Tetra Snugglebed or similair?

[mummy2aiden]

I've had a look at the tetra snugglebeds and i think that they are way to squishy to put a newborn in. Is it entirely safe? Also does anyone know of similair sorts of things to put in a cot for a newborn baby?

The first years safe and secure sleeper is the only other similair thing i've found and i like it a lot better .. http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/the-...ecure-sleeper/

Has anyone used the tetra snugglebed or know of anything similair? thanx

Yep, we use it for the first 4 or so months. Absolutely loved it. Yes it is snuggly and squishy, and that is why it worked so well for us. We co-sleep however, so he was always right next to me and I was feeding him constantly around the clock so was always able to check on him. If he were in another room, I think I would have been too paranoid of him rolling and something happening. Likewise, if he slept through the night (has never happened!), I would be constantly checking on him. They are good for day sleeps and as a portable bed.

My nephew had one (who is just off 10 now!) and loved it, but when it came to me having a little one I really looked into it and was told by a midwife it wasn't safe and to steer well clear of them, which I did. I got exactly that in the picture!! It was also great that I could take it anywhere as it easily folded so DD always felt as though she was in her own bed.

You can buy them all over the place! All the baby store have them, as well as Kmart, Target etc, but I got mine brand new off ebay. Was a great buy in my oppinion.

we had a tetra snugglebed with DD10.. was fantastic. she was a summer bub, and she would nap in it during the day. we took it with us to my parents that year at christmas (super hot) and she slept in it beautifully. We loved that it was portable, and we could wash the cover as well.

We had a first years safe & secure sleeper. We only used for day naps until DS outgrew it & started rolling. It was great as it was much more comfy for him then being put on the floor or in the pram. He slept much better and we could keep him near us to keep an eye on him. We took it with us when we went out to someone's place. I never used it overnight.

That sounds great! I think I might look at getting one for our next bub.

Is it safe to buy them 2nd hand?
