3.0 Portable Sleep Pod Baby Blackout Canopy Crib Cover, Sleeping Space for Age 4 Months and Up with Monitor Pouch, Pack n Play Blackout Cover, Baby Travel Essential (Black/Grey)

My son slept better without the pod so we’re returning it

Amazing 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.

Much bigger than I expected, you need a big space to set it up. It’s a cumbersome set up initially, but it’s worth it.

We purchased the SlumberPod for a trip to Disneyland where our family of five all stayed in the same hotel room. Our toddler is used to sleeping in their own room in the pitch black, so we were very happy to find this solution. The SlumberPod worked wonderfully for our toddler. It is advertised as a blackout canopy, and that is exactly what it is. Even when placed next to a window with full sun, this thing is as opaque as a wall. Weve even used it when spending a day up the mountain, and it blocks the sun as well outside as it does inside. The opening for a fan works very well, and the baby monitor sleeve ensures that we can see our toddler while they slumber. The only thing that we did not like about the SlumberPod is that the baby monitor sleeve is made of clear plastic, which means it does not allow for airflow. Our baby monitor has a thermometer, and because it couldnt breathe in the sleeve, the heat generated by the monitor from being plugged in and one gave us inaccurate readings of the temperature inside the SlumberPod. That first night of use, we were very concerned by the nearly 90 degree temperature readings within the Pod, but we quickly realized that the monitor was just overheating in the sleeve and that the fan blowing air into the Pod was actually doing a great job at keeping it cool. I may decide to do some DIY modifications to remedy this problem. Other than that, it is a great product that has our familys stamp of approval.

I would recommend this to any parents who need a dark space for their little’s to nap! My daughter loves it!

We took a ten day road trip stopping in all different locations with my 18 mth old. Such an game changer ! No stress at all as to where or how he would nap! He slept great everywhere and I didn’t have to do my usual blackout shade craziness where I’m trying to make shades on the fly everywhere we went like o had to do with my other two when they were little. Pro tips for parents: do a test run setting it up before you travel. It’s not terribly hard but the first attempt needs some extra time. The tent runs warm so make sure your child is wearing light breathable clothes is the room is 68 or above. My son wore just a short sleeve onesie and a light sleep sack and was still warm with the room temp 68. I cracked the window to make it a lot cooler in the room he slept in since we didn’t do the whole fan attachment thing. Overall fantastic product well worth the price in quality and utility! Just calculate cost per use and you’ll easily see how affordable it becomes.

This thing is amazing if you travel as much as we do. Even just to take to my in-laws house when we visit, it’s so great to have a space where we can put my son that’s guaranteed to be dark. The one con is that the fan doesn’t work unless you rig it so it can get air. The zip pocket for the fan is a smart idea, but the fan itself is too small for it. We had to lift a small area of the side of the slumberpod up on something and didn’t end up using the zip pocket at all because of this.

This worked great, it fit nicely over our pack n play and is dark inside with all the flaps closed. The only issue we had was the fan. The pocket they put in the tent for the fan doesnt hold it up or anything so it gets really poor airflow inside and winds up very muggy with all the doors closed? We ended up just hooking it to the top of the pocket and leaving the zippers open so there was good airflow inside the tent. But the pocket for the fan is not ideal. Otherwise it was awesome, she loves having her own tent and it was awesome for traveling.

I learned about the Slumberpod shortly after my daughter was born but kept holding off because of the price. Our family on both sides live 2-4 hours away so we have travelled frequently since our daughter was born to try to see family regularly, usually sleeping with her pack’n’play crammed next to our bed wherever we’re staying. I used to silently shove my husband whenever he moved around at night for fear of the sound of blankets moving alerting our daughter to us being in the same room (even over the sound machine). When she got big enough to see over the edge of the pack’n’play, though, it was game over: she’d peer over, see me a foot away, and that was the end of sleep— whether 3am or 6am. So I finally bit the bullet and put $200 into this black tent, praying it would be worth it. Holy cow— it was! We used it two weekends back-to-back in different locations as soon as we got it and we all slept until a normal wake time! And our 23 month old loves it. To her, it’s a fun novelty. BUT… I’m very worried it’s short lived because one of the pole pockets was already ripped the first time I used it. I’m praying it holds up before I have to pay another $200. We couldn’t immediately return because of back-to-back family visits and now our return window is closed. Disappointing to have to worry about this already because of a quality issue, especially at this price point. In the end, it’s a life-saver but it’s a luxury item because of price (especially if it doesn’t last). Yes, it’s a pain to assemble because of size (you need space) but it’s easy to move once set up and not difficult to figure out. I’d give it five stars if not for the torn rod pocket and concerns about lasting quality.

So I debated buying the slumber pod for a long time. It’s just too expensive for what it actually is in my opinion! But it does work!! My son slept great in this when we shared a room with him for vacation. It is totally black out. However, it gets very warm and stuffy inside the pod so I’d recommend getting a fan to circulate the air. It also fit perfectly over the graco pack n play.
