Covers (non DockATot brand) from Amazon (we own these and I loved them!)Ī DockATot is used as a docking station for babies! It can be for play time, supervised napping, tummy time and more.Is it in your price range? If not, don’t get one! 😉.Are you someone, like me, who has a crazy toddler running around and you need a safe place to put your baby? Then I highly recommend it!.Are you someone who travels a lot or spends a lot of time not at your home? The Deluxe is a great solution for where your baby could sleep.I feel like everyone’s situation is different but I am so glad I have one. Child should be supervised if napping in it.Īfter I posted a photo of P in her Deluxe on Instagram I had a ton of moms ask if you should get it.Multiple sizes – the Dockatot Grande is for kids older than 8 months.Creates a spot for infants to nap or sleep.You can purchase a Cabana Kit Deluxe which will keep your little one protected from the sun. You can even bring it the beach or camping or just hanging out outside. I like it better than in her car seat or another makeshift bed.Īt Christmas when our daughter was 2 months old, she napped in her DockATot in my parent’s living room in between their coffee table and a chair and it was perfect! I’ve actually even seen people bring it on planes for the baby’s to use to nap. It’s super convenient to put on a bed or the living room floor for Penelope to nap (supervised – safety first please) in at other people’s homes. I’ll also throw in a few toys she can use while hanging out! The carrying case is perfect for bringing a few extras with you. Now when we’re going somewhere and I need P to sleep, I bring the DockATot! It’s so easy to just throw the DockATot back in it’s plastic carrying case and throw it in the car. Now that we have 2 kids worth of stuff to lug everywhere, the smaller the better. Both of these options are great to use but they’re both big and take up a bunch of space! With our oldest, we brought our rock n play or pack and play everywhere. One of the favorite things about it is how easy it is to travel with! The DockATot is a really great option for tummy time! The sides of the DockATot are rounded and you can put your (awake) baby’s arms over the sides to work on their neck strength.Īll of our babies have been fine with doing tummy time on the ground but so many babies don’t love it! Starting on the DockATot will help your baby get used to this position and practice lifting their head. 😉Īnd to be totally honestly, it’s really the perfect spot to put her when I need to tend to Roy or get something done around the house when she’s not napping in her crib. Although since I rarely reach my move goal of 250 calories a day maybe I should rethink this one. I’ll actually even use it to change diapers too! I put a changing pad down and get after it rather than going all the way upstairs to change one of a million diapers or doing it on the floor. I like to encourage her to nap through noise and in different environments to hopefully make her a good sleeper as she grows! Whenever she naps in it she’s in the room where we’re at and we’re in sight of her to ensure it’s a safe sleeping environment. She’ll typically take at least one nap in it during the day while Roy and I are playing. She gets to hang out in her Dockatot in our living room (which is connected to our dining room – we have an open floor plan) while I get Roy up and get his breakfast made. I use it ever morning after Penelope’s done eating. To be honest, I literally use my DockATot every single day all throughout the day. There are ton of uses for a DockATot! They’re great for tummy time, for having a safe place to set your baby down when you can’t be holding them, or for supervised naps on the go.

Paisley + Sparrow is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. But when I got asked if I wanted one to review, I jumped on the opportunity! We made do with our swing, rock n play or blanket on the floor. I saw them all over Instagram and debated about getting one but never did. One thing we didn’t have with Roy was a DockATot. Since we had Roy 16 months earlier, everything was still in good working order (with the enhancement of a few blow out stains here and there )).Īnd just like I was smarter about what to bring to the hospital, I had a good grasp on what we would and wouldn’t use for baby #2. Since they’re one of the pricer baby items, I wanted to share my full DockATot Deluxe Review for you after using it with Penelope!įor the most part we didn’t get a lot of new things for Penelope when she was born. DockATots are one of those baby things that you always wonder if they’re as amazing as everyone says.
