We would absolutely buy the cradle again. Our little guy is 14 months old now and is such a great sleeper. Given our complete inexperience and lack of plan, we have to attribute this to the cradle. It catches him as he is stirring and bounces him back to sleep and prevents him from waking fully the majority of the time. We haven't experienced many dreadful sleep regressions and have generally been pleasantly surprised by how uninterrupted his sleep is. The built-in camera is also great for checking on him and taking cute sleep baby pictures in the middle of the night. I am also pleased that it looks like we may be able to use this as his bed until his second birthday and move him right into a toddler bed. So, we won't ever need any other crib. The constructive criticism I would give: the app needs some work (e.g., we often have to restart it because it freezes and we haven't felt the data about his sleep history is accurate). The sound monitor has never been super-clear. Also, in future iterations, they can hopefully make the bounce a bit quieter. Now that it's in the nursery, the bouncy noise is mostly drowned out by the white noise machine. But we kept it in our room for the first months and when it was close to mom's side of the bed, she could definitely hear it.
