I was skeptical of so many amazing reviews, and despite my better judgement, I went ahead and purchased the DockATot thinking it, too, would provide me with a bit more sleep at night.
I wanted to be able to give this a 5-star review, but my experience with it has not been like so many others that have touted this as a miracle sleep solution for babies -- alas, it is not. Don't get me wrong, I do like the product, and it is a great solution for co-sleeping, however I found that my infant doesn't sleep any more soundly in the DockATot than she did while swaddled in her bassinet. I gave this about 4 weeks of use in order to give this a fair review of my experience, and quite honestly I just don't think that it is worth the very high price tag for what you get. The other minor downside that I didn't like was the fabric of the bed itself. It's rather rough, almost like a potato sack feel, but a bit softer to the touch. I will still use this until my baby outgrows it, as I do like the product for safer co-sleeping, but the high price tag just wouldn't be enough to justify the cost in the long run.
On a side note, their customer service was excellent! I was initially sent the wrong item, to which I emailed them about the mistake, and they responded within 24 hours. They Express shipped me the correct item via UPS free of charge, refunded me $10 for the inconvenience, and had UPS pick up the wrong item for return.
