Product Information

SNOO boosts confidence.With more sleep, less crying, and fewer worries about Baby's safety, parents tend to feel like they're doing a good job meeting their lovebug's needs. And more sleep helps a new parent feel more like themself, which contributes to overall wellbeing. Babies should always sleep on a safe and sturdy surface, so we appreciate how well-built the SNOO Smart Sleeper is. Made out of wood paneling breathable mesh, its attractive mid-century modern look fits in with most home decor styles. During our tests, the bassinet always felt stable—we never noticed any wobbling or creaky noises—and it’s held up beautifully over the months we’ve been using it. Plus, since the app really is a cinch to use, the bassinet and all its features and functions are long-lasting, too. According to the FDA, there are no infant sleep systems or positioners that are allowed to market themselves as preventing or reducing the chances of SIDS or SUID.

If the SNOO won’t boot up,the most likely reason is the connection between the loops and the safety clips. If they’re not securely attached, the bassinet won’t start. In 2020, it was accepted for inclusion in the Food and Drug Administration’s Breakthrough Device Program, which allows manufacturers access to faster FDA review of new health products that have the potential to better treat medical conditions than other products currently on the market. Happiest Baby and the FDA are currently in an “active dialogue,” Karp says, as the Snoo continues to undergo review as a product that, Happiest Baby claims, has the potential to prevent sudden infant death (SIDS) and sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). “At the end of this process, the FDA could decide to authorize the product for reducing the risk of SIDS,” says an FDA spokesperson. Is environmentally sound. Each SNOO rental is fully refreshed, sanitized, and certified 100% safe before being sent to its next home, ensuring less waste in landfills. (While you may think buying used is also environmentally smart, know that Consumer Reports advises against purchasing second-hand cribs and bassinets for safety reasons.)To increase SNOO's level of sound and motion, simply push SNOO's Activity Button for several seconds. As you continue to push, the button will change colour and SNOO will advance to the next level of sound and motion. (You can adjust SNOO's sound and motion with the mobile App, too.) Ultimately, though, it's a small price to pay for improved sleep quality (for both the newborn and parent), which can be hard to come by during those first few months. Everything about it is intuitive and functional, including the app. One of our editors, who experienced postpartum complications and a few hospitalizations, can't rave enough about it: "The ability to have one less thing to worry about and maximize my sleep, giving my body the recuperation it needed, was priceless," she said. "The SNOO not only helped my baby sleep more soundly, it helped me heal." The Competition Babies who “practice tummy time” and sleep 14 hours or so in the Snoo, with the remainder spent elsewhere (such as in their parents’ arms or in a baby carrier) are less likely to experience developmental delays and flat head than babies who spend 18 daily hours of sleep in the same position without that crucial tummy time, Giannone says. But because babies often roll for the first time at night when they are alone in their own space, parents may miss that important milestone and keep babies in the Snoo longer than they should, she says. Parents might miss these early signs if a baby is in day care, too. This smart bassinet is for parents who want to help their newborns—and themselves—get good, safe sleep. Its cry detection technology is truly impressive, and the bassinet soothes your baby accordingly—maybe even before you’re able to get out of bed. Plus, the compatible app and other features are all easy to use to make life easier for new parents.

I highly recommend asking for advice from the members of the r/snoolife Reddit group. They will dive deep with you and analyze your screenshots of the Snoo app’s daily log. Update, October 24, 2023: On October 21, the American Academy of Pediatrics released new guidance regarding pediatric noise exposure, which includes information on white noise machines like those that are included in the Snoo (and cannot be turned off during use). In this new guidance, the AAP recommends that caregivers place a white noise machine as far away from a baby’s head as possible, use the lowest possible volume, and use the device only for a short time. CR will provide additional updates soon. To find out if the SNOO lives up to the hype, we sent it home with our parenting editors to use with their own newborns, who slept in the bassinet for over 650 hours. We evaluated it for ease of setup, features, ease of use, durability, and value to see if it’s truly worth the price tag.All-night white noise:Research has shown that white noise can help 80% of babies fall asleep in just 5 minutes. To manually increase the intensity level, push the button and hold for 3 seconds. The color of the light will change to indicate the intensity change. To continue going up in levels, release the button and hold again for 3 seconds each time. To stop at any time, simply press and release the button OR remove the swaddle sleeve To evaluate the SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet, we sent it home with some of our editors who are parents to newborns so they could test how well it works. We tested it for 650 hours, assessing it based on ease of setup, features, ease of use, durability, and value. Our editors assembled the bassinet, took close note of how well-written the instructions are, if the setup was intuitive, and whether a second pair of hands was needed. Next, our editors paired the SNOO with the compatible app to see how easy the process is and if the app is user-friendly. Before putting a baby in the crib, we tested out the movement and sound settings using the app to see how well it performed and how easy the settings were to adjust, in addition to noting if the highest speed seemed safe for a baby. The SNOO smart sleeper is a beautiful, high-end piece of technology and yet it is still very simple to operate. Before we get into the nuts and bolts of how to use the SNOO, let’s take a minute to go over the features of the best smart bassinet.
