SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet

Also the app is now completely free to all buyers. Update (latest): baby is now 3.5 months and after using Snoo for over two months now, baby is doing non stop 9 hours straight. He is very aware and calm throughout the day since he is well rested. Attaching a picture from Snoo app as well for latest three nights for reference. Super hit with our child. Update: 3 weeks in and our baby has just started hitting 5-6 hours on a stretch. He ill wake up but snoo will calm him and put to sleep under 5 minutes. We did however made few changes and Snoo alone won’t do magic. We started to keep him awake up until 8:00 PM or at least no sleep for 2-3 hours before 10 PM. This will be possible once your baby is well rested (not immediately after you get Snoo). After that baby does 5-6 hours of sleep and is still under 2 months. He will get up for 4-5 minutes. We do check his diaper but due to deep sleep he is so drowsy that after charging diaper, he is back to sleep in Snoo. SNOO is a hit with our first child and who is a month old. He is very fussy mostly due to gas and was not able to sleep for more than 1-2 hours at a time. Crying was painful and me and my wife were not able to keep up with the our own sleep. We got this yesterday and within 48 hours we both are fully caught up on sleep. For our baby Snoo calms him down under 30 sec. He is already doing 3-4 hours sleep at a time without crying at all. We have to wake him up to feed or change his diaper and for the most part we can control our routine now. This is a game changer for us and we both are sleeping together 8-9 hours a night (with 2 breaks for feeding and diaper but no crying since he stays drowsy from deep sleep). I have read that this is a hit or miss. Luckily it’s a hit for us. Also our baby loves car rides and bumpy roads of Chicago and Snoo does similar with AI and softwares, So if your baby likes car rides, they may love Snoo. Looks very sleek and good build quality as well as the swaddle fabric is very soft and comfortable. It’s heavy and not easy to move around. Meant to be in one spot for most of the time. It’s only been 2 days so will update this in a month in case I don’t forget.

The Snoo is amazing and makes a world of difference in allowing us to get sleep and to keep our baby well rested and happy. I think pretty much everyone who's used it agrees that it's amazing. The only negative reviews are about the price and when they started charging for the app, but the Snoo is still a great deal if you can afford it. The setup was incredibly easy, it's not too heavy, it looks nice, is safer for SIDS, blah blah blah - AND IT ALLOWS US TO SLEEP. The only reason not to buy the Snoo is the price. But you already know the price - the question is just whether it's worth spending the money for pretty much some guaranteed extra sleep. For us - the answer is definitely yes and we'd buy it again in a heartbeat, although it's so durable and reliable that probably won't be necessary.

We are starting month 6 in the Snoo with my twins. There are a few annoying things about it, especially the fact that you can't control two Snoos on the same account on your phone--you need to log out and log back in (I actually use an old iPhone to control the second Snoo, this phone basically only exists as a Snoo remote control now). I also wish the sound and speeds were even more customizable. Also, the app doesn't give you all the times the snoo was turned on and off and when it speeds up--that's super dumb, why can't we see that info? You can only see some of it. However, I love the Snoo and would buy it again. Especially for twins, when we need all the help we can get with sleep. It was the one big splurge we made before the babies came, but I feel like we'll get most of the money back when we resell the Snoos. I was lucky that my babies are, so far, pretty good sleepers. That might be totally due to the Snoo. I don't know. I have watched it soothe them back to sleep with my own eyes. Recently, in fact, one baby has started waking up an hour into her nighttime sleep and SCREAMING and the only thing that calms her is Snoo level 3. It's amazing. I am scared for when we have to give it up. Actually, that was my biggest hesitation with the Snoo was getting them to stop using it. But there is a weaning mode that helps with that. Another great thing is that ZERO babies have died from SIDS in the Snoo. It is, so far, 100% safe, which is a good feeling. I never have to worry about safe sleeping. However, I do feel like it could encourage flat heads even more than regular back sleeping because the baby is strapped down. Pro tip: Wait until Happiest Baby has a Snoo sale (they have 30% off ALL the time and rarely 40% off). They will also have the sale on Amazon. Then combine it with your Amazon Registry Completion Discount (10-15%) to get an even bigger discount.

The Snoo is expensive, and Snoo for twins is doubly expensive. However, I bit the bullet in the hopes of better sleep. If you are thinking of doing the same, you should know that Snoo does not work with twins on Android. You need two seperate devices, which even if you have two phones for some reason, it is such a pain to figure out who is crying, find the right device, and then soothe them. By then, they have already gotten really awake. And for all of you who (like me) will be doing nights alone, good luck! You can only use the app for one baby. Further, the app kept disconnecting. The support was awful. Every time I asked for help, I got a list of 8+ steps I needed to do before they would help me. These were complicated steps like taking a photo of the code on the bottom of the snoo, getting a video of the problem, and showing my online receipt. Then, the video length they want is too long to send in an email, but they won't help you unless you complete all of these steps. What new parent, especially with twins, has time to do all that? Finally, DO NOT BUY EARLY even for a sale. We had our twins several months after we bought our Snoo, because it was on sale then and because we were worried we would have premies. The support will only help you for exactly 6 months from your purchase, which for us was only after a few weeks of use. SO FRUSTRATING!

UPDATE 2: changing to 5 stars. Now using this product with our second baby. It has performed perfectly. She was sleeping through the night at 7 weeks and I can't tell you how many times the Snoo has soothed her to sleep when we couldn't. It's amazing and I'm so glad we purchased. HOT TIP: use the Amazon baby registry completion discount to purchase! UPDATE 1: changing to 4 stars from 3. Even though we had technical difficulties, we do love this product and it brings so much comfort to our little one. I only wish customer service was available weekends. When our power cord went out on Friday night of a 3 day weekend, I wanted to sob. But they made it right and all's well that ends well. We're at the weaning stage now. OP: We love the Snoo. Unfortunately, it has broken twice already. The first time was a problem with the wifi, then the bed just wouldn't turn on. The company replaced the whole unit but we lost precious nights in a very expensive bassinet and it was a hassle. Tonight something has gone wrong with the power cord and the bed will once again not turn on. Not what one would expect from a $1K product. Very disappointed.

I bought this the week before my baby was due using my amazon baby registry completion discount (15% off!) The Snoo has totally lived up to the hype for me. My baby loves it and it's so easy to put him to sleep. It's been especially helpful for me because I can't bear to do any kind of "cry it out" sleep training. For my first child (with no snoo) this meant lots of hours rocking the baby to sleep and often falling asleep with her in my bed because I was so tired the quiet rocking would put me to sleep before her. Waking up with the baby in my bed would always freak me out because of SIDS fears. Anyway, long story short, the Snoo has totally solved this problem for me with my second kid. I just put my tired baby in the Snoo and he peacefully drifts off, no belabored rocking routine required. One thing that surprised me when I received my Snoo was that it came with three swaddles and a sheet for the mattress. With all the accessories included, I felt like it was a pretty decent value for the money. And now that my baby is 4 months old and has slept wonderfully in the Snoo, I think it's a fantastic value and I recommend it to every (well-off financially, eek) pregnant lady I know.

We bought this before our daughter was born due to the safety aspects, and it was one of those “nice” things we splurged on. Unfortunately my daughter was diagnosed with central sleep apnea and sent home on oxygen; now I cannot imagine how we would have coped without the SNOO. Because of the SNOO sack and securing ‘wings’ I don’t have to worry that she has pulled off her oxygen in the middle of the night. Nor do I have to worry about her wiggling around and getting the tubing wrapped around her neck. Now a word about sleep: We started her in the SNOO from the day we brought her home, but we woke her up every three hours to feed her until her 2 week check up and we verified that she had regained to (and surpassed) her birth weight. After that we switched to demand feeding. The day she hit 3 weeks she slept for 5 hours straight. Now she is 7 weeks old and sleeps anywhere from 6 to 7.5 hours a night; with 6.5 being her average. In short, she seems to be sleeping well and I certainly sleep easier knowing that she can't remove her oxygen and entangle herself in it. So, everybody is sleeping in our house. Thank goodness for this product!!

We purchased the snoo on sale before our baby was born. We were blessed with a boy who has always been a pretty good sleeper. He was sleeping through the night by 8 weeks. It’s hard to say if he would’ve been without the snoo, because we did end up using the snoo for 4 months. Pros: I do feel like the snoo helped our already good sleeper sleep better. Baby was safe and could not roll over. The swaddles were easier to use than the hospital or other swaddles we were given. The snoo is aesthetically pleasing. The software and hardware worked as anticipated. But there are a few things that REALLY grinded my gears. Cons: Washability of the bassinet sucks. Our baby projectile pooped onto the side of the snoo (as well as the wall and carpet) just a few weeks in. To my great disappointment, there was no way to take the mesh side off to wash it. Cut to me scrubbing the side with a tooth brush trying to get newborn poop out from each tiny little mesh hole. The mesh also caught the Velcro of the swaddles all the time, damaging the mesh side by fraying them. Super annoying. And that brings me to my next gripe, the swaddles have tiny wings that you need to slide over clips to be able to start the snoo. The number of times we woke our kid up trying to get the wings on the clips is SO frustrating, still. The easiest way for us was to leave the swaddle clipped in and then secure the baby in the swaddle. The subscription is my next irk. You get 6 months free, which more than covered us for the period of use for our first kid. But most of the features we found most helpful are behind a paywall for kid 2. I get SaaS is the only way to run a business these days, but for $1800 I deserve core functionality without a subscription. Smells like greed. Finally my last gripe. Our kiddo started busting out of the swaddle at 3 months, which tipped us off that it was time to let him have his arms. But because the snoo is so small for our 17lb 4 month old, his hands rubbed on the sides which woke him up. We turned on weaning mode, which he did well with. The sack he was in was pretty tight and our kid was more mobile (even though he was in the correct size for his weight), so we transitioned to a pack and play. He goes to sleep well at home and at daycare, we’ve had no infamous sleep regression at 4 months, we probably won’t need to sleep train. And I think the snoo helped with some of this good sleeping. Conclusion: I can’t say the snoo wasn’t worth it or didn’t help. But I can say that both my husband and I were incredibly annoyed at the design flaws and subscription. We will use it for future kids, but will still be annoyed with its shortcomings and the shorter than expected period of use.

Quite expensive but worthy.
