The box arrives with one of those \u201cteam lift\u201d labels, and the label not kidding. Be careful carrying this box around, especially if you\u2019re pregnant.

Parts and boxes are well-labeled, and you\u2019ll find fun baby facts and affirmations sprinkled throughout\u2014a nice touch. Unboxing provides a peek into product quality and aesthetics, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also find that the Cradlewise is heavy for a reason\u2014it\u2019s built with high-quality materials that have a premium feel. It\u2019s also heavy because of how big it is (more in a sec). Finally, it\u2019s a good-looking contraption that\u2019ll fit nicely in a modern nursery (or parents\u2019 room, where the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends your baby sleep for at least the first 6 months).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-unboxing-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A man starts unboxing Cradlewise to reveal a set of provided tools.

It\u2019s kind of like putting together a piece of Ikea furniture, except that the instruction booklet includes written instructions in addition to diagrams. It also makes sense that assembly involves a lot of steps as the assembly for a newborn starts with the crib and then adds the bassinet as an \u201coverlay,\u201d so you\u2019re essentially setting up both the crib and the bassinet (and that baby monitor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One-person assembly is perfectly possible, though there are a couple of steps where two would be nice (one unskilled laborer to hold stuff while the other uses an Allen wrench).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-setup-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark remarked (see what we did there?) that Cradlewise is one of those companies that thinks of everything.

The \u2018bassinet\u2019 is an insert that is placed on top of the assembled crib, and kind of floats, suspended. Why? Your back, friend. Picking up babies from a crib requires bending <em>way<\/em> down. Your baby can use a bassinet until they\u2019ve reached the stage where they might pull themselves up over the side and fall out. Your back will thank Cradlewise for this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This is also helpful for anyone recovering from a c-section. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bouncing. <\/strong>This is where things get interesting.

No need for three separate systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also didn\u2019t feel the need for something like an<a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/owlet-smart-sock-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2428\"> Owlet<\/a>. This preference for a separate monitor is a personal decision for your family, but Marian and I felt we had enough monitoring with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com\/product\/smart-crib?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2429\">Cradlewise system.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safety&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cradlewise doesn\u2019t make any official claims about safety, but I felt like the extra sleep my wife and I got because of the Cradlewise helped prevent accidentally falling asleep in bed with their baby. Of course, there\u2019s no way to know if this would have happened without the Cradlewise, but I enjoyed the extra peace of mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Versatility, longevity &amp; aesthetics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The lifespan of the Cradlewise is a huge plus.

This is also a downside of Snoo, which is designed for the first 4-6 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cradlewise, by contrast, with its <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com\/?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2430\">two-year useful life<\/a>, is a breath of fresh air in this department. And, with the integrated, removable bassinet, you\u2019re getting a bassinet when it\u2019s useful that transitions to a crib in a few minutes when it\u2019s time to make the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, this is undeniably a good-looking piece of baby gear. It\u2019s right at home in the modern nursery (and parents\u2019 room at first).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Quick shameless plug: If you&#8217;re looking for another product with a long lifespan<\/em> <em>and a cool aesthetic, we&#8217;ve got you.

A light.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not that a baby necessarily needs it. But it\u2019s helpful for those middle-of-the-night diaper changes (Cradlewise can do a lot, but it can\u2019t change a diaper).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-price-nbsp\"><strong>Price<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no way around it: <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com\/product\/smart-crib?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2432\">Cradlewise is pricey<\/a> (even at its new, permanently lower price). Even so, in my estimation, a combination of a few things made this worth it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marian and I got more sleep as a result of Cradlewise, period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longevity: Because it\u2019s a bassinet and crib, you could end up using it for a few years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple products in one: You\u2019re not buying a white noise machine and baby monitor on top of the bassinet and crib<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s the ultimate verdict?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cradlewiseverdict\">Our ultimate verdict: Is Cradlewise worth it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on the answers to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re pretty impressed by how hard Cradlewise worked to improve their technology, and our ultimate verdict is a positive one: <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com\/baby-monitor-built-in-tech-smart-crib-bassinet?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2433\">We\u2019d buy this again.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still on the fence about price, here&#8217;s my thought: if you\u2019re going to invest in one pricier baby item, a bassinet or a crib is what I\u2019d recommend. Your baby spends so much time there, it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2434\">worth the investment<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re still undecided beyond that, keep reading. Because this is Fathercraft, and when we review a product, we obsess over it. Here are a few more things that are good to know, plus how the Cradlewise stacked up against the Snoo for us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moreaboutcradlewise\">More good things to know about Cradlewise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we go deep on our reviews here at Fathercraft, here are a few more things you might consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Th further out from your due date you buy Cradlewise, the cheaper it gets.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re considering Cradlewise, the best time to buy is now. Here&#8217;s why: the closer you get to your baby&#8217;s due date, the more expensive Cradlewise gets. This isn&#8217;t some trick Cradlewise is using to get you to buy it, rather if you order further out, it helps them coordinate their supply chain to save money. <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2435\">Check the price calculator here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weight.<\/strong> Cradlewise is very heavy. Especially compared to Snoo. This, of course, makes sense since it\u2019s so much bigger, and not that big a deal unless you think you\u2019re going to move it back and forth for naps and bedtimes or travel with it. This is a p<em>ut it in a spot and move it when it\u2019s time to transition to the nursery<\/em> type of heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moving Cradlewise might require resetting it.<\/strong> According to Cradlewise, you may need to recalibrate your settings when you transition from the bassinet to a crib. Additionally, if you move the bassinet to an area with a different noise level (e.g., from your bedroom to the living room where your family keeps congregating to see the new precious bundle of joy), you will likely need to recalibrate. In between the above-mentioned weight and the recalibration, this is not something you buy for portability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-1024x562.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-1024x562.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-768x421.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-1536x843.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-2048x1124.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cradlewise-calibration-600x329.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cradlewise caused some sort of interference with The Owlet Smart Sock. <\/strong>\u00a0We had a second couple test Cradlewise before Mark and Marian. They used the\u00a0 Owlet Smart Sock and Cam. When their son was in Cradlewise, the Owlet Sock base station had to be moved closer to him to prevent this interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as noted Mark and Marian didn\u2019t use the Owlet and didn\u2019t feel they needed it. So, this is where you insert your family\u2019s unique needs to make a purchasing decision that\u2019s best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cradlewiseprice\">Pricing and where to buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cradlewise has an interesting pricing model\u2014the further out you order it, the cheaper it gets. So, planning ahead saves you money. If you need immediate delivery, the price is $1,749 as of the time of this review. But you can save up to several hundred dollars by <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2436\">ordering up to 6 months in advance<\/a>. (And, worth noting, sometimes immediate stock isn&#8217;t available.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cradlewise is currently only available <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2437\">directly from the Cradlewise website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cradlewisevssnoo\">Cradlewise vs. Snoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Snoo has been around for 7+ years now. And you can tell that the Cradlewise team studied it, and tried to improve on some of the \u201cissues\u201d or shortcomings the Snoo has. <em>Issues<\/em> are in quotes here because some of these, while notable, are actually <em>features<\/em> of the Snoo\u2014yes, it can be annoying to clip your baby in each time, this is exactly what prevents your baby from rolling over. If you ask the folks over at Happiest Baby, they\u2019d undoubtedly tell you their white noise and rocking motions are the best, therefore you don\u2019t need to switch them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, here are some of the things Cradlewise <em>attempts<\/em> to improve upon or change from the Snoo, with varying degrees of success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Snoo has no built-in baby monitor, Cradlewise does&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Snoo has precisely one white noise setting, Cradlweise allows you to change the sound, and even play your own tracks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Snoo uses a back-and-forth rocking motion, Cradlewise uses a bouncing motion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To use Snoo, you need to clip your baby in. Cradlewise, like any normal crib or bassinet, you just place your baby in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Snoo is pretty small, so your baby will grow out of it quickly. Happiest Baby advertises 6 months, Gordy, a bigger baby, grew out of the Snoo in 4.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do Snoo and Cradlewise stack up? Let\u2019s review key differences\u2014we based this on our own testing of the Snoo, Mark and Marian&#8217;s testing of Cradlewise, and a couple who are friends of Fathercraft, Jon and Andrew, who used both Snoo and Cradlewise with their son Gordy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rollover safety.<\/strong> The Snoo is the only baby sleeper product on the market that\u2019s designed to physically prevent your baby from rolling from her back to her front. Therefore, it\u2019s the gold standard (and, quite literally received FDA De Novo approval for safely keeping sleeping babies on their backs). Kinda hard to beat that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though, as many billions of babies have been kept safe the old-fashioned way\u2014by being placed on their back to sleep with a firm mattress, fitted crib sheets, and a crib free of toys and blankets, it\u2019s worth noting for the many parents that can afford neither the Snoo nor any other smart bassinet that doing these things is safely putting your baby to sleep. Cradlewise is in that regard like a traditional crib\u2014it uses a firm mattress, fitted sheets, and breathable mesh sides to keep your baby safe when sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that said, Jon and Andrew said they felt safer when Gordy was sleeping in the Snoo, especially when he started trying to roll from back to front. Mark and Marian were satisfied with the Cradlewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ease of putting your baby in and taking him out.<\/strong> Edge also goes to Cradlewise here. There\u2019s no clipping in (again, note Snoo\u2019s clipping is a feature). But also, Cradlewise is literally both taller (in bassinet mode) and bigger. With the Snoo, especially if your baby falls asleep in your arms, guiding him into the Snoo can feel like a high-stakes game of operation. With Cradlewise, your target is bigger and your back will thank you for less bending over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ease of cleaning.<\/strong> Cradlewise has the edge here\u2014its mesh sides are removable (though that takes some doing), so in the event of a disaster (yes, you may experience projectile vomiting as a parent, exorcism not required), you can wash all the pieces of Cradlewise more thoroughly, vs the Snoo, which requires spot cleaning for the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>White noise flexibility and options. <\/strong>Again, Cradlwise wins here \u2014 white noise volume is adjustable, you can choose from several options (including playing your own music through its speakers). Again, we\u2019d call out that the makers of Snoo are pretty confident they\u2019ve developed the world\u2019s best white noise option for babies, but that\u2019s up to you to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sleep tracking reliability.<\/strong>&nbsp;Both Snoo and Cradlewise claim to be able to track the amount your baby sleeps. And, at least in Gordy\u2019s case, both were wildly inaccurate. Jon and Andrew found their <a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/owlet-smart-sock-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2438\">Owlet baby monitor<\/a> to be much more accurate in this department. Mark and Marian reported that the Cradlewise would sometimes start tracking sleep a bit earlier than when Henry actually fell asleep, but they weren\u2019t bothered by this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read (and watch) our full <a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/30-day-trial-review-snoo-1200-robotic-bassinet\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2439\">Snoo bass<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/30-day-trial-review-snoo-1200-robotic-bassinet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2440\">i<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/30-day-trial-review-snoo-1200-robotic-bassinet\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2441\">net review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, if you&#8217;re interested in what Cradlewise has to say on the matter, <a href=\"https:\/\/cradlewise.com\/compare?aff=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2442\">here&#8217;s how they compare themselves to other smart bassinets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall lesson? All babies are different. Snoo and Cradlewise technology both had a hard time tracking Gordy\u2019s (Jon and Andrew\u2019s baby) sleep. But Mark and Marian have had an easier time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-are-cradlewise-competitors\">Who are Cradlewise competitors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Snoo is Cradlewise\u2019s most well-known competitor, others include the Halo BassiNest, the Graco Sense2Snooze, and the 4Moms Mamaroo Sleep bassinet. We\u2019d note these others are quite a bit less expensive, and not on par with either Cradlewise or Snoo from a features or a build quality perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrappingupcw\">Wrapping up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn\u2019t kidding when I say we go deep on baby gear reviews \ud83d\ude42 Hopefully, that was helpful as you think about your baby\u2019s futuristic sleeping arrangements.
