My son is 11 months and our daughter is now 2.5. Our son started with the Deluxe, but now they both sleep in their own Grands. We now have 2 children and they each use a DockATot. Maybe a week after adjusting to it, she was sleeping through the night without waking at all. It took our crappy sleeper and flipped her to sleeping champ. Now, I don't know what voodoo is attached to this dang DockATot, but it worked a true miracle that only sleep deprived parents can fully appreciate. We later took it to New Orleans, Las Vegas, Virginia, friend's houses etc and SHE SLEPT EVERYWHERE. She took at least a 3 hour nap EACH DAY of the trip. I put the Grand in the packnplay and SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. I assumed we wouldn't sleep at all that trip since she would be in a packnplay. I packed up that DockATot and took it with me to Arizona. Then slept 7pm to 7am the next night with only one wake up. The next day, she took a 3 hour nap in the DockATot. The longest night of sleep I had had in MONTHS. She only woke up once in 12 hours to nurse. It feels like with one too many times of transporting it around the house that it might break.Īlso, while the sides feel properly plush and cushioned, I’d like to see the base have a bit more depth to it for extra comfort.I didn't hear a peep from her for SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT. It would be great if it was updated to feel more sturdy to carry the weight of this particular dock.

What changes would you make to this product?ĭefinitely the side handle design. And although perhaps not as plush, these are half the price of the Grand Dock. In comparison to what's out there on the market, you are once again spoilt for choice with plenty of variations, called toddler nests or toddler pods, to choose from. The designs are beautiful and the cushioned sides provide much comfort. This is a plush piece of kit for your toddler and is well made (excluding the handle) so you know it will last forever. Would you choose this product above all others on the market? So if you can afford it, or you can pop it on a baby shower gift wish list for a family or friend to treat you, then we recommend. It does come with a thin, clear case so you can at least protect the cover if you need to bung it in the boot of your car. In fact, for that price tag, it is a shame DockATot don’t supply a decent carry bag to transport the dock when you do want to travel with it in tow. Now if I step out of my dreamy, Grand Dock bubble, there is a lot more I can do with that money, than spend it on 1 item. It’s got a handle on the side to carry around the house, although I usually steer clear of using it as the weight of the Grand Dock feels like it might break it. The design is beautiful (we have the Willow Boughs) and from 18 others to choose from you’re spoilt for choice. Would you recommend this to other parents? It’s genuinely a lovely addition to our home. It just feels like there’s plenty of ways you can utilise the dock without trying. Fair enough I’m only small, but for a decent-sized adult (5ft 3in) and a toddler around half my size, we fit in the Grand Dock together nice and snug.

Other ways it’s kept my toddler happy is when we’ve both sat in the dock and played with his dinosaurs or read books together in it. Enter a world where there’s a Grand Dock about and my toddler ends up napping, while I sit on the sofa next to him, in the dock! Hurrah. Comfortable, happy and well rested (and that’s not just my toddler). Up until its arrival, my toddler hadn’t napped anywhere else in the house, but his room. It’s 50 per cent wider than the DockATot’s we’re used to ( The Deluxe+ Dock for 0-9 months) and has become a saviour during the months and months of lockdown. How did this product make your life easier?įrom the moment this dock landed in our house, we all wanted to lounge in it. Plus, it comes in 19 different designs! Woah. Suitable for 9-36+ months, this dock is great for moving around the house or taking travelling for your tot to lounge in. It’s a multitasking, stage 2 dock from the formerly known Swedish brand, Sleepyhead.
