Hi everyone. I hope this video helps if you are looking at bedside cribs! Any questions just let me know 💞. Heres my nappy hacks if you’d like to watch: th-cam.com/video/H-JZ8vv6I_A/w-d-xo.html
@@xAshx1989 hi Ash. We didn’t put it in when we built it, but I think it should undo from each end on the wooden frame. Then slide it out of the material side xx
@@HelenGraceC thank you I'll give it a go. Ours is 2nd hand so it's just come with it in and the online instructions are a bit much for me at the moment. Thank you for tips in video x
Such a helpful review, thank you!! After using a wicker Moses basket next to the bed with my first child, and finding that very clunky and hard to maneuver a tiny baby from when shattered, I decided I definitely want some kind of co sleeping crib this second time around. This has helped so much!
Hi Katy! Ah you are very welcome. I’m so glad it was useful!! Sorry for my late reply but thank you for watching. Hope you enjoy your new crib when baby arrives ❤️ xx
Great review. I really wish we would of bought one of these when my son was born. I actually don't know why we didn't! That's great that it has a way to tilt for reflux. Our Dr advised us to tilt our cot by putting books underneath so this would of been much better. xx
I’ve just got this well the snuzpod 4 but I find the mattress soo thin that you can feel the middle support bar underneath seems like it would be very uncomfortable
I just got this and just wondering do you need a cot or moses basket as well? Wasn't sure what to do for my spare room for baby when the baby does grow x
Hi Alice! So yes wheh baby gets too big for this, you’ll need a cot. When they are small though, some people have Moses basket for naps downstairs. We had a poddle pod which doesn’t exist any more or he’d nap on me! Hope that helps lol xx
Thank you for the video! We are considering getting one of these, my only question/concern is if it rocks too much when baby moves? I have seen you can use the straps to attach it to your bed, but I’d love to hear your experience with it!
Hi Katie! So sorry for the slow reply. When it is strapped to bed it doesn’t rock at all! Sorry I can’t remember if there’s something else to stop it rocking. But yes how we had it it wasn’t rock-able 😁😁. Hope that helps?! Lol. Thank you for watching! Good luck!! Xxz
Hey gorgeous! I’m back to watch some more of your great content! Oh wow! That looks like a cute comfy crib! It’s beautiful! I bed baby loves it 🥰💕💕 Fantastic review 👍🏽 Just joined your lovely fam too. Here to stay 💕
Hello, I just wondered if it's safe to have the side down all the time when you are sleeping? I've been offered this crib secondhand but have worries that the baby might roll around and I might squish him (it's my first baby so I don't really know!) Thanks
Hi Maddie, aw no problem! So Arthur always slept on the mattress of the cot, I couldn't roll into him because the frame of the crib would get in the way. As for him rolling, he didn't roll for a good few months, but even then it would be just on to his side and back to his back (without moving across)!! So it would definitely be safe in those terms... every baby is different but it took Arthur a long time to roll enough so he would be out of the snuzpod (it never happened!). I hope that helps? And congratulations and good luck!! Thank you for watching xxx
If you go on the Snuz website the new version (Snuzpod 4) actually has a barrier between the crib and the mattress. The reason for this is that the new crib safety standard (BS EN 1130:2019) means that all bedside cribs manufactured after November 2020 need to have a 12cm barrier to prevent baby rolling out in to the bed.
hi! Yes you could do this but that wouldn’t have worked for our bed, because there was a dip and a little gap between our mattress and the snuzpod mattress if that makes sense!! xx
when your baby was newborn did you sleep with the sides down as i’m confused on some as the say one you put baby back in put side back up but i thought the point was to keep it down until they can roll x
Hi Kandy, Hm yes someone commented a while ago that the advice changed about this. I did keep the side down the whole time and slept on the side. I think the worry is them rolling and you rolling on them? Arthur didn't roll for months! xx
Hi Helen, I was curious to know if you used the lift away feature at all to provide him somewhere to sleep downstairs in the daytime? I am trying to decide which crib to go for and then what to have downstairs and liked that the snuzpod could be lifted off, but didn't know if it might get a bit tiresome to do that everyday.
Hi Christina! I didn’t do that, you for sure could, but our front room is too small really, but it would have been effort too lol we actually used a poddle pod - they don’t seem to sell them any more, or he’d nap on me! The snuzpod isn’t heavy as such so it is possible to bring it down. It’s so hard deciding what to do I know!! Xx
@@HelenGraceC hi Helen, haha yes I did buy it. My little girl is 3 months old today. We do use the snuzpod but she also sleeps in my bed due to issues with her breathing, sleep apnea, and reflux. I would recommend the snuz to anyone as it’s a really good bedside crib.
@@Moyrom81 aww congratulations 💗💗💗. Ahh bless her, Arthur’s in our bed all the time now! Hope the reflux etc improves soon. It’s a great crib, pleased you like it! Xxx
Hi Helen, I was just wondering if your snuzpod came with straps to attach to your bed? If so did you use them or did you feel it was fine/safe to just have the pod lined up against your bed? I have just put together a snuzpod4, appreciate this is a review of the 3 so am not certain if that one also came with them, but am wondering if they are provided as optional or a necessity. They're kind of the last thing remaining after building but look like a pain to attach correctly! Thanks.
Hi Peter, sorry for a slow reply! We did have straps - they weren’t ever that great but I do admit they were better than nothing! I recall we had to keep tightening them! Xx
Alyssa Ritchie Hi Alyssa, Arthur’s only started properly breastfeeding at 5 months so hard to say..hmm I guess you could, might be bit tricky to get close enough kinda thing?! Lol be worth a shot! But could slide baby out easily enough 😊. Thank you for watching!! 💞 xx
I filmed this after 6 months of using it...when we set it up I didn’t know I’d be doing a video if that makes sense! I hope it’s still useful though as a review xx
@@HelenGraceC this was a very useful video ... I'd much prefer to see a review of something that has been used for 5 months to hear your actual experience. Thank you for taking the time to film! ☺️

Kate Ababyaflatandafiat aww really, I really love using it! Ahh yes it’s really good it’s got that option! Xx
We bought it assemble it n now seeing your review for how to use it 😊
Hi Ayesha! Aw yay I hope you enjoy using it!! Thank you so much for watching xx
I’ve just got this well the snuzpod 4 but I find the mattress soo thin that you can feel the middle support bar underneath seems like it would be very uncomfortable
Hi Emily. I remember the mattress was thin but I think that’s typical of these cribs! I’m not sure if I could feel anything underneath though! Xz
Thank you, great review and thanks for the sheet suggestions!

I would definitely recommend it, it’s been really great ❤️Xx
thanks for the video! Is the mattress organic?
You are very welcome! Hm I don’t recall that it was so I reckon no!! X
You don't need to sleep on the side panel. Put it down to the floor before attaching it to the bed.
hi! Yes you could do this but that wouldn’t have worked for our bed, because there was a dip and a little gap between our mattress and the snuzpod mattress if that makes sense!! xx

Hello, do you have the link to get the fitted sheet ? Thanks 😊
Hélène Lemarchand ooh yes I will pop it in the description tomorrow - sorry just got back from holiday and totally forgot to add it!!! Xx
Hi Helene I’ve just added the link to the description!! Thank you xx
Hi! Have you used the rocking feature at all?
Hi Iris! No we never did, I think because once it’s attached to the bed you can’t rock it! Xx

Looks really good.Check on our videos on how we make rattan bassinets.
Hi Helen, I wonder if you breastfeed lying down next to the Snoozepod--in other words you don't necessarily have to lift baby out to feed?
Alyssa Ritchie Hi Alyssa, Arthur’s only started properly breastfeeding at 5 months so hard to say..hmm I guess you could, might be bit tricky to get close enough kinda thing?! Lol be worth a shot! But could slide baby out easily enough 😊. Thank you for watching!! 💞 xx
