We brought both. The snuggle bed was used twice. It was too big to co-sleep with and ds refused to sleep in his cot. The hammocks I didn't know about til he was 5 months old and we got one then. It was a godsent. It was the first time ds would sleep alone. I would just bounce him to sleep and he would sleep for hours. We bought our's off the same lady as Renstar on ebay for $149. We still have both and the next bub will sleep in whatever she takes to the most. You could always buy both and re-sell the one you don't use.
