Hi

If you have used one of these which one did you go for and how would you rate it?

Snuzpod is great.

Ds was 8lb 8. He fitted in the next to me until over 6 months, but we had to stop using it overnight at 4.5 months as he was already sitting up and crawling!
Then moved it downstairs and used another 2 months for daytime naps next to sofa with us watching so we could check it didn’t launch himself over the top

We have the next 2 me Dream, which isn't a true co sleeper as you have the lowered side between you and the baby. I like this as it means I don't worry about my covers etc but they're still right there and I can put my hand on the tummy etc.

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE - ours were 9lb 7 and 9lb 12. We moved them at 7 and 6 months. Both had a little growing room yet, but we're slow to roll and sit, if you had an early roller I don't think you'd get a as long out of it.

@afinethingindeed I don't have time to do this, but I think if you look up the mattress length of the current Snuzpod and look up a growth chart showing the 95th percentile for length at 4 months, even a large 4 month old will fit in the Snuzpod without difficulty. Happy to be corrected but I don't know any 75 cm 4 month olds! Sometimes people say their baby outgrew something when they meant stopped sleeping comfortably in it (maybe because their arms can now reach the sides when they flail them for example) and there are no guarantees for that with any baby.

@RyvitaBrevis thanks so much! That makes sense. Mumsnet can be wonderful but it can also make me question everything!
