What reviewers say about the SNOO Smart Sleeper
Both whitelisted testers ran genuine hands-on trials. Wirecutter's multi-year test (seven years, nine-plus staffers with newborns) makes the Snoo its top pick, reliably extending infant sleep but polarizing and pricey at ~$1,695. Reviewed ranks it 5th of 6: sturdy and sleek but the priciest model it tested, heavy and unwieldy, concluding cheaper bassinets are the better buy.
