The SnüzPod 4 has arrived in the USA at last, bringing with it the latest bedside bassinet standards to ensure optimum safety and security for your little one as they rest by your side.


But when it comes to ensuring your little one's safety, especially around sleep, there's no such thing as too much research.


We've brought together all the key features that make the SnüzPod4 bassinet such a great choice for new parents looking to keep their baby safe and make parenting just a little bit easier!

Safety First With the SnüzPod4 Bedside Crib


The SnüzPod4 is JPMA-certified and meets bedside crib safety standards. This standard ensures easy access to your baby during the night while also providing a barrier that prevents them from rolling out of the bassinet.


New parents can rest easy knowing that their little ones can snooze safely by their bedside, being certified and tested for having the wall down overnight without having to zip it back up.

How to Practice Safe Sleep With Snüz

Practising safe sleep with the SnüzPod4 is straightforward, thanks to its carefully designed features that align with safe sleep best practices.


1. Always ensure that the firm, flat mattress is well-fitted and dressed with a fitted sheet to eliminate any gaps or bunching where your baby could get stuck. (The SnüzPod4 comes with a specially designed mattress for a perfect fit, and we sell Snüz bedding that fits the mattress perfectly).


2. Make sure your bedside bassinet is positioned correctly alongside your bed. The edge of your baby’s bassinet should be in line with the top of your mattress when the side is down. This means your baby’s mattress will be lower than your bed, so they can’t roll into your bed. The SnüzPod4 allows the bassinet's height to be adjusted so it's level with your bed.


3. To keep your baby safe through the night, always position them on their back when they sleep. Avoid leaving any loose bedding, pillows, or stuffed animals in the crib with them.


4. We recommend keeping the side of your SnüzPod4 up when you’re not in the room with your little one to keep them as safe as possible.
