SNOO Baby Leg Lifters
SNOO Leg Lifters FAQ
Crib risers (bed risers or furniture risers) are wooden or plastic blocks meant to be placed under the foot of each crib leg to boost height. Parents may consider crib risers if they’re tall, making access to their baby easier. Folks may also consider crib risers if they’re looking to create additional storage under the crib.
However, traditional crib risers are not safe. The reason: Crib makers do not manufacture or sell crib risers, which means there are no crib risers available designed to perfectly and safely fit your crib. Which means, using crib risers can cause accidents due to, say, imbalance. At the same time, using only two crib risers to create an incline is most definitely unsafe!
No. Unlike traditional crib or bed risers, SNOO Leg Lifters are not intended to be used to make SNOO taller. Instead, SNOO Leg Lifters raise the head of SNOO to a very slight and safe incline. Because they’re specifically designed for SNOO, once installed correctly, a stable fit is guaranteed.
Traditional crib risers and bed risers are dangerous—whether used to create an incline or to lift the crib off the ground. The unsafe incline can cause babies to fall asleep with their chest to their chin, restricting their airway. And the unsafe four-crib-leg lift can create an unstable sleep environment.
Yes! SNOO Leg Lifters were designed with safety as the top priority. SNOO Leg Lifters slightly raise a baby’s head to a safe 2.5-degree incline, which is well under the maximum federally recommended limit of 10 degrees. SNOO Leg Lifters can be helpful if your pediatrician recommends elevation for a stuffy nose or spitting up.
SNOO Leg Lifters are the ONLY “crib risers” designed specifically to be used with SNOO, which means they are the ONLY safe option. SNOO Leg Lifters are compatible with SNOO’s regular legs as well as Low Legs.
Yes! SNOO Leg Lifters are slip-resistant and capped with rubber-like feet that keep SNOO securely in place on most floor surfaces.
SNOO Leg Lifters are not adjustable. To install, simply unplug SNOO and lift the side of the bassinet where your baby’s head rests. (That’s the side that’s furthest from the power button.) Next, slide each Leg Lifter onto each foot and then push the pair on firmly. Confirm a snug fit (no wobbles!) and they are ready for use.
