The 1930s was the decade of radio. The 1950s was the decade of television. The 1990s was the decade of Internet. The 2010s is the decade of smart technology. We have smart watches. In addition to that, we have the new smart crib: a good idea?
There’s a smart crib called Smoo. It seems like Smoo automatically puts crying babies to sleep. That’s because it mimics the womb. It rocks the baby back and forth. Also, it comes with a swabbling blanket. Also, it has straps. The blankets and straps stops the baby from rolling over into dangerous places. This prevents SIDS and other catastrophes.
Here’s another Smoo addition: built in microphones. They detect when the baby cries. It detects how loud the baby is. As a result, the crib plays noises, depending on how loud the baby cries. It rocks while it plays noises. The noises mimic heartbeats from an ultrasound machine heard during a sonogram. But when it’s baby bedtime, swaddle baby in the organic blankets provided. It begins the calming process. ?The Smoo cribs come in small, medium and large. Most noteworthy is Smoo’s cost. The cost is $1,150. It begs the question: How much do sleep and sanity costs?
But if you ask me, $1,150 is far too much for any crib. I don’t care if it performs miracles. That is an insane number for a crib. If Smoo wants any business at all, they must lower the costs so more Americans can afford it. Other than that, the smart crib can work. It can give parents the rest they’re deprived of. Just keep in mind…Smoo is for newborns and infants only! This smart crib won’t help toddler tantrums. It won’t help your older kids get their grades up. And it won’t keep bad boys away from your teen daughter…or bad girls away from your teen son. Hence, this is for small babies only. But it can keep your babies quiet, happy and at peace. Thank goodness Smoo can do that. But is $1,150 worth the peace and sanity?
