what parents are saying

As of June 2014, SIX babies have died while in a Nap Nanny; you can learn more in this article. While there are plenty of parents on weeSpring who love it, especially for babies with reflux, we urge parents who still own a Nap Nanny to not hand it down to another family. The Fisher-Price Rock N Play and BabyBjorn Babysitter Balance are both good alternatives.

    Although recalled, the Nap Nanny has been great with both of my kids. Obviously it isn't something you want to use with a child who is unattended. Even my 2 year old still loves napping in it! Jul 29, 2020

  • Although this is recalled, I loved to use it with my daughter! Apr 06, 2020

  • I hate that these recalled. But I get it. Was amazing with reflux. Feb 12, 2020

    I know this seat was recalled but when used properly it is a life saver. We always used it on the floor with baby buckled in. The angle is just right and baby loved napping in it with us near by. Mar 21, 2019

  • Had this, but didn't use it long. Jan 27, 2019

  • I know it was recalled but honestly, I'm not sure my first child EVER would have slept without it. Mar 16, 2018

  • Didn't know this item was recalled. I used it in the bed when I wanted to nap with baby boy Oct 19, 2017

  • I have loved mine. Was recalled due to people placing it up on furniture which is never recommended with any baby seat etc Oct 05, 2016

  • I was given this as a hand-me-down. I didn't see the need for it at first and it sat in the closet. OMG I LOVE this thing! Used it for a good 6-7 months! It gave me some freedom. Jul 28, 2016

  • We used this all the time and still do. It's been great for when she was sick, while lounging. My baby is comfortable in it and loves it Jan 14, 2016

  • Honestly if you use this how you are supposed to its awesome to have. Especially if your wee one has reflux. Nov 24, 2015

  • I still love it even though it was recalled.... May 22, 2015

  • Even though this has been recalled, still a favorite of mine for newborns to help with reflux. Dec 03, 2014

  • i think this is an amazing product, unfortunately the parents of the children who died neglected to use them correctly when the product warn the use, ikept mine and my 2 year old still loves her Nanny Sep 30, 2014

  • Love!! Only reason recalled is because people stupidly put it in the bed! Aug 26, 2014

  • Sad that this was recalled.. Both of my babies loved it. May 17, 2014

  • I totally second what Melissa said about this. So helpful, esp when baby is gassy or has minor reflux and cannot lie flat to sleep. Apr 19, 2014

  • There is a new one out there called "daydreamer sleeper" that is essentially the safer version of the napnanny. Higher sides, and super soft n comfy. Naptime with my LO wouldn't be the same w/o it!!!! Mar 25, 2014

  • I know it was recalled, but it's because parents didn't know how to use it properly. I love this and really was awesome for the first few weeks. Mar 24, 2014

  • LOOOOOOVE! Mar 14, 2014

  • Loved this! It was the only thing my daughter would sleep on. I used it very carefully only for naps while i monitored. I would have been great for night time use but I never wanted to risk it. Feb 07, 2014

  • I used this a lot... I didn't have any problems. Dec 13, 2013

  • I loved this item. I know it has been recalled, but I feel that when used according to instructions it is an excellent product. My daughter had reflux, and I could not have lived w/o this. Dec 02, 2013

  • Was great for my baby with reflux. Nov 16, 2013

  • This is great if you are able watch the baby when they are in it! My son loves it and can nap for HOURS in there! Nov 04, 2013

  • Still love it. Oct 31, 2013

  • Glad I got it before the recall! A necessity with a newborn when showering! Oct 20, 2013

  • Greatest thing ever a real shame parents used incorrectly!!! Sep 07, 2013

  • This is the only way my baby slept when he had acid reflux. Jun 14, 2013

  • I know this product was recalled, but it saved us from countless sleepless nights due to baby reflux. With the Nap Nanny, baby was able to sleep through the night at 3 months. And we let him sleep in it until 7 months, when he outgrew it. Jun 03, 2013

  • didn't use that much. May 30, 2013

  • even though my son loved this. i returned it. Feb 09, 2013

  • This was a lifesaver for my daughter who had severe acid reflux. She would only sleep in this recliner from about 4 months until she was 9 months old. Jan 10, 2013

  • For colicky babies who need to be slightly inclined to sleep it's a lifesaver Dec 01, 2012
