My thoughts on the Nap Nanny
I haven’t used a Nap Nanny myself, but a good friend has one and she loves it. Any time her son is crying or upset she places him in the Nanny and he quiets down nicely. Also, the Nanny reminds me of the Tucker Sling which is also very popular for colic so you might want to check that out as well.
Pricing & Where to Buy
I’ve seen the Nap Nanny for sale for anywhere from $120-$145 online, offline it always seems way over priced. One of the best places to get a good deal on it seems to be Amazon.

I wish it were made of organics. Otherwise an awesome product.
I wanted to see what the negative ratings were so I clicked on the down thumb and it recorded me as giving a negative rating. This is incorrect and you should deduct a negative rating from this product’s review as I know nothing about the product!
I bought the Nap Nanny when my daughter was a week old and I absolutely LOVE it. My daughter, who has colic, sleeps in it (we put it in her crib) and wakes up rested and happy. We’ve tried to put her on her back at night and she is miserable.
This is the best purchase we’ve made since she’s been born and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The second best? The Revolution BOB.
Highly recommended.
My 4 month old has been sleeping in the nap nanny for over 2 months and it has been a savior. We co slepp and I recently found out that the nap nanny fits snugly into the arms reach co sleeper and puts her eye levey wit me.
It took a couple weeks of short amount of time to get her used to it, but now it is her place to sleep, nap and rest well.
The only con is the polyurithatne smell, but I covered it with a lambs wool (which also makes it a bit softer) and a sheet and this has worked really well for us.
It has worked great for us so far.
I wanted to let eveyone know that I have been using the Nap Nanny for a while now and it was the BEST baby product I have for my son who had problems early on with colic. It is newer product from what I understand and is a portable baby chair/recliner and I think the 30 degree incline is just the perfect position to offer my son a comfortable sleep. It has been a life saver. Now I order on Nap Nanny from here and in terms of the cost, to be honest I would have paid alot MORE for something that would provide me and my son with peace of mind and SLEEP. So to me it was worth every penny and more! I am trying to tell my girlfriends about it and give it as gifts. Good luck everyone with their little ones. Abby B. (aka…one happy Nap Nanny mom)
I have twins and they both have a nap nanny. They are nearly 5 months and have been in them since we came home at three weeks old. They had severe reflux and we were told they needed to always be at a 30 degree angle. I found the nap nannies and they are the greatest. They babies love them.
Awesome product best thing out there. We take them when we travel for overnights. I have them in the upstairs and downstairs nurseries. Great for twins for several reasons. Thanks to the mom that came up with them. They should advertise these in OB offices so moms can get them for their nursery before they bring the babies home.
