We bought the snoo before our daughter was born and it worked great until she outgrew it and graduated to her crib after 5 months (she will be turning 4 in a couple of weeks). We then shipped it to our friend who had a baby in St. Louis, after that baby outgrew it, it was shipped to another friend in LA, back to Portland for 2 different kiddos, and now back to LA (same friend having a 2nd baby and she really wanted it again). We let each friend use it but they all agreed to ship it to the next friend.

[@dadverb]

Oh wow! That’s so cool to hear how that was passed around and each having success with it. You plan on getting get back?

[@bdtang]

@@dadverb we’re not planning on having another kid so if no other friends have kids after this year, will ask the last one who has it in LA to sell it.

Can I be next???? 😂

Our first 2 hated the swing, and my 2nd hated the SNOO cus he had reflux and even with raisers he would spit up in it. I’m still tempted to try the cradelwise with our coming 3rd.

[@iCrimsonHeart]

Thank you! We’re having our first in July and planning our second shortly after. Your opinion and knowledge helped! These were the two we’re looking at and you helped narrowed down the choice.

Former Snoo parent here, and hadn't heard of Cradlewise prior to this video so it was interesting to hear that Snoo now has some competition on the market. We did go the rental route with Snoo which in hindsight did save us some money and was appreciated. We bit the bullet and got our Snoo when our son was about 5 weeks old after having struggles getting him to sleep reliably, and overall I would say it was beneficial for us, but it was not the silver bullet for sleep that some parents make it out to be. To anyone considering either of these products, neither of them will replace developing good sleep habits and sleep skills with your child, and this was something we overlooked with our Snoo. Ironically, our child got BETTER with sleep once we transitioned him out of the Snoo (and started sleep training him), but Snoo was beneficial for us overall. As noted in the video, the sleep data in Snoo was really helpful for us to fine tune our approach when it came to getting our son to sleep regularly, but the soothing mechanism in snoo worked probably only 50% of the time with our kid. It was good for getting him too sleep, but once he woke up rarely did he soothe him to where he would fall back asleep. I'd still recommend the Snoo to parents overall but temper your expectations as it may not be the miracle solution that it is for some parents.

Thank you Kellen for what you wrote on that second half. Well put and nicely articulated. Thanks for sharing.

Our daughter is two months old and I love Cradlewise. The selling points for me were the three in one baby monitor, white noise machine and bounce along with the longevity of the product. However, the best part is the extra sleep I get. The soothing works so well. There are a few issues and things I wish was included, like being able to talk back to my baby. But Cradlewise is still working on the software and sends out occasional updates. I've also had a good experience with the customer service. They even checked in with me after u problem was solved. We ordered ahead and was able to get the discount. To me the Cradlewise was worth it.

In our market, we were able to recoup most of the cost of our Snoo after we were done using it which made the end cost only about $300. We bought one for my first son and sold it after he used it since we figured we'd get more resale value while it still had a warranty. We then bought another for my second son and plan to do the same. I had heard of Cradlewise and researched resale value in our area and at the time there wasn't anything, so figured Snoo was the safer bet cost-wise.

Always love the honesty of your reviews! Especially pointing out that every baby is different

[@dadverb]

Thank you so much!

I miss these. These are why I subscribed. I love where the channel is going, but I need videos like this too.

[@dadverb]

More to come!

I think I'm more in camp 2. I was lucky enough to have suggested the snoo to my sister before she had her last baby. A buddy of mine had recommended it to me after he had twins, and I let my sister know about it. She absolutely loved it, and when the time came for my daughter to be born, my sister sold me her snoo for only $500. It was quite worth it for me! Of course my new company now will rent a snoo for employees, so we are looking to do that for our 2nd on the way. The Snoo we purchased seems to be making some noise every once in awhile. Wonder if that was from lugging it back and forth to my parents house a bunch hah. I might just leave the old one there if we end up visiting a bunch.

[@jaybird799]

Thanks for your review, looking into the cradle wise due to the versatility of it and for longer use. Just a little scared due to the price

[@cassiemoeller3713]

Snoo did not disappoint! I rented the Snoo for baby #2 and it was a miracle!!!! I only wish it was around for baby #1.

[@dadverb]

Yet another happy Snoo family! They're crushing it. Glad you guys had a great experience with it.

[@cour2knee]

cradlewise rental is a game changer. That might be our first move. If the baby doesnt like the movement, its basically a wash- even if we were to purchase 2nd hand

[@alixdantzler2531]

The cradlewise looks great! I would totally have loved to do that with my first. We are hoping for 2 more. We ended up getting a halo bassinet and then a used crib for $45 which is now finished its life haha. She sleeps in a playpen with her newton mattress on the floor in our room. We also use the Miku. I am all about the breathing portion of the app but I would love to have the soothing bounce or sway, especially in something like the cradlewise that gives a longer life vs just the bassinet. Is there a good option for that?

[@oui.monsieur]

Please do an extended version of it. Also how do you like the dress or you have? Is it cheap feeling?

[@Jess_Tropical_jungle]

I think it’s very useful for nicu parents bringing home their baby.

[@itsfailzor]

Snoo user, currently my baby is little over 2 months, starting to roll over. Should i stop strapping/swaddling them with their arms in the sleep sack? or should i take their arms out of the sleep sack?

[@sah-i-mankurd8897]

Honestly i really want the cradlewise only because it’ll go on for a longer period of time but the fact that CW only ships to US and not elsewhere really is a huge disappointment. Hence i’m going for the snoo altho snoo itself is a very impressive creation but then again it would only work for 6 months top.

[@nathans4594]

What are anyones thoughts on the Cradlewise 2 year protection plan for $129?

[@dadverb]

Pass for me.

[@nathans4594]

@@dadverb Thanks for all your great content and reviews! Im a first time Dad and appreciated all the reviews that helped with the baby registry. We started with the Snoo but the 6 months went by fast and just ordered the Cradlewise (without the protection plan). Here is a discount code for Cradlewise : PRQMJ21Y5M

Why is the protection plan a pass?

*closed the video after hearing the price*

[@boomeradley8748]

do people really want the tech overloads of these companys accessing and selling video footage and detailed stats of their baby? this seems so extra and dystopian like just use a normal crib omg
