I think this product is great and can be used with toddlers also. My big kids even like sitting in it for fun.

My 4-month-old has reflux, which is why I purchased this. However, she sleeps on her side and the Nap Nanny does not allow for her to do this. If we had owned one from birth we might have been able to get her to sleep in it, but I’m not sure she would have been comfortable in it anyway because it’s so steep. It is useful for keeping baby propped up after feedings, but there are several other, less expensive ways of doing this. I will be selling mine on ebay.

I had originally given this product a negative review after both of my twins disliked it so. In the last week, however, both my boy and girl have grown to love this bed. My daughter, who only slept in her swing, now drifts off peacefully in her nap nanny. I can’t really figure out why they disliked it so at first. They seemed to hate it on the floor. For [...] bucks I placed it inside the bassinet they’d outgrown and it’s now a huge hit. And I’ll say this again–the fabric and design of this bed is really gorgeous. I have the camel minky and it’s the best looking baby item we own.

We purchased the Nap Nanny after reading that it might help with infant reflux. Upon opening the package, we were instantly overwhelmed with a terrible chemical smell. We thought perhaps it would go away after airing it out for a few days. It did not. My son smelled like this chemical after laying on the Nap Nanny for just a short time.
I was very concerned, so I researched the issues of fire retardants (which the Nap Nanny is treated with, according to the manufacturer) and there are some very serious issues with this chemical and infants. I won’t go into that here as there is plenty of information online about the concerns of these chemicals, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE Flame Retardants). I contacted Nap Nanny directly to inquire about the smell and I was told that sometimes in the manufacturing process, more of the chemical gets concentrated in some areas as it is applied to the Nap Nanny. The company recommended that I order a replacement from Amazon and return the original as defective. I did and the new Nap Nanny arrived and had the very same smell. We aired it out again and the smell did not go away. We decided that there was no way we were going to let our son sleep on this thing that smelled so toxic.
Many children’s items we own unfortunately contain these PBDE’s including our bouncy seat and the cushion on our son’s highchair. It is difficult to avoid this chemical as it seems to be in most baby gear. However, none of these other items we own exhibited such a strong smell as the Nap Nanny did, even when they were brand new.
We also returned the second Nap Nanny for a full refund from Amazon because it was unusable. The one good thing about the Nap Nanny is that it made me more aware of this chemical in baby products and now we are trying to avoid it whenever possible. Oh, and what did we do about the reflux which in my son’s case was really just excessive spitting up when sleeping? We elevated the head of the bed by 6″ with a few pieces of scrap 2×4’s…this, a little bit of time and patience and the reflux problem went away. And the 2×4’s were free.

My baby has reflux and will not sleep on her back. We thought this would be a great solution, but it has not worked for us. She doesn’t like to be swaddled, but she also does not like to have too much wiggle room either. When she is in the nap nanny there is too much room around her– I don’t this she feels secure and wakes up within 10 minutes (even if I roll up blankets around her). I think this product would work better for bigger/older babies with more head control (mine is 2 months old, 24 inches/14 lbs). She does, however, love to hang out in the seat, so at least it wasn’t a total waste of money. The one thing that has worked to get her to sleep on her back is the Fisher Price Newborn Rock and Play Sleeper. If your baby will only sleep in a swing or carseat, I suggest giving this product a try–it’s only $50, it is an approved infant sleeping product, and it has worked like a charm for us.
