Our verdict

Cradlewise suits parents who want sleep data and sleep-standard hardware in one purchase, and who accept a high entry price plus a wifi and account dependency. The smart crib runs $1,499 to $1,799, covers a child to 24 months, and ships with a mattress.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The smart crib at $1,499 to $1,799 comes with a mattress included, so nothing else has to be bought to set it up.
  • Sleep standards are astm f2194 and 16 cfr 1218, so the certification sits on the product record rather than on marketing language.
  • Sleep analytics is a yes and smart features is a yes, with a $10 monthly plan sitting behind the app side.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which includes a phone line, and shipping covers US, CA and AU.

Cons

  • The parent unit is a no, so no handheld screen comes in the box and the phone app does all of the watching.
  • Breathing monitoring is none, so what the sensors report is sleep analytics rather than breathing or heart readings.
  • Wifi required is yes and an account is required, so the setup depends on a connection and a login.
  • Entry price places the smart crib 59 of 59 on price from, so it sits at the expensive end of the field.

Who it suits

  • Parents who want sleep analytics from a smart monitor built into the sleep space itself.
  • Families in the United States, CA and AU who want the mattress in the box and the standards already on the product.
  • Buyers who want one system across the bassinet and crib stages, since the range is crib, bassinet and smart sleeper and the warranty runs 1 year.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants a plain bassinet and nothing more: Evenflo Company lists bassinet with no connected layer.
  • Parents who would rather rent than buy: Wookids Rental covers cot, bedside crib and mattress rather than a smart crib at $1,499 to $1,799.
  • Shoppers who only want the bassinet and smart sleeper end of the market: Happiest Baby lists bassinet and smart sleeper, while this range also includes a crib.

How it compares on our data

Two of the three rankings work in this brand's favour, and the third does not. On age reached, the smart crib places 13 of 35 brands. On child weight reached, it places 9 of 30. On price from, the smart crib places 59 of 59, which is the weakest of the three. Read side by side, the numbers describe a roomy spec bought at a high entry price. Age reach and weight capacity sit in the middle of the field with clear room above them, while the money sits at the back. Buyers shopping on capacity alone will find the ceiling worth noting. Buyers shopping on cost will start looking elsewhere.

Core features

The core spec covers a good stretch of the early years. Age max months is 24 months and child weight max is 14.97 kg, both sitting above the middle of the field on the rankings. A mattress is included with the machine, so a new crib does not need a separate sleep surface bought at the same time. Smart features is a yes, and that is the whole reason the price sits where it does: the sensors and the app are the product. The warranty runs 1 year, which is the term to read twice next to a connected crib that stays in a child's room for years.

The company behind it

The seller is Cradlewise Inc., based in the US. Support runs on email, phone and help centre: email, a phone line and a help centre. Email is the common baseline in this category, and a listed phone line is the difference that shows up when a connected unit needs sorting out. A single named company sits behind the shop and its legal pages, so there is one party to approach on a warranty claim or a delivery problem. For a product bought direct rather than through a general retailer, that is the practical part of looking at the company.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the smart crib cost?+

The smart crib is listed at $1,499 to $1,799. That figure covers the crib and the mattress, since a mattress is included. The monthly plan for the connected features is a separate line at $10 a month, so the running cost matters as much as the entry price.

How long can a child use the smart crib?+

Age max months is 24 months and child weight max is 14.97 kg. Both sit above the middle of the comparison field, so the machine covers well past the first year. The range also includes a bassinet and a smart sleeper, which extends the usable window rather than stopping at the crib stage.

What safety standards does the crib meet?+

The listed sleep standards are astm f2194 and 16 cfr 1218, and both are US product standards rather than European ones. That tells you which market the certification was written for. The certification set sits alongside a 1 year warranty on the hardware, which is the other document worth reading before checkout.

Where does Cradlewise ship?+

Shipping covers US, CA and AU. The seller is Cradlewise Inc., based in the US, and support runs on email, phone and help centre, so anyone outside that list would want to check delivery before ordering. A US base also explains why the listed sleep standards are the US ones.

Does the monitor come with a handheld parent unit?+

The parent unit is a no. Everything is seen on a phone through the account and the app, which is why an account is required and wifi required is yes. There is no separate screen to charge or leave on a bedside table, and the $10 monthly plan sits behind that app side.

Does the crib monitor breathing?+

Breathing monitoring is none. What the crib does report is sleep analytics, and the monitor type is smart. Parents shopping for a device that watches breathing or heart signals would need to look elsewhere in the category, since that is not what this hardware is set up to do.

How long is the warranty?+

The warranty runs 1 year, which is short next to the years a crib stays in a child's room. On a smart crib at $1,499 to $1,799 that is worth weighing before checkout, and it makes support reach matter. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a phone line is there when something needs explaining.

What does the product range include?+

The product types are crib, bassinet and smart sleeper: a crib, a bassinet, a smart sleeper and a mattress. That is a wider nursery set than Happiest Baby, which lists bassinet and smart sleeper, and it puts the bassinet stage and the later sleep surfaces under one account and one app.

Who is a smart crib like this for?+

It suits parents who want sleep analytics from a smart monitor and who are happy to run an account and a wifi connection. Anyone chasing the cheapest bassinet sits at the other end of the price field, where this brand ranks 59 of 59.
