What is a Slumberpod?

SlumberPod is a quick-assembly privacy pod that helps babies/toddlers get a good night's sleep and is:

Dark inside — creating an optimum sleep environment

Built with safety in mind — passes applicable consumer product safety tests and more (see Safety below for details)

Bottomless design to enclose travel crib, mini-crib or select toddler cots (see list below)

Quick and easy to set up and disassemble

Made of unique fabric that is breathable (air-permeable) and light-blocking

Outfitted with ventilation windows and pockets for baby monitor, fan, and/or sound machine (see blog for more details)

Is Slumberpod safe?

SlumberPod passes all applicable juvenile product safety tests in the Australia.

We know, however, that parents and caregivers may wish for additional independent assurance and may be concerned by the airflow inside the SlumberPod.

Although the pod was designed (material and design itself) with airflow in mind, we took an extra step to ensure that caregivers’ concerns were addressed. We submitted SlumberPod for an additional, voluntary assessment and expert opinion using advanced test methods. The evaluating doctor (selected by the independent, third-party lab – and not by the SlumberPod team) independently concluded that the product “presents a low hazard” for CO2 rebreathing.

What ages are recommended for SlumberPod?

SlumberPod is recommended for ages 4 months and older. SlumberPod can be used with porta cots and inflatable mattresses for children up to 5 years old.

Can a baby monitor or camera be used with SlumberPod?

There is a zippered pocket that is accessible from the exterior of SlumberPod and has a clear vinyl interior. Some monitor instructions include language regarding placing the monitor camera in an enclosed place. If you no longer have the instructions, please check the monitor company’s website or the paperwork that came with your monitor to be sure
