3.0 Portable Sleep Pod Baby Blackout Canopy Crib Cover, Sleeping Space for Age 4 Months and Up with Monitor Pouch, Pack n Play Blackout Cover, Baby Travel Essential (Black/Grey)

I dont know that its fair for me to review this item as its such a useful and amazing tool for so many parents but Ill give it a shot. It is wonderful quality, easy to put up, blocks light well- I really cant complain about the product... Except my child is terrified of it. My child who has blackout windows and sleeps in a dark room for bedtime and naps nearly has a panic attack anytime you try to make him go near this tent. We tried getting inside of it and showing him it was okay, or playing with him around it, we just had it sitting innocently in the corner, we attempted to make a game of peekaboo out of it, and NOPE he wants absolutely nothing to do with it. I am at a loss. He is about to outgrow his pack and play and I dont know how we are going to travel with him (hes not even 2 yet) but I dont think that this SlumberPod is going to be a part of the equation, unfortunately. Its pretty expensive if theres no pay-off and for us it doesnt seem like there will be one.

This product does exactly what is says it will do. Complete blackout, easy(ish) to put together, small enough for traveling. Even fits over the actual crib, not just pack & play. A few cons: -Heavy -horrible chemical smell. Even after washing. -scared toddler. Needed to play around in it a few times before attempting a nap again. -the monitor has a slight glare and is very zoomed in due to it being so close to the crib. Overall happy with the product.

My son slept better without the pod so we’re returning it

So far our 7 mo old is sleeping great in it (first time at nap today), but there is a stitching defect as shown in the photos. One of the top sleeves that needs to hold the rod was stitched closed and cannot be used without cutting a hole.

Ugh, I struggled with this thing the first week. We were moving around a lot and I was seriously thinking of returning it. We were in small spaces and the sticks would spread out from corner to corner making it so hard to bend and assemble. This could have all been avoided if there was a simple tips and tricks section in the manual for small spaces. Luckily I found a video on line on how to assemble in small spaces. I wish I would have Googled it early but mostly that the manual had that tip. Now it’s great! We’re still using bc we’re in between places but my husband hates assembling it still. Lol

I originally bought this for a trip where my 14 month old was not going to have his own room. When I told my parents and husband about the slumberpod, they were skeptical at best. They thought it was wholly unnecessary and the baby would be fine sleeping in his pack n play in my room with my husband. Well I bought it anyways because I really wanted a vacation where I did not need to wake up at 6am or earlier with a crying baby. Mind you, I have tried everything under the Sun to get my child to sleep in even until 7am, and nothing worked. Enter the slumberpod. First night in the slumberpod, my child slept until 9am. It was sheer magic and unheard of. Okay, this was the day after travel, maybe he was just over excited being in a new place. Surely this could not last. Man was everyone wrong, I have been using the slumberpod for over a week now. Both on vacation and since we got back in his bedroom. Once again for the first time since becoming a parent I am able to sleep in past 6am. Taking turns with my husband regarding who is getting up with the baby each day have officially ended. Now all three of us get to sleep. I cannot praise this device highly enough. This should be on every parents registry. I am about ready to buy one for every one of my friends with children, my mothers house, and my mother in laws house. This is the best money I have ever spent. With that being said, the only con I can find is that the area where you place the baby monitor is not great, we use a nanit and the thick plastic makes it very hard to see through to the baby. But it is manageable enough if it means that I can get upwards of 12 hours plus of sleep at night if I go to bed when the baby goes to bed. If you’re skeptical, don’t be. It is absolute sorcery the way the slumberpod works.

We travel with our baby a lot and she goes to bed at 7pm. This has been an absolute game changer for hotel rooms. She can sleep and we can walk by her and not wake her. We can have lights on, watch stuff on our iPads, and she’s fine, she actually sleeps better than at home! We were worried with heat being an issue so we got the fan but due to rooms having air conditioning we haven’t needed to use it. If you share a room with your baby, this is a must have!

Much bigger than I expected, you need a big space to set it up. It’s a cumbersome set up initially, but it’s worth it.

This is a must have for traveling parents! We put this over our sons Pack n play and he slept for 10 hours every night! Usually, he sleeps on a few hours when traveling. Be mindful that it could get warm inside if you get the one without the fan. Keep the sides peeled for circulation.

We took a ten day road trip stopping in all different locations with my 18 mth old. Such an game changer ! No stress at all as to where or how he would nap! He slept great everywhere and I didn’t have to do my usual blackout shade craziness where I’m trying to make shades on the fly everywhere we went like o had to do with my other two when they were little. Pro tips for parents: do a test run setting it up before you travel. It’s not terribly hard but the first attempt needs some extra time. The tent runs warm so make sure your child is wearing light breathable clothes is the room is 68 or above. My son wore just a short sleeve onesie and a light sleep sack and was still warm with the room temp 68. I cracked the window to make it a lot cooler in the room he slept in since we didn’t do the whole fan attachment thing. Overall fantastic product well worth the price in quality and utility! Just calculate cost per use and you’ll easily see how affordable it becomes.
