Organic Cotton Baby Nest & Infant Lounger - Portable Newborn Dock for 0-12 Months | Safe, Comfortable Floor Seat & Baby Essentials | Perfect for Nursery, Travel & Playtime (Sailboat Design)

Can the TotAha be used without supervision?No.It is important to use the TotAha (as well as any other sleeping aide) safely.It states on the packaging not to leave baby unattended in the TotAha and it is recommended for daytime sleep only.The base of the pod is firm but due to the raised pod borders, it is not considered flat, and this is something that The Lullaby Trust advises against. It is worth reading their advice before purchasing this or any sleep aid.What else can you use the TotAha Superior+ for?The TotAha can also be used as a play nest for little ones. As you can carry it around with you, it makes it very convenient spot to place baby in when you need to put them down (if they will let you!) The soft yet firm base makes it an ideal space for them to relax and watch the world go by.Is it worth buying the mobile arch and toy set?Fellow reviewer Monaz says she thinks so, as it made the product more versatile.I used it as both a gym and a sleeping pod. My baby was happy to lie there on his front or his back for a while playing with the toys and looking around the room,she says.The Toy Arch is suitable until babies are able to pull themselves up,so you’ll likely get around 4 to 6 months of use out of it. My baby is 5 months old and it’s still suitable for him.Is the TotAha Superior+ easy to use?It is very easy to use.You just unzip the bag, take it out and it is ready to go.There is no faffing or messing around like so many baby products,which is a real bonus.There is a strong piece of cardboard under the base which is held in place with a zip pocket. You remove this when you start using the TotAha but hold on to it, as if you want to take it with you on holiday or to someone’s house then pop the cardboard back in and it helps retain its shape.Can you take it travelling?It’s feather light so moving it from room to room is easy. However, as it’s quite thick and padded, it’s not easy to fold down to a small size to take it away on holiday, for example, unless you had a large suitcase or you’re travelling via car. The clear plastic zip-up bag the pod comes in is worth hanging onto, as it keeps it clean and makes it easy to transport it around when on the move. There is a handle woven into the pod making it easy to carry.You can buy a navy transport bag on Amazon separately if you’d like a more stylish version.Did the TotAha Superior+ seem comfortable for your baby?Yes, this is a very comfy piece of equipment. The cotton cover is cool and soft and perfect for babies to snuggle up in. The sides allow babies to feel enclosed and secure.Did it help your baby nap?I found that with my little one, when she was tiny,she only wanted to be held.However, once she fell asleep, I could put her in the TotAha Superior+ and she would stay fast asleep. This didn’t happen if I put her in her crib, where her eyes would snap open immediately then.With the TotAha, she would stay sound asleep… the length would vary of course. There were a few times during the early days when we stayed at one of her grandparents houses. I brought the TotAha along with me and would pop her in it whenever she fell asleep during the day.Fellow reviewer Monaz says In the beginning, our newborn baby Evan would sleep contentedly in the TotAha during the day and friends who were parents were always astonished at how well he’d sleep compared to their babies.As he got older, his naps naturally decreased, but when he was sleeping soundly,he’d stay down for a solid amount of time.Once he outgrew the TotAha,we put him on the cot mattress.We found the quality and duration of his naps really diminished.It did come loose at one handle when I washed it. I sewed it back up. It makes a excellent travel bed for your baby. I’m going to purchase another one for next baby due in JanuaryI really liked this item, my only issue & reason for return was that the item was not properly sewn & threading was coming undone. It is great though, it's sturdy, comfy & bigger than the DockATot. I purchased this one 1st but ended up purchasing a DockATot thinking it be better but honestly I like this one more. DockATot was nicely sewn but it's smaller & a little floppier.I did not have this co-sleeper with my first child, but we got it for our second baby. It is FANTASTIC! All of us sleep so much better ever since we started using it. My husband and I love that we can sleep safely next to our baby and tend to his needs without having to physically get up every single time he wakes up.The baby nest is snug and secure. It literally creates a cocoon-like effect with the use of the clasps. It also is roomy enough at the top, so I do not have to worry about our baby not having enough room to turn his head or breathe comfortably.The nest comes with a to-go bag and a bib, which are really nice add-ons. I will definitely be using the to go bag when we are visiting our family or staying elsewhere. It is very convenient to pack and take with you.Our baby was a little under 7 lbs at birth and this nest offers plenty of room to grow. It is definitely worth the investment. If you think that you might use it only for a month or two because the baby will quickly outgrow it, I am here to tell you - IT IS WORTH getting it for those first couple of month because that's when the baby wakes up most often. It is of super high quality, nicely made and will offer you extra hours of sleep which is priceless! Also TotAha is significantly less expensive than the alternative Dock a Tot, but it works just as good and offers the same benefits.My only wish is that the cover was dryer friendly. Current care instructions reference "hang to dry". This is rather inconvenient and time-consuming if you do not have a replacement cover. I hope that the manufacturer will take it into consideration for future product development.Does not fit in the tadpole Moses bassinet.Was skeptical while buying because of the price. But when we received it, quality is great and it’s amazing how stable it is on bed. Our 3 month old son laying in it very happy, it’s a great fit for him.
