> 24 hourI purchased this product because I was looking for a way to darken the room for my baby to improve sleep. Seem to work great as soon as we started using it around four weeks of age. My daughters now three months old and we have gotten a solid two months of use. I am happy with my purchase however The material does attract dog hair. Purchased the fan along with the tent and it seems to be well ventilated. I do not worry about her overheating. Looking forward to using this when we go on trips as well. I am able to turn the bedroom light on with her inside the enclosure and she will stay sound asleep

> 24 hourWe have a vacation home and plan for our entire family to all be there at the same time at least once a year. Having 4 new babies born just this year, I am a little concerned about how everyone will sleep since each family will be sharing one bedroom with all their kiddos. When my daughter-in-law showed me this, I looked at other less expensive options but, based on reviews, I decided we should give this one a try. I just purchased one to see what I think before ordering multiples. It arrived today and is perfect. It assembled in minutes and is a definitely a great quality. The fabric has a quality feel, with a nice stretch to it. It fits perfectly over our Babyletto cribs and the portable toddler bed I have, creating a cozy space for kiddos. I cant get over how dark it is inside! Im placing an order for a few more, so each baby has one. Im also adding fans since it does seem like it could get a little stuffy inside without them. I think their parents are definitely going to thank me! I posted pictures to show the pod size next to the Babyletto crib (inside and out) as well as a picture of the portable toddler bed inside the pod. **I will update my review after the babies have tested them out**

> 24 hourThis does WONDERS for keeping the light out and making it possible to share space with a young child while traveling. Ours is 2 years old and weve been using it since they were about 17 months old. Weve used it on several vacations in hotels and visits to other homes. Its easy to become good at assembling/disassembling it quickly and fitting it back into the carrying case it comes with. I would often assemble it, then just lift it up and fit it over the bed in question. Easier than trying to assemble it over the top of the bed. It fits over all port-a-cribs (pack & plays etc) and every crib I encountered, though a couple of those we needed to lean into the fact that the fabric is a bit stretchy (didnt stretch out though!). This is a particularly useful device when traveling in colder weather, as the interior of the slumberpod is about 5 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the space around it. Even with the ventilation windows open. This was a bit of a challenge in summer months when the interior of the slumberpod was pushing 86F. We needed a fan to keep things cool enough for the little one to sleep well, even with a minimum of clothes on.

> 24 hourKudos to the ladies who invented the SlumberPod. I went back and forth on whether or not to buy this because at $150, it seemed expensive. We had an upcoming vacation to Europe, though, and the cost of getting suite hotel rooms that would let our 2 year old daughter go to sleep at her normal 8 pm bed time and not require us to have to adhere to lights off at that time, too, was far more. With our daughter in this and a white noise machine going, she could go to sleep at 8 and we could stay up talking, watching tv (volume on low--no action movies) or reading without issue. If wed just used it on our 10 day vacation, it would have more than paid for itself, but now that weve had a second child who will be bunking in our room with us for the next six months, I dont know how we could live without it. Its game changing. I can put baby #2 down for a nap in complete darkness without losing access to our room. My husband and I can both read in bed at night without fear of waking up the baby. I cant stress how much I love this product. Two notes for those of you who bought it/are thinking of buying it: 1. It says to spot clean it and not to put it in the washing machine. I machine washed it on cold and then assembled it while still damp so that it could air dry. No harm done; the product is good as new. 2. The first time I put this together I had a tough time figuring out how to get the second pole in with the first already in place. The trick is to put the pack-n-play in the fabric before you start putting any of the poles in. When I did this, it was much, much easier to get it assembled. Now I can set this up in under two minutes, every time.

> 24 hourAmazing product. We live in a 2 bedroom and needed the baby to stay in our room for a while. But our room is so light in the afternoons. This product was perfect for us. Made naps/sleeping so much better.

> 24 hourYou’re probably spending more per trip on an Airbnb that has more rooms and you need to try to get your kids to sleep somewhere dark/quiet. An absolute essential for traveling for us. Really well built, doesn’t feel cheap at all. High value!

> 24 hourAll I can say is wow!!! This is the coolest thing Ive ever bought for my kids and I wish I had one for when my daughter was a baby! I was worried about how my new baby would sleep this summer in the trailer with all of us, but Im not worried now! This thing has it all! It came with a mini fan and has a pouch at the top for the fan and another for the baby monitor camera. It has several vents on multiple sides and it is literally pitch black in there! Worth every penny!!!

> 24 hourThis thing is worth the money. It is easy-ish and very quick to set up. Completely dark inside in a room with all the lights on. We thought it might get a little warm inside since the fabric is thick, but it has small vents which you can Velcro in place (pictured) which still keeps it dark but gives some peace of mind with air circulation. It fit nicely in our hotel room over a normal sized pack and play. Toddler was not able to unzip it or tip it over (he didn’t even try to). The only “meh” part of the pod is the zipper pocket for the monitor. It doesn’t work well with with cameras that have cords attached. The camera can only really point in one spot/corner and then moves if you try and zip it closed. It came with a bag to pack it up in and it’s small and light to carry. Overall very happy with this product and well worth the money. We will be able to use it for a long time!

> 24 hourThe slumberpod worked wonders when my husband and I traveled with our 9 month old a few weeks ago! The material is total black out and our daughter slept very well in it! I do highly recommend the fan with it bc our baby monitor has a temperature reading on it and it was approximately 5 degrees warmer in the tent (per the baby monitor) after she was sleeping in it for several hours. Also, we had to cut a hole in the plastic that holds the baby monitor so we could get a good picture. Not a huge deal but maybe plan to set it up and try before you travel so you can have it ready if need be. It was also a little difficult to reach down in the pack n play to pick her up with the slumber pod over it. I am 5’ 9” and she weighs 20 pounds so between my height and her weight the opening just wasn’t quite big enough but overall manageable for a short time!

> 24 hourI debated for weeks if I should get a cheep version of this or the real thing. My kiddos room gets so much daylight in it. Based on the reviewed, I decided to try it out. My kiddo is 12 months old and she has used it once. She seems to really like it. She has no issues going in her tent. I think this is going to be a game changer for vacation!! The tent is great quality. It’s not flimsy junk
