Here’s a breakdown to help you choose the best one for your needs. If a baby lounger like the DockATot or the SnuggleMe is in your future for baby snuggles, you’ll want to consider the different pros and cons. But as sweet as those moments were, there were also many times I felt completely touched out and yearned to be able to put my baby down so I could go to the bathroom alone (what a luxury!). I loved cuddling my babies in those early newborn days when they wanted to be nowhere else but in my arms. There are many different baby loungers out there to choose from, but the most popular brands to compare are DockATot vs SnuggleMe. It feels like with one too many times of transporting it around the house that it might break.Īlso, while the sides feel properly plush and cushioned, I’d like to see the base have a bit more depth to it for extra comfort.A baby lounger can be a lifesaver, offering a safe place for your baby to rest or play while providing the comfort and warmth of being held.

It would be great if it was updated to feel more sturdy to carry the weight of this particular dock. What changes would you make to this product?ĭefinitely the side handle design. And although perhaps not as plush, these are half the price of the Grand Dock. In comparison to what's out there on the market, you are once again spoilt for choice with plenty of variations, called toddler nests or toddler pods, to choose from. The designs are beautiful and the cushioned sides provide much comfort. This is a plush piece of kit for your toddler and is well made (excluding the handle) so you know it will last forever. Would you choose this product above all others on the market? So if you can afford it, or you can pop it on a baby shower gift wish list for a family or friend to treat you, then we recommend. It does come with a thin, clear case so you can at least protect the cover if you need to bung it in the boot of your car. In fact, for that price tag, it is a shame DockATot don’t supply a decent carry bag to transport the dock when you do want to travel with it in tow. Now if I step out of my dreamy, Grand Dock bubble, there is a lot more I can do with that money, than spend it on 1 item. It’s got a handle on the side to carry around the house, although I usually steer clear of using it as the weight of the Grand Dock feels like it might break it. The design is beautiful (we have the Willow Boughs) and from 18 others to choose from you’re spoilt for choice. Would you recommend this to other parents? It’s genuinely a lovely addition to our home. It just feels like there’s plenty of ways you can utilise the dock without trying. Fair enough I’m only small, but for a decent-sized adult (5ft 3in) and a toddler around half my size, we fit in the Grand Dock together nice and snug. Other ways it’s kept my toddler happy is when we’ve both sat in the dock and played with his dinosaurs or read books together in it. Enter a world where there’s a Grand Dock about and my toddler ends up napping, while I sit on the sofa next to him, in the dock! Hurrah. Comfortable, happy and well rested (and that’s not just my toddler). Up until its arrival, my toddler hadn’t napped anywhere else in the house, but his room. It’s 50 per cent wider than the DockATot’s we’re used to ( The Deluxe+ Dock for 0-9 months) and has become a saviour during the months and months of lockdown.

How did this product make your life easier?įrom the moment this dock landed in our house, we all wanted to lounge in it. Plus, it comes in 19 different designs! Woah. Suitable for 9-36+ months, this dock is great for moving around the house or taking travelling for your tot to lounge in. It’s a multitasking, stage 2 dock from the formerly known Swedish brand, Sleepyhead.
