I think they are both free returns from Amazon - maybe order both and send back the one you like less? I ordered the snuggle me, realized quickly my LO didn't like it (no reason in particular, it just wasn't to his taste), and it was free returns so didn't have to pay to ship it back...

I’m using the dock a tot. I don’t think I would have spent the $$$ myself but I had some gift cards to Nordstrom. My son just started sleeping again in it (he’s 11 weeks). It was great in the very early days as a safe place to put him down. Then he didn’t love sleeping flat so it became an expensive cat bed. Now I’ve transitined him back to the crib from the rock n play/swing (but at an incline) and the dock helpsnto create a cosy environment. He’s sleeping well at night in it.

Just read the description of the Snuggle Me and the center is not padded to take on the firmness of the surface you use it on. No. That means you put it on the floor and it’s stiff and hard as a plank.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I Haven’t seen one in person, that’s just how I’ve seen it described. Maybe someone who’s used it can weigh in?

I will say I just saw a dock a tot in person/in use and I don’t really get it. It doesn’t seem like there’s much to it but also doesn’t really seem safe for sleeping? With the padded sides?

They all scare me and look like SIDS nests! Please don’t let babies sleep in them without someone watching like a hawk. /off soap box now.

@mrsbubbletea: @mrsbubbletea: True, I would imagine that suffocation is the biggest risk in these sleep cushions. There are some theories regarding rebreathing CO2 and such for SIDS that the whole thing just makes me nervous. But good clarifying point.

@CatchAFallingStar: I use the dockatot and I was posting that above cause I just wanted to clarify. I don’t see how my swaddled baby could suffocate in this, she’s like 6 inches away from me in the cosleeper and she can’t roll, especially not when swaddled! It’s safer than in my bed with a rolling 3 yo!

@Mrs. Peas: Do/did you put the dock a tot in your baby's crib for sleeping at night? Im about to transition my 5 month old to a crib and was curious about the dock a tot. (I'm also worried about suffocation, though!)

I don’t know about the dock a tot but I say just put her in the crib cold turkey! Our LO did wake up when rolling for a few days, but we just put her back on her back a couple of times per night. If it got to be more than that, we let her figure it out and she never cried more than a minute or two. Then a couple weeks later she started sleeping on her stomach and is an amazing sleeper!

@JJ2626: That is exactly what we did for our second son. @agold: I vote cold turkey too. The first few nights will be rough but it will be so much better when she is sleeping in her crib. I wouldn't use the dock a tot now that she is rolling.
