety.gov.au/products

There are Mandatory Standards for portacots in Australia - AS/NZS 2195
https://www.productsafety.gov.au/products/babies-kids/kids-furniture/folding-cots

Does this portacot meet Australian standards?
Can baby be seen/supervised when sleeping in this product?

Red Nose has the following information to consider when buying products for your baby.
