Second, the baby monitor could be of higher quality. Certainly not a deal-breaker and it can accomplish your basic monitoring needs without issue, but don't expect the visual quality of a high-end baby monitor (like the Nanit or Infant Optics). The power of this baby monitor is really in its integration into the crib and its smart features. Sometimes it is difficult to bring such a lofty concept to fruition, but Cradlewise has managed to combine beauty, smarts, versatility, and practical functionality into a smart crib and bassinet combination. For us, that makes it one of the most comfortable and comforting cribs on the market! More on those smart features later. The Cradlewise Smart Crib has a ton of excellent features that even the best bassinets and cribs would be proud of.The mattress is about 38" long, so until your child is over about 36" in height, they will likely be perfectly comfortable in this crib.

One of the unique aspects of the Cradlewise, especially relative to the SNOO or Mamaroo, is its ability to transition from a bassinet to a mini crib.

The only downfall is that the baby monitor quality isn't quite on par with other models. The quality isn't poor by any means, but it certainly could be better, for both daytime and night vision. Overall, we think the smart features are truly smart but also very well executed with the Cradlewise. Everything works reliably and effortlessly, transitions are smooth, and the crib does a great job soothing your baby asleep.

Mirrorless cameras are generally smaller and lighter than DSLRs because they do not have a mirror mechanism. This can make them more portable and easier to carry around. 3. Autofocus Our overall impressions were extremely positive, and for those doing comparison shopping, we think Cradlewise is a better overall option than SNOO.

In comparison to other smart bassinets and smart cribs on the market, to our knowledge, no other product has this level of versatility and richness of features. Cradlewise Assembly This will make caring for your little one easier during naps and overnight sleep. However, once your baby begins to roll over or otherwise shows increasing mobility, it's time to transition to crib mode.

This gives you a Full HD view of your little one no matter where they wriggle and find themselves in the middle of the night. We also think that the Cradlewise benefits extend to its comparison to other major smart bassinets including the 4Moms Mamaroo and Graco Sense2Snooze. Overall ConclusionsThey're a bit of an eyesore, but we do realize they're also a necessary (and sometimes lifesaving) feature. Our biggest gripe with the Cradlewise is that it arrives in a single massive cardboard box that weighs about 70 pounds. It's awkwardly large and heavy, and we wish Cradlewise had divided the shipment up into a few separate boxes (like is done with Nestig cribs). While we did find some minor inconveniences with the Cradlewise, we think that it is an obvious solution to a serious challenge: getting your baby to fall asleep and stay asleep for longer! Once you conquer this process, the next step is to plug in the power adapter. The cord is about 6 feet long, so be sure to position the crib close enough to a wall outlet.
