SlumberPod The Original Blackout Sleep Tent Travel Essential for Babies and Toddlers

We purchased the SlumberPod for travelling with our toddler and it has been one of the most useful sleep products we've bought. It creates a dark sleep environment even in bright hotel rooms, family homes and shared accommodation, helping maintain familiar sleep routines when away from home. It packs down surprisingly small and becomes much easier to set up after a couple of uses. Pros: • Creates an effective blackout sleep environment • Excellent for travel, holidays and room sharing • Helped maintain normal sleep routines away from home • Packs down relatively compact for storage and transport • Good quality materials and construction Cons: • Initial setup can take a little practice • Takes up some space in luggage • Premium price compared to simpler blackout solutions Overall, a fantastic travel product for families who prioritise sleep. It has made travelling with a toddler significantly easier and has been well worth the investment for us.

What a stroke of genius! No longer are we worrying about using tin foil on windows or crap “travel blackout blinds” that don’t work…. This creates a cosy little zone for your little one and our baby settled in it within minutes thanks to the blackout it provides (even in a bright room at nanny & granddad’s). Love the pouches for the fan and the monitor. Only criticism is that because the monitor pocket is made of plastic, it clouds the view from the monitor but not so much that you can’t see anything… it’s just not as clear… but this is a price I’m willing to pay for the blackout quality and stress this takes away when travelling! Folds down nicely and is easy to put up (though would advise finding a large area to assemble it in as the poles are long and easy to catch on a wall in a smaller space 😝)

Very easy to put together and dismantle. Keeps the cot space dark.

Worked for a few weeks but a pole has now broken. Can't see how to contact the seller re replacement or refund

If you want a product that is going to change your life buy this. We traveled for 5 weeks with my toddler and she slept through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I didn’t have to worry about light at the hotels and Airbnbs, we just popped her into her cot and zipped it up! She was happy and so were we! It takes about 5 minutes to set up but very quick to pack down.

Vale completamente la pena , yo lo use con cuna y con colchón inflable y me ha sido súper útil. Pro tip, meto el white noise y mi bebé duerme perfecto sin luz y aislado de ruido también

Bought for our son and daughter in laws first baby. It is perfect for putting the baby down for naps, or bedtime when the room is still bright. They live in a tiny apartment and have the baby in a multi- use room. They are planning to add the fan attachment for better air circulation. It is easy to put up and take down. They take it everywhere! They love this product and have recommended it to all of their friends with babies.

We were originally skeptical this would work for our almost 1 year old for our trip, but it worked like a charm! He slept like he was at home. Two things that we weren’t anticipating: 1. The pocket that holds the camera is clear plastic and some mesh material on the sides - we had to flatten out the plastic to get a clear picture with the camera which took quite a bit of time but in the end worked out. 2. This thing is thick material and does block out all light, but as you can imagine it’s not breathable. We didn’t get the fan with this purchase but kind of wishing we had as it got warm inside the tent. We had a floor fan that we stuck under the tent so cooler air was circulating (did let some light in) but wondering if the fan that comes with the tent would’ve been a better option to keep it cooler. Overall, super happy with the product. If you’re on the fence on whether or not to spend the money, recommend you go for it. A well slept baby is worth its weight in gold. Note: this fit our 4Moms Breeze Plus Portable Playard.

UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER: We have zero regrets with this purchase. My husband was 1000% annoyed with me purchasing this and over this last year has happily admitted he is super grateful I didn’t listen to him and just bit the bullet and purchased this and the hiccapop toddsler bed air mattress. We have had to use this pod while camping, moving across the country in squishy hotel rooms, flying back across the country to visit family, rearrange sleeping areas to accommodate guests, EVEN ON THE BEACH for nap time with the waves as nature’s white noise machine and it has come in clutch every time! We used it for four weeks straight just a month ago and this time with our kids nugget cushions. It stretched over those suckers like magic and when we put it away, it bounced back to retain its shape and wasn’t stretched out! Our toddler is much bigger and much more active than he was a year ago when we first bought this and I’m shocked how tough the zipper is with how much he and my older kids jump in and out of it and land on the open doorway and open and close the zipper. That price tag is still a major con for anyone living on a budget, but if you can make payments on it or find a used one, you won’t regret it!!! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• High five to Amazon for getting this to me two days early right at nap time for our first day of construction at home! Kids rooms are first, so everyone is sleeping with mom and this arrived just in time! Pros: 1. Super soft stretchy material makes it easy to work with putting it over a Hiccapop inflatable toddler bed. I setup our pack-n-play and my toddler’s head and feet touched the top and bottom length wise. I legit had just set it up when this and our Hiccapop inflatable toddler bed arrived at the door just a few minutes later! It fit perfectly over the bed, just had to stretch it over. The stretchy jersey knit fabric plus the open base and tent poles made that easy and didn’t compromise the pod. 2. The net for the fan and the clear plastic pocket for the baby cam are both super easy to access at the top of the pod. 3. You don’t need to buy the fan/pod combo, you can put any small fan in the mesh pouch as it is not a special shape, just a generic pouch. 4. Easy setup. If you’ve ever set up a tent before, you will find this easy and self explanatory. The instructions are on the carrying case that comes with it. I didn’t use the pack-n-play to set up, just did it on the floor like I would a tent. Cons: 1. That price tag is pretty hefty. While I’m happy with the purchase, I still cringe when I think of how much I spent on it. I took the plunge due to how many friends said it was worth it. 2. It’s pretty warm inside, so if you’re not in a cool room, no fan is going to keep it cool, you might just have to keep the window part unzipped and open to get air in.
