A quick look at robotic, Wi-Fi-enabled crib Snoo

Snoo, a new robotic, Wi-Fi-enabled crib, promises to provide babies with really comforting experience by rocking them to sleep automatically.

While many existing electrified cribs also rock babies to sleep automatically, they lack new features that give Snoo an edge over those existing cribs.

The new crib has a built-in swaddling strap that allows parents to lock baby down safely, while its mesh sides allow air to flow freely. In addition, it monitors the baby’s noise as well as movement. It also plays womb noises and rocks with a “womb-like” motion to calm them down.
