The jury is still out
October 24, 2016
I ordered the dockatot grand because my 18 month old was in a sleep regression and absolutely refused to sleep in the crib. I was desperate and willing to try anything to get her to nap. My husband has been able to get her to take 2 good naps in it while it was on the floor, but I haven't been able to get her to take any. Currently, the dockatot's use is limited to my daughter laying in it during the bedtime routine. In my opinion, I'm not sure it's worth all the hype (or money), but will update my review if anything changes. On a side note, I've heard people have more success with the smaller size (ie: younger children), which I could totally imagine, so would still consider buying the smaller one if I had an infant who wasn't sleeping well. But for a toddler, I don't see the grand as being particularly helpful right now, although I do plan to use it in a toddler bed once my daughter transitions, so (hopefully) it won't have been a complete waste of money. Unrelated to the product, albee baby customer service was great with my order. I wanted to change the color when the one I wanted came in stock, and they were able to accommodate my request.
