new parents are so easy to scam, they all want the best for their new child, and they think that means blowing $$$$ on too-deluxe baby gear they will only use for a short period of time

we fell for it...plonked down $$$ for the deluxe stroller...used it four times




I’m curious why you only used the stroller 4 times. We also decided on a very expensive stroller and infant cat seat, and we’re pretty happy with them. Assuming the stroller continues to work well for 3ish years I think we’ll have no regrets.

Of course, we don’t know how happy we’d have been with a cheaper option. That probably would have been fine too. But the build quality seems noticeable and it doesn’t feel like we got taken advantage of.


That's fine, but the snoo isn't a scam. It works really well, and is far superior to any other bassinet on the market.

If you value your sleep the snoo is worth it, and frankly I suspect there is a significant consumer base that would pay an even higher price for it.
