Introduction: Renting the SNOO? Start Here.

If you’re expecting your first baby, you’ve probably heard about the SNOO Smart Sleeper—a bassinet that gently rocks your newborn, responds to their cries, and helps everyone in the house sleep longer.

But instead of buying it for nearly $2,000, more Canadian parents are now choosing to rent the SNOO. It’s smart, affordable, and convenient—but if it’s your first time, you probably have questions.

This guide answers the most common ones—so you can rent with clarity and sleep with peace of mind.
