Not all beds are of equal size, so the manufacturers have ensured there is sufficient flexibility to change the resting height of the SnuzPod. As of November 2020, all bedside cribs manufactured including SnuzPod⁴ need to meet the new crib safety standard BS EN 1130:2019. There is a fabric storage shelf across the bottom of the frame, but I didn’t find this to be very useful as it was so low to the ground, so items were out of immediate reach. The reflux tilt feature really makes this stand out because it’s such a bonus to have something built in to help your baby when they are suffering.

SnüzPod is one of the most recognisable brands in the baby sleep arena, having originally launched in 2013. Travel cots provide some much-needed portability during your child’s first years, as they visit new places or even just different rooms of the house. There was good resistance, my hand left very little impression and it immediately sprung back when I removed my hand. Due to the requirements of the new standard, the reflux tilt feature is tested for use only when SnüzPod⁴ is in standalone mode with the wall up and pole in. As extra peace of mind for parents, this mattress is made with only materials certified to Oeko-Tex 100 Class 1 (Baby), guaranteeing the product against any harmful chemicals or substances.The mesh wall acts as a barrier to stop baby from rolling into the bed, whilst also giving you easy access during the night. Unique surface-level air-flow vents allow air to pass through the crib at the surface level where your baby rests, while an air-permeable mesh liner can be easily unzipped and machine washed to keep things fresh and free from bacteria. There is no standard size in the UK for a travel cot mattress, as size varies greatly depending on the brand. The fabric cover can be sponge cleaned with a mild detergent; we would recommend allowing this to fully air dry. If you source sheets from elsewhere we recommend checking the dimensions of those sheets to ensure that they will fit your mattress correctly.

This alongside some extra straps to secure the SnuzPod tight to the bed ensures there are no gaps in between and baby is kept safe. It is recommended that you do not use the SnuzPod in bedside mode, with the walls down as it’s not safe for sleep. I would say it’s the perfect bed for breastfeeding mums because we can slide our baby over to us for their nightly feeds. This was another top feature of the SnüzPod 4, especially for those early weeks when you’re in the fourth trimester and want your baby as close as possible.When I unboxed it, my initial thoughts were that it looked like there were lots of component parts and bolts. When your baby grows out of it and you want to sell it on, the product should have a decent resale value since SnüzPod is one of the most recognisable brands in baby sleep products. It’s very important to make sure there’s no gap between the crib and your bed, so make sure to follow manufacturer instructions very carefully.

He went off to sleep quickly when in both bedside or standalone modes, and there were no discernible differences in how well he slept in each.

This size can vary depending on the make and model, and this can include variations such as curved corners or bowed edges. If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you should always consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional. As mentioned previously, some online consumer reviews complain about the mattress being thin, but I felt it struck the right balance between firm, in accordance with Lullaby Trust advice on safe sleep, and a very slight spring for comfort. Ensure that the internal dimensions of your furniture are no greater than: 420mm width x 775 mm length. You’ll firstly need plenty of space to lay out all 30 parts – this makes things easier and less intimidating.

During use, always ensure your bedding, sheets, blankets etc do not enter or cover the inside of the crib. The sides can be zipped back up and the pole reinserted to form a standard bassinet for baby to sleep safely in the parents’ same room or in their own nursery. The material of the liner is a 3D mesh, not a foam wadding unlike most traditional bumpers, which are manufactured purely to provide cushioning or protection from limbs poking through cot sides or ends. As of November 2020, all bedside cribs manufactured including SnuzPod4 need to meet the new crib safety standard BS EN 1130:2019. She also found its design practical in that it’s not obstructively big, and that it fits even next to high beds, with a maximum height of 73cm.It’s also a natural defence against dust mites and a natural fire retardant, meaning that our mattresses pass the UK and European Fire Regulation Tests without the need of any chemical fire retardant sprays. It also meets the latest bedside crib safety standards (passing BS EN 1130:2019) and fits taller beds (up to a maximum adult mattress height of 73cm). Your baby has finally greeted you after a long pregnancy, but now they bring a whole new set of problems – lack of sleep!
