Honest gear review: Snoo vs regular bassinet

Dec 5·1 min read

We got the Snoo on a Craigslist deal (like $400 instead of $1500 lol) when our son was born. Seven months later - it's genuinely the best thing we bought. He slept in it way better than the regular Pack and Play we had with our daughter. Is it worth the full MSRP? Probably not. Is it worth hunting for a used one? Honestly yeah. The rocking motion just worked for our kid. Plus watching your baby sleep on the app while you're downing coffee in the kitchen feels like luxury.

The Snoo is legitimately worth it if you can get it used. We borrowed one from a friend and I was skeptical till I saw the difference in sleep quality

Getting a Snoo for $400 is absolutely insane. That thing normally costs more than my car payment. What did you do differently that made him sleep better in it vs the regular bassinet?

This is the validation I needed. We're considering one but the price point made me hesitate. Good to know the secondhand market has actual deals

lol at 'like $400 instead of $1500' - that's the only way I'd ever consider buying one. How loud is it? Seems like the motion would wake YOU up constantly

Seven months in and still using it? Most people I know abandon the fancy bassinet by like month 3. What's keeping you with the Snoo
