1/11/2024 0 Comments Sleepyhead cover![]() As we explain in our full investigation into safety concerns about baby pods and nests, these products are relatively new on the market and there ihas been no specific research into the use of pods and nests as a sleep product. In 2018, The Lullaby Trust issued a statement warning parents against using baby pods and nests for sleeping because they don’t meet safer sleeping guidelines – due to their raised side bumpers. Is the DockATot Deluxe+ safe to use for naps and overnight sleep?ĭockATot states clearly on all their messaging that the product is now designed only to be used as a resting station for babies under careful supervision, and is not a sleeping product. Dockatot has made it clear to only use under supervision and not as a sleeping aid. ![]() ![]() Never use in a crib or bassinet or other contained area”. Unlike the original Sleepyhead, the Dockatot comes with a warning on the packaging as well as the website “not for use in crib. There are a few differences on the plastic cover and the writing on the cover. Aside from the embroidered branding on the side of the product and on the label, the two are almost identical. If you were to look at a Sleepyhead and compare it side by side with the DockATot Deluxe+, you really wouldn’t notice any big differences. They can relax in comfort while you keep a watchful eye over them. With the DockATot Deluxe+, you can confidently put your baby down safely if you need to have your hands free. While the product is the same, it’s now recommended as a lounging product, designed to provide a safe and comfortable place to literally “dock” your baby. The Sleepyhead (which has always been called the DockATot in the USA) had a rebrand at the end of 2020. In short, it really isn’t very different at all. How is the DockATot Deluxe+ different from the Sleepyhead Deluxe? Make sure you remove this before putting your baby on the Dock, although I recommend holding onto it as it’s handy for helping it keep its shape if in storage or for travelling. The Dock comes with a firm cardboard insert to protect the base. On the back of the cover, it features the safety elements and features of the DockATot Deluxe+, but it would be handy if it also came with a “do’s and don’ts” guide (although you can find this on the website). The packaging tells you that the product is already pre-washed, so you don’t need to throw the cover in the washing machine before placing your baby in it. You simply take it out from its cover, remove the insert and it’s ready to go. There aren’t really any instructions to follow when it comes to using the Dock. I found the nest-like bumpers to be firm but plush, and the base, once the cardboard insert is removed, to be firm but comfortable. I had read that the cord fabric of the model I tried can be rough against baby’s skin, but I didn’t find this. The Dock is very soft and made from 100% breathable cotton (compliant with BS4578 for air permeability) and the chunky zips are baby and toddler-proof. If you ever wanted to give your Dock a style swap, you can purchase individual spare Deluxe+ covers, which cost from £75. The Dock is available in a huge array of the most beautiful prints, including a gorgeous new William Morris collection.
