While I suggest you get one second hand… for those that insist on new, this is worth the $$ for any new parent.

$1000+ to use for a few months…
I just checked out the product page…they make a lot of promises 🙃
Babies grow out of this size cot soooo quickly. You blink and they need a bigger frame. But, then maybe some peoples pockets are deeper. But at least dont believe the hype - "automatically sleep trains the baby"……bahahahaa mm hhmm 🤣
Honestly, this is not worth it at all. Newborns sleep a lot and they will wake up when they need a feed, no smart sleeper is gonna change that. And they will outgrow this in no time.
This may provide little to no real advantage over a dumb cot. Buy it if you are loaded, don't buy it if you are doing it thinking this is a magical solution for sleepless new parents
Disagree. It's good. It's not a magical bullet though.
And you need to learn about sleep cycles and hope your baby can sleep.
But it would give you a good 10mins of auto baby rocking. Which is pretty helpful.
When you are tired.
It's good.
U have one or are you going to buy one?
This product is the best thing I ever bought for my newborn. It’s helped him sleep through the night, basically every night and give my wife and I hours of sleep.
@The Wololo Wombat: I wouldn't automatically attribute that to the device. Mine slept through the night in a cot with just a comfy swaddle. A friend who bought this second hand said it didn't work for her
@The Wololo Wombat: oh wait you are the poster of the deal, I dont think people are dismissing your experience because every baby is different, and IMO if this was a good reliable solution a chinese an indian copy would have flooded the market for 1/10 of the price because the margin of this product would be HUGE at this price point
@The Wololo Wombat: My own experience with my kid not using this and firsthand experience of others who did use this. I didn't dismiss your experience entirely did I? Just saying it would depend mostly on the kid. Some go to sleep easily with or without this and some don't. So it's not guaranteed to work.
For me a swaddle, a bottle feed before sleep at night and white noise on a smart speaker seemed to work. And I can't guarantee even that really had an impact on my kid being able to sleep through the night. We were actually worried because many new parents we know didn't have the same experience and we consulted a pediatrician who said it sometimes depends on the baby and we shouldn't be worried if the baby sleeps through the night and has a healthy weight gain.
@0FoxGiven: I should've been less intense with my reply - all good! We're stumbling through parenthood. The price of this device is obscene and I was super hesitant to try it, but I was convinced when I considered I could buy second hand and resell if it didn't work. But it'd say this device has saved my (and more importantly my wife) hours of sleep and staved off postnatal depression.
Not sure why your downvoted so heavily. Marketing have got people convinced it's essential. Learn about wake windows, some sleep sacks if swaddles aren't working for you and a cheap Bluetooth speaker for a sound machine and you've got a very similar set up. Yes it doesn't "auto rock", but my other half works within a sleep school and advises that these devices pray upon sleep deprived Parents with fancy marketing.
If it's worked for you, congratulations, I'm glad you were able to get some sleep, it's a bloody tough time near the start of a babies life.
No snoo-snoo means you won't need snoo
Friend has one. Doesnt work.
What a waste of 1 k USD
Oh well. Money is money.
At least they went ahead first instead of us.
I am renting one for our first baby at the moment.
It's good, but I would definitely recommend buying second hand or just renting for however long you need it. Especially as it can be hit or miss as to whether it actually works for your baby. And as others have said, your baby will outgrow this after ~4-6 months.
It's not going to perform miracles, but it may simply save you something like ~30 mins of time you'd otherwise be settling your baby over a 24 hour window.
babies are all different, and to promise something like sleep train the baby is completely bs, may be it will work but then may be you dont need to spend 1000 dollars for a small cot that should be portable but has no wheels, if you want premium products look up the japanese brand combi, this one looks like its one of those drop shipping kol influencer how i made a million dollar when i was still in high school ecommerce hustler
if you want to sleep train your baby - pray to the sleeping god to get a baby who would go to sleep and sleep easily
For my baby, this was practically essential.
Agree - for us, worked amazingly. Quick to soothe and sleep after feeding, the rocking actually seemed to work, he was super comfortable sleeping in it, swaddle is great, white noise worked for us and baby. Our little dude has been a near perfect sleeper since and getting 12 hours every night (now 2.5y). My confirmation bias says it was the Snoo… YMMV.
whatever work to get the baby to sleep, perhaps like someone suggested above, rent it first before committing sounds like a great plan if the baby doesnt sleep at night
Lots of strong comments for and against.
I have one, one month old now in it.I have experimented NOT using the shaking or sounds (i.e. snoo is off so it's just a bassinet) and trying to put them to sleep. Much easier to do so with the Snoo on to do the soothing before sleep, during sleep, and when startled by whatever means and put them back to sleep if they are able to.
When the baby startles and would wake themselves up if the snoo was not rocking, then I would not be getting extra sleep - nor the baby.Baby wakes up anyway if hungry either way, however the Snoo extends the sleeping cycle just that little longer - last few nights 4-6 hours straight!
and can easily settle them so I am hands free to do other things. just put in snoo, swaddled, crank up the level a few to calm the restlessness and they soothe themselves to sleep.Like…how is that not worth it..for parents to get more sleep?!
I had one of these for my kid and it was amazing. Slept through the night from day 1 at home and we had to wake her to feed her. Highly recommend it. However it’s still expensive at this price. I think we paid $1100 during a Black Friday sale. I have also heard from other parents that it doesn’t work for their kids so it’s not for everyone.
I got close to buying one of these many times at 3am doing the night shift to let my wife sleep.
At the end of the day, just toughen up and push through the few months. I look back now and appreciate the bonding that happened and believe that it helped us be closer instead of letting a machine do my work.
My first born literally wouldnt sleep unless im holding him in my arms from the first hour of his life until he was like a year old, perhaps because I was stupid to hold him to sleep, perhaps he was born a bit early so the premies made it hard, perhaps he is just one angry baby, perhaps I was inexperience and jump at any signs the a new born would do. But may be because of that he is super attached to me and not his mum, my second born is fine, wakes up every few hours for feed and go back to sleep, cry a bit here and there, baby things you know
Using an app like Little Ones or Huckleberry and learning about self soothing was a Godsend for us. Yes, all babies are different but we are so lucky she learned to self soothe after some very rough weeks of trying to teach her.
People are so precious with their babies
this product seem more for us set and forget folks,
it promises to rock a bye baby without waking us :)
"While the term “smart” is sometimes used for any device that's plugged in or has a connected App, simply being able to move, make noise, or operate remotely doesn't make a bassinet smart! "
Im glad they approached the smart nonsense head on smart this and that when many products are nothing but user interface and nothing smart. Interesting product sounds like it does some motorised movements to change angles of the base.
I went to the car wash the other day and they are promoting the top level car wash as UHD 4k for $90
I guess they picked it because it is at the time was top of the range tvs promise crisp image qualitysome other car wash promising their auto washer has fullhd quality results.
but being car wash people i guess they don't understand HD and UHD are a measure of the technology not a term of quality or clarity.
Thanks op , buy 0
