About this deal

Not only do they provide a comfortable and safe environment for your baby to sleep in, they are also multi-functional allowing baby to relax and grow, including tummy time, play and changing. Are sleep pods safe? This is not recommended by the company or the American Academy of Pediatrics – it was simply a choice I made for my family.

The Grand is considerably bigger. and that size (especially the width) makes it much less suitable for co-sleeping (more on that later) than the Deluxe+. This pillow has the benefit of being very lightweight and portable, making it a great option for traveling – just throw it into your car, and you’ll have a safe space for your baby to sleep. It’s fairly affordable, too. Since the outer cover is not waterproof, it's likely that you'll want to wash those inner covers eventually, so we were happy to see those instructions.Sleep pods or sleep nests are becoming a popular choice for babies instead of the traditional Moses basket. The Grand is really an entirely different beast and to be honest, my husband and I loved lounging and napping in it ourselves! The sides are like a giant pillow, and it's great for (adult) side-sleeping with one leg on a side and your head on the upper edge. But The Lullaby Trust doesn’t advise their use for baby sleep; it states: “Evidence shows that sleeping a baby on anything but a firm, flat surface, or using soft, heavy bedding, can increase the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).” This sleeping advice refers to babies under one year old. In contrast, if you're using it for unsupervised napping, co-sleeping, or nighttime sleeping, NO, we do not think it's safe. If you definitely are going to co-sleep, we suggest you invest in a bedside sleeper that attaches to the side of your bed but has a mesh wall separating you and your soft bedding from your baby's sleeping area. You can see our list of the best bassinets here. That's much safer for your baby and will help you both get safer sleep. The Trust also reminds us: “While there is a British Standard for cot mattresses, there is no standard for pods or nests as a sleeping place for babies.”

The Best Part: The cushioned sides surround your baby snuggly to give him or her the feeling of being in the womb almost. There might not be any recorded cases of SIDS related to the use of pods or nests, but there are safety concerns highlighted by the Lullaby Trust related to the products featuring padded sides and soft bases. The Best Part: It’s adjustable so that it will grow with your baby up to the age of around nine months. It’s made of 100% breathable cotton that is non-toxic and provides a soft place for your little one to relax and have tummy time, if needed. It even has a hypoallergenic filler to help parents remain at ease that their little one is resting in and around safe materials. We didn't need to wash the inner fabric covers that seal the polyester batting into the tube and mattress, but the tag does have instructions on how to do so.

Unzip those and pull out the tube and mattress pad, and you can machine wash the cover in a garment bag, then hang it to dry. It can be used as a portable playpen, changing pad, lounger, or co-sleeper. Or, really, it can be used as all of those things to really get the most out of it. And the fact that it is 100% portable makes it even better. Babies from 0-12 months of age can get plenty of use out of the bassinet and thanks to its overall comfort, convenience, and longevity, it’s a win all around. Overall, it can be used for babies up to 12 months old if needed and you should keep the clasps to keep the lounger closed until they each at least three months of age. Second, related to the floppiness, the side batting in the Grand tended to become uneven and bunched up in certain areas. We're assuming this is because of the wider tube diameter and use of loose polyester batting. Of course, the lumpiness can make it look a bit different than what you'd expect from the photos.

In an article on Motherly, Allaya Cooks-Campbell wrote: “Already a favorite for families and a registry must-have, the new designs feature florals and marbleized prints that are super soothing and so chic.” The Abreeze Baby Bassinet has a lot of different possible functions for your little one, including side sleeper, travel bed, portable charger, or lounger for relaxing and tummy time. Outer cover - this is simple to remove, simply unzip and remove the tube and the pad and it’s ready to be washed. It needs to be washed on a cool/warm heat. It is recommended you use a garment bag to avoid colour bleeding, although we never used one and the colour has not run). Air dry only

The Jhion Baby Lounger calls itself a newborn cocoon snuggle bed and for good reason. It is designed to keep your infant snug and comfortable while they nap, relax, or even sleep through the night. But it’s also fully adjustable to accommodate your growing child and the tied ends on the bottoms can be loosened as needed, even so far as to have the bottom of the lounger open while your baby relaxes in it. Overall, it’s lightweight and easy to travel with and can even help reduce flat head syndrome in little ones. And unlike some other loungers which have hard-to-remove covers, the zipper on this one is hassle-free and easy to use at all times.

The soft and breathable cotton makes the lounger comfortable and the ample padding will keep your toddler from wanting to get out. It might even make naptime a little easier, which any parent of a toddler would welcome. But it goes beyond an activity mat in that you can bring it along easily to the beach, hiking, camping, or a picnic in the park. The walls give your baby a good sensory experience of being partially enclosed and secure, but also keep out other little things, like sand on the beach, bugs while camping, etc.On the contrary, we were happy to learn that there is no inflating or deflating necessary, and the entire thing is stuffed with polyester batting. If you are pregnant and registering for a baby don’t even think about the Grand yet. You are only focusing on the Deluxe as that will get you through the first 8+ months of your babies life. Then you can make an assessment on if you want/need the Grand down the road. It’s perfect for lounging, cuddling, or playing, and babies can even nap in the lounger because it is that padded and comfortable. It also provides air-permeability, so your little one probably won’t be too cool or too hot while relaxing in the CuddleNest.
