The verdict
Yes, it's a lot of money. It also, for many families, works: the SNOO detects fussing and responds with motion and white noise, and its built-in swaddle clips keep the baby on their back all night, which is a real safety win. Rent it monthly if buying stings. It won't fix every sleep problem and weaning off the motion takes a plan, but no other bassinet does what this does.
