The Dock A Tot: A Sleep Consultant's Review for Toddlers

Named as one of the TOP baby registry items in 2017 & 2018, we couldn't be happier to announce that Sleep & the City is NOW a DockaTot sleep expert!

Best known for encouraging longer naps and sleeping through the night, I couldn't be happier or more honored to be named as a Top Sleep Expert by Dockatot!  The Dockatot is a portable option for travelers, a safe spot to allow baby to explore a new toy, and a wonderful solution for keeping a child feeling safe in a new environment.  Available in two sizes, the Deluxe for Infants and the Grand for Toddlers, in a variety of prints that will easily be the envy of your friends and match any nursery decor idea (also has removable covers that can easily be switched out when passing down to a new baby!)

Read our review below on the Dockatot Grand (for older babies)!

THE GRAND DOCKATOT

My 3-year old son, whom still sleeps in a crib, recently expressed some interest in moving to "big boy bed" (aka toddler bed), which is great, however he is a MOVER AND SHAKER at night, constantly rolling around, and waking up in all different positions and directions at night.  When traveling with my son, he sleeps on the floor in the same room as us, and we've found him under the bed, or halfway through the door completely asleep.  I heard about a company called Dock a Tot from a good friend, and as mentioned I have received dozens of curious client emails regarding the Dock.  The concept sounds fabulous, and keeping a consistent sleep environment when moving a child around from room to room (or moving into a new bed or house) is so crucial if you wish to keep healthy sleep habits.  

The company has two sizes, the "Deluxe" for ages 0-9 months, and a larger size "The Grand" that fits 9-36 month children. I wanted to order the Toddler-size for my son's transition from the crib to the toddler bed, so I teamed up with Dock-A-Tot and within a week our new Dock was at my front door step.  After my kids initially fought over it, lounged in it, and even pretended it was a boat (who doesn't love a game of Hot Lava?!), my toddler son was finally able to attempt sleeping with it for his first big night in his "big boy bed".
