SnüzPod is the award-winning 3 in 1 Bedside Crib that allows you to sleep as close to your baby as possible with the reassurance that they are in their very own safe sleeping space.

What they say:

“Sleep safely, feed easily and be closer with the award-winning SnüzPod 3 in 1 Bedside Crib. SnüzPod features a secure zip-down, breatheable mesh side wall that allows parents to easily see, comfort and feed baby during the night, which can be simply zipped back up allowing them to sleep safely next to their baby.

“The innovative lift off bassinet forms a Moses basket that can be used around the home, ideal for daytime naps and to take away. Then when little one is ready, SnüzPod becomes a stand-alone rocking crib to help with the transition into their nursery.”

 Tested by mum Jessica Molyneux-Spence for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

First of all, the SnüzPod Bedside Crib  looks great. The quality is brilliant and it's easy to put together. It's really easy to take the bassinet off, although it's quite big to cart around on your own. I'd say it's essential to anyone who likes to co-sleep - I can be as close to my baby as he likes but actually have the room to stretch out and get a good night’s sleep myself.

How did this product make your life easier?

I can actually have a good night’s sleep! Usually I'm curled around him or I wake up at a funny angle with aches and pains from subconsciously not daring to move in the night. In the day I can zip up the side and at night, I unzip it and hold my baby's hand while he sleeps. Love it.

Would you choose this product to win?

It looks stylish more stylish than the others, the quality is fantastic and it has three functions.

What changes would you make to this product?

More colours. I'd like it in coral! I can't fault it at all other than that - it's made my bedtimes far better!

Tested by mum Jennifer Jamison for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Love the SnüzPod Bedside Crib. So easy to build. My son didn't not like the moses basket refused to sleep in it. With the SnüzPod I have no problem getting him settled at night.

How did this product make your life easier?

As my wee one wouldn't settle in his basket this is brilliant for me. I also like the rocking movement of the crib as well.

Would you choose this product to win?

For me it is an all round excellent product. I love how it looks I liked that it was so easy to build as well.

What changes would you make to this product?

That the material would be machine washable. As a mother of a 2 year old and a 3 month old baby I don't have much time to stand at my sink and hand wash.

Tested by mum Vicky Clark for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would recommend the SnüzPod Bedside Crib to a fellow mum because I found it to be very aesthetically pleasing, with smooth edges and chunky sturdy wood. The crib and stand have a straight slim design which takes up less space in the bedroom than a traditional Moses basket and stand would. The crib can be paced very close to you with safety stalls provided. I really love the mesh screen side as I didn't have to sit up for every strange noise from the crib.

How did this product make your life easier?

The SnüzPod makes my life easier in few wonderful ways! I love that you can see through the mesh side to check on ”that strange sound" rather than sitting up and leaning over. Then if my baby does need comforting I can zip down the side to give a reassuring pat or lift them out with little effort. Then when comforted gently place them back with little disturbance as an open side means you can slide your arms from under them.

Would you choose this product to win?

I would choose the SnüzPod over others fot the slim, long design which really makes it great to place in a difficult room.

What changes would you make to this product?

If I could change anything it would be the ends to the metal rods that are used to keep the sides up, they are bulky and not aesthetically pleasing. In bedside mode there is only one and it's on the outside of the SnüzPod which is easy to knock into. If could be flush against the wood like the other bolts and would improve the looks and be less of a hazard to the side of my leg.

Tested by mum Marc Spence for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

The SnüzPod Bedside Crib offers a great way to experience co-sleeping without having the worry of keeping your baby in the same bed. Its perfect for being able to comfort our baby when he is upset without having to leave the comfort of the bedroom. It’s easy to set up and of sturdy design so you know your baby will be safe when resting.

How did this product make your life easier?

This product is perfect for feeding the baby during the night. It is really to manoeuver him in and out for feeding time without disruption to my partner. It's also ideal for comforting baby when they are upset as he is an arms reach away. It also provides a safe place to put baby for naptime while other jobs can be done around the house.

Would you choose this product to win?

The design of the SnüzPod is really attractive. It is well built which is reassuring for leaving the baby in overnight, and easy enough to put up by yourself on your own. I am also pleasantly surprised by the little storage area underneath that it offers which is handy for storing a nighttime changing set.

What changes would you make to this product?

There is not much I could really suggest to change about this product. The price is always a concern but it is competitive to others on the market. Potentially the colour of the material could be changed to a pattern or a darker colour. As I imagine the white fabric could show up quite a lot of stains if you have a poorly baby.

Tested by mum Claire Lacovara for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Stunningly beautiful. So many comments from guests whilst it has been downstairs for testing.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Great for sections. The top lifts off easily to move baby to another room.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

It is quite heavy, the side isn't quickly dropped.

Tested by mum Karen Rutherford for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

We loved this, so versatile and easy to feed baby in the night. Ability to co sleep safely and also use as a standalone crib. Looks great in any room.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

I can just roll over and feed baby in the night, the bed straps make me feel safe that the crib isn't going to move away form the be

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Make it a double for twins!

2015  – Cot, Crib, Moses Basket Award!

The SnüzPod  Bedside Crib by Little Green Sheep is a safe alternative to bed-sharing or co-sleeping, without losing any of the benefits. The crib is sturdy but with soft sides (made from organic materials) and a peek-a-boo window. The rocking feature is a fabulous sleep aid and the removable bassinet is useful for daytime naps around the house. The crib is big enough for a three-month-old, with room to spare, but quite pricey for something that will be redundant after 6 months. An amazing product nonetheless.

2015 – Shortlisted for 'Best Sleep Product' Award!

The SnüzPod Bedside Crib by The Little Green Sheep is a must for mums who are breastfeeding and for any parent who wants to feel close to their little one without the dangers associated with co-sleeping. The product is stylish and super comfy but can only be used in conjunction with SnüzPod-specific bedding, which could be construed as a negative, but the linen is lovely and soft, and organic – so who wouldn’t choose it anyway? The cot is lightweight, with a rocking feature, waterproof lining (so no need to worry about leaking nappies) and best of all; a quiet zip! It is, however, expensive (the bedding too), especially for a product that has a six-month shelf life but it is practical and just so convenient. One for twins please!
