Both Lee
and I are very impressed with it and I wish I had had one with Bug when he was
a baby, being truly grateful that I have one in my life now for Jelly Bean and
hopefully any other babies we have.
To try and
express how much we love the SnuzPod I thought I would share with you 5 reasons
why we have big SnuzPod Love.
1 – Design
and easy assembly
Whilst Lee
insisted on doing the daddy DIY and putting the SnuzPod together when I was
pregnant ready for Jelly Bean’s arrival I watched him assemble it and we are
both impressed with how easy it was assemble. The SnuzPod’s clever design made
assembly easy and simple.
We also
appreciate the safety feature of attachment straps to secure the SnuzPod safely
to beds when used as a bedside crib. Attaching it to the bed is easy and simple
and this design feature provides peace of mind that it can be safely used as a
beside crib.
We love
how well made the SnuzPod is, with its practical design, and how safe and
sturdy it is.
2 –
Storage space
Thanks to
the clever design of the SnuzPod the underneath is not wasted space as it
features a shelf ideal for storing baby bits and bobs. Having space within the
SnuzPod to store baby essentials is very helpful especially during the night as
I can keep spare nappies and clothes along with other items there to have them
to hand for nappy changes and when an impromptu emergency change of clothes is
needed.
The side rails are also useful for having a blanket or muslin cloths close by.

3 – SnuzPod 3 in 1 design
We love
the fact that the SnuzPod is versatile and that it can also be used 3 different
ways – as a bedside crib, a bassinet and a stand-alone crib.
We mainly
used it as a bedside crib and love it as one. It meets all of our needs as a bedside
crib and thanks to the sturdy, high quality design and attachment straps we
feel reassured that it is safe and secure.
We also love the fact that you can easily remove the bassinet from the stand to use it anywhere around the house for daytime naps. Being able to use it as a bassinet by itself has been very useful for keeping an eye on Jelly Bean when he is napping during the day when I am not in the bedroom. Having the ability to have him napping in the bassinet in the same room as I am in has been very helpful for allowing me to still have quality one-to-one time with Bug but having Jelly Bean nearby. The rocking motion has also come in handy for gently soothing Jelly Bean to sleep.
As we have been using the SnuzPod as a bedside crib nightly we have not really moved it from beside the bed bar moving the bassinet during the day for Jelly Bean’s daytime naps, however we have and love that we can when wanted used it as a stand-alone crib. Removing the crib from the bedside is easy by unclipping the attachment straps and moving it to where desired and adjusting the height of the stand to hole 5 or 6.
Again we love that like the bassinet by itself when used as a stand-alone crib it can be rocked thanks to the rockable stand design which comes in handy for settling baby to sleep.
Whilst it is still awhile away for us I can also see how the stand-alone crib would come in handy to make the transition from parents’ bedroom to baby’s nursery a little easier as the baby could sleep in the crib they are familiar with before moving into a unknown and larger cot or cot bed.

4 – Zip down
side
I love the
see through mesh wall as it allows to me be able to see Jelly Bean as I lay
down in bed next to the crib rather than having to look over the top of the
wall. Being able to watch my beautiful baby boy as he drifts off to dreamland
from the comfort of my own bed is heavenly.
I also love that it is a zip down side allowing me to reach Jelly Bean easier and comfort him without having to get out of bed, allow of which means that I do not disturb Lee as much as I would if I was getting up and out of bed throughout the night to get Jelly Bean out of a moses basket or cot. Being able to reach my baby without having to leave the bed was also helpful during the recovery postnatal period and I can see that it would be ideal for mothers who have had a c-section.
5 – Bedside crib – breastfeeding and co-sleeping

5 – Bedside crib – breastfeeding and co-sleeping
I’ve
already mentioned above that we love the bedside crib design and that we use it
as one nightly however I wanted to talk about this a little more as it really
is the main reason why I love the SnuzPod so much.
I love
that I can satisfy my desire to co-sleep with Jelly Bean without Lee having to
sleep elsewhere as he worries about co-sleeping all together in bed he would
prefer to sleep apart. Thanks to the SnuzPod I get to co-sleep with my baby and
have my man in bed with me still. As Jelly Bean is in his own space the other
side of me against the bed Lee is happy to stay in the bed and see Jelly Bean
and I enjoy the benefits of co-sleeping.
Not only does the SnuzPod allow me to reap the rewards of being close and bonding to my baby by co-sleeping safely it also allows me to breastfeed easily from the comfort of my bed. I can easily reach Jelly Bean for night feeds leaving him in his own space within the crib as I breastfeed him in a side-lying position. Thanks to having a bedside crib there is less disruption and breastfeeding is a lovely and calm experience which is beneficial to Jelly Bean and improves sleeping during the night.
I really cannot tell you exactly how much I love the SnuzPod. I only wish that there was a bigger cot version so that we can continue to co-sleep safely and enjoy the easiness of breastfeeding side by side during the night for longer than 6 months when Jelly Bean will have outgrown the SnuzPod.
