We didn’t and decided we would rent one if needed and got lucky with a good sleeper. More doe the college fund. But we were ready to go for it if needed.

You can sell it. There is a pretty active market for them and we kept or kid in it as long as possible.

I had looked into it, but decided to get Dock-a-tot. Best decision ever..

Is it worth buying the Snoo, or just renting it? Also, was it hard for you to ween your child off of it?

Just finished weening a month ago. It was harder on me since the benefit of the Snoo is it holds the baby from flipping over or suffocating. That first week in her crib I kept waking up in the middle of the night and staring at the baby monitor to make sure she was still breathing since she would immediately flip onto her stomach in the crib. But, it wasn’t too bad of a process otherwise.

As for buying 🆚 renting, I went online and did the math (roughly) to calculate the Snoo life, and it seems you should be able to get two children from birth to six months. But that’s all that’s guaranteed. We bought ours and are gifting it to my sister-in-law who is about to have her baby. I don’t expect it will last through my next child. So, I’m going to just rent.

We are waiting for the (hopefully) 40% off Black Friday sale. And will purchase.

Alternatively I could go the lower end route at get everything for like $800. Is that wise? I hear horror stories about low quality and paint chipping from the baby teething on the crib.
