"Stay near and watch baby during use. This product is not safe for sleep or unsupervised use. If baby falls asleep, remove baby as soon as possible and place baby on a firm, flat sleep surface such as a crib or bassinet. Never let the child sleep in this product."
as someone whose child at that age would only sleep when in the swing that gets ignored really quick after both parents are operating on 2 hours of sleep everyday for weeks on end. parenting infants was brutal
why though? the point was about build cost, complexity, and materials. The failure modes for the snoo aren't exactly dangerous mechanically or electrically, and would be similar to the swings anyway. There's just no justifiable reason for the cost aside from a lack of competition and marketing.
I never said that swing was a bassinet, I said from my experience completely dismantling and rebuilding a SNOO the build quality is on par with cheap baby swings, and not what you would expect for a device this expensive.
This is like pointing to a Vespa as proof that a BMW should only cost $7k. A BMW is clearly overpriced, but they are also not the same class of vehicle.
Thar seems a fine comparison when you're comparing quality. The SNOO is like a $200k luxury car, that once you open the hood you realize it's built like one of those mopeds from AliExpress that, because the people that made it don't want to be associated with it. Or the ones that say they're a "Yammaha"
