Snoo Bassinet – A Waste of Money or a Godsend?
If you were on the fence about the Snoo bassinet, I’ll explain why it’s a no brainer.
- You need a safe bassinet for your baby anyway
- Bassinets range in price from ~$100 for portable models to $2000 smart ones that rock your baby for you, and give you a sleep report on an app. If you’re already considering the Snoo bassinet, then you are probably going considering something more high-end, with an average price of ~$400-600. Read on to understand why the math still maths.
- You will probably buy a white noise machine for your baby anyway
- The Snoo bassinet has an integrated white noise machine that can be controlled remotely, eliminating the additional step of buying, installing, and turning on a separate white noise machine.
- Premium baby products are worth the investment
- Read this post about why you should always buy expensive baby products. You may find that the net cost of the Snoo is less than you think. Check Snoo’s official website Happiest Baby for frequent sales. They even sell cheaper refurbished options.
- Getting more rest will make you a better parent overall
- Sometimes babies just fuss frequently; not having to get up every 15 minutes can actually make a huge difference.
- Being able to control things remotely is a godsend, because you don’t have to risk waking up your baby by sneaking into the room, and you can continue to do whatever it is you’re doing in another room.
- It may not work for all babies, but it may work for yours
- The Snoo bassinet generally worked better for one of my children than the other. Many of my friends had it, and I’d say that it worked over 50% of the time, and that if they had to make the choice again, that they would buy it.
- You know that your baby is safe in the Snoo
- The Snoo is designed for safety, and it has a very secure swaddle that ensures your newborn sleeps securely. It gives a lot of peace of mind when you hear and read so much about SIDS.
- Great value if you use it for multiples
- Economies of scale no brainer
- It looks good in any home
- The wood effect paneling, the white mesh and minimalist legs allow it to blend in with any decor.
