When we call designers like Yves Behar creative, it sounds kind of vague...
Because of his latest smart creation, Wi-Fi robotic cradle for babies called Snoo, exhausted parents of newborns enthusiastically accept this statement. The application with which the Snoo cradle comes allows parents to monitor their child's sleep regiments, because the data is sent directly to their smart device via Wi-Fi connection. Do not worry, radiation is not a problem here, since the Wi-Fi signal has a metal shield embedded in the cradle so that the baby will not mind at all. Of course, this option can be ruled out.
The cradle has a rhomboid shape with a textile mesh, so that the child gets enough fresh air, while built-in strap keeps the baby in place while sleeping. Mattress is housed in a wooden mold, which has legs that look like hairpins. Built-in sensors monitor the baby's movements and sounds, emit pleasant tones and rock the crying and nervous baby back to sleep instead of tired parents. What is definitely a good thing - the rocking of the cradle cannot be activated if the belt is not safely attached to its sides.
This cradle also has several automatic options to suit the different moods of the newborn - there is a sensor that automatically starts as soon as the baby wakes up and cries, the low-frequency sound and swing, which is activated when the baby wakes up during the night, and the sound of a higher frequency which will easily calm down a crying child.
The height of the cradle is such that parents can easily take the baby from it and watch what their baby from their own bed. Of course, there is no substitute for touch and voice of parents soothing and lulling the baby, but this cradle or Snoo, aims to be an occasional substitute parents who are exhausted, and it is recommended by a number of distinguished pediatricians.
The idea that started this project was Behar’s personal experience of sleepless nights with four children, who made him thoroughly familiar with the lack of sleep. Thus was born the cradle Snoo after five years of work, in collaboration with Dr. Harvey Karp.
Snoo is suitable for children and babies, although its development will probably go much further than that. Its price will be 1,200 euros and can be purchased over the Internet.
