Why I LOVE SlumberPod
When I find a parent hack or product that is a game-changer in the mamahood, I have to share the love.
If you are a mama that prefers to be outside of the house more than in, then this product is for you. As a parent who has done three maternity leaves (thank you, Canada!) and has a husband who also runs his own company, I found that staying inside day after day made me feel trapped and listless. I didn’t know how to do naps-on-the-go well. Cue my saving grace: the SlumberPod.
Here is why I love the SlumberPod and would recommend investing in one for your family:
It is made to travel with.
You won’t be pulling any muscles with this lightweight baby
The set up is obvious … if you forget to bring the directions, you’re not hooped
It fits directly on top of most pack and plays (it has no bottom, so you simply lift and place)
It is washable! Whether on a campsite, beach, or your neighbour’s backyard, you can rest-easy knowing that dirt and stains will not ruin your SlumberPod
It helps facilitate excellent sleep.
Regardless of where you park your SlumberPod (in the bright sunshine, or at a fireworks show), it is completely blacked out on the inside
There is a fan insert (fan available for additional purchase; I highly recommend it). The fan acts as white noise to help block out sounds, keep baby cool, and get them on their journey to sleep
It has safety features.
The fabric is breathable
There is a peekaboo window so that you can check on baby and get a feel for the temperature inside of the SlumberPod
There is a fan insert and the website has fans for an additional purchase. I would say it is a necessary purchase as the SlumberPod can overheat without extra airflow.
It can be used indoors too.
I always struggled to get my babies napping during family celebrations. It’s tough to blackout windows in other people’s homes. Last Christmas, I simply popped the SlumberPod overtop of my little one’s pack and play, and she slept like a dream.
If your family is travelling and sharing a hotel room, this will be a familiar environment for baby to … well, sleep like a baby in. No more awful nights of baby waking and worrying about where they are.
Want to have a coffee date with a friend during naptime? No problem! Pop the SlumberPod into a free space and baby can sleep sweetly while you sip on your beverage and soak in that life-giving connection time.
The drawbacks to the product?
You need some space to set it up (just like you would with a small tent)
It takes 5-10 mins to assemble … set it up before you start seeing baby’s sleep cues
Keep it out of reach of children.
I LOVE this product and use it weekly. It has made such a difference in my mental health and ability to have small and grand adventures. Don’t just take my word for it, though - check it out for yourself at https://www.slumberpod.ca/ or find them on Instagram at @slumberpod.
Enjoy your freedom,
