The SnuzPod 4 is the gift new parents often hope someone will club together to buy. It works as a bedside crib — the ClipAir mesh side unzips and drops so the crib sits level and flush against an adult bed for easy night access — or as a freestanding standalone crib once you move it away. It also offers a slight incline setting, and the breathable base and mesh sides are designed to aid airflow. It suits birth to around six months, or until baby can push up on hands and knees. The price is steep for a single gift, which is exactly why it works so well as a joint present from family.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Zip-down side brings baby to arm's reach for calmer, quicker night feeds
  • Converts from bedside mode to a freestanding standalone crib
  • Incline setting and airflow-focused design suit newborns well

Cons

  • Expensive for one person to buy alone — better as a group gift
  • Only used for roughly the first six months before baby outgrows it
