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.

Pediatrician Harvey Karp, who designed the crib with the help of industrial designer Yves Behar, said that it would make parents’ life easier.

Speaking abut the crib, Karp said, “Sleep deprivation plus the screams of crying babies are used to train Navy SEALs to endure torture. That’s everyday life for the average couple taking care of a new baby.”

The Snoo is currently under production by Happiest Baby, with price tag of $1,160 and shipping date set for Nov. 1, 2016.
