The Snoo works like this: you swaddle your baby with a Snoo Sack (comes with the Snoo). The result of this collaboration is what Happiest Baby (the company that manufactures the Snoo baby bed) calls “the safest baby bed ever made” and “like a night nurse* for around $7 per night”. Harvey Karp (famous to some parents as the guy whose Happiest Baby on the Block book and videos recommend the “5 S’s” of calming your baby – these are quite effective by the way – and Yves Behar, a renowned industrial designer whose clients include Sodastream, Dyson, and Herman Miller office furniture to name a few. The Snoo bassinet is a collaboration between Dr. Oh and a swaddle and strap system designed to keep your baby from rolling over (on her back is the safest way for a baby to sleep. The Snoo is like an ordinary bassinet (a small crib-like structure that allows your baby to sleep next to your bed for the first 6 months of life) only it’s equipped with sound sensors, wifi, speakers that deliver varying types of white noise, and a robotic motor that rocks your baby at different levels of intensity in response to any noise (from the baby) the sensors detect. Press that covers Apple love to ask hypothetical questions like, “What if Apple designed a refrigerator?” If you’ve wondered something similar about bassinetes or cribs, the answer is, probably something similar to the Snoo bassinet. Just what is a Snoo, and how does it work? To start, here’s our 5-minute video review of the Snoo I meticulously documented all of it and distilled it all down into this Snoo bassinet review. To answer all of these, my daughter Ruby, my wife, and I spent 30 days and nights with the Snoo baby bed. Can I really entrust my newborn child with a robotic night nurse*? Does something as simple as a crib really need to be “revolutionized” by the Internet of Things?.Ok, but does the Snoo work as well as advertised?.In this review, we’ll address these questions and more: We’ll cover stuff like Snoo rentals, does the Snoo actually work?, and answer the big question … is the Snoo worth it?

Then, because you can’t have enough info when thinking about the Snoo, we had a second couple test it out and included their review too (keep scrolling). Syncing is fast - I wish my iPhone synced with iTunes this quickly!Īll in all, it's a very good first offering from the ThinkingRock team.Editor’s note: Fathercraft is reader-supported, meaning, at no cost to you, we may earn a commission if you buy after clicking an affiliate link. Running the sync option in the app provides a place to enter the proper IP address and port (these can be saved in the settings section of the iPhone), and then pressing "Sync data" transfers everything. Clicking the "continue" button starts the server. One runs the iPhone sync plugin in the desktop java version and it announces the machine's IP address and suggested port for syncing. Syncing with the desktop app is simple and fast. I wish more for the ability to sort Do ASAP action items by context or priority, and to search, as these features would make it much easier to work with the task list on the iPhone. Although it would be nice to be able to process thoughts on the iPhone, I still found the process to be convenient, as jotting down thoughts is simple and quick. The app allows one to collect new thoughts, but processing of those thoughts can only be performed after syncing with the desktop program. The iPhone app is a big added benefit, providing portability for one's task list. I've been using the java-based version of ThinkingRock for some time, and I agree with many others that it's the best GTD implementation available.
