Overall, it does what it promises
We’ve bought the thing when our baby was about 7 months old to try to get at least some hope for a nights sleep, so we initially bought the full pagackage with adapters for the crib.
In our experience, the product does what it promises - it is not a miracle machine that helps your baby sleep through the night, or two hour naps in a day, but it really is a helping hand in rocking the baby back to sleep between the cycles. In the nights when we would wake up 10 or more times, it would save 3-5 standing-ups, just by activation on motion or sound - so, after 7 months of using (and still in progress), I’d say - money well spent!
I’m a light sleeper and I though the vibration sound would annoy me, but, to my surprise, it’s quite okay.
It took us a while to set it up as we wanted - for two sleep deprived parents, I would say that the settings were a bit difficult.
The green light is very bright, so we always cover the machine in a blanket, but the sensors still work fine.
The machine is quite heavy, and that’s okay, but I don’t really like the fastening strap, as it’s difficult my strap with one hand (when, e.g. you have a sleeping child on your hands) and the clicking is also loud.
I read a lot of complaints about the battery life being short, but in my experience it’s good. Of course, if it has to work most of the night it wouldn’t last the whole night, but, on average, it worked fine till morning. Charges up also super fast.
Despite the minuses, I give it 5 stars as I don’t know a better product than this, and for all the times I praised this machine in the night when it rocked my baby back to sleep and I didn’t have to stand up!
