Homebase is a new product from SlumberPod that's effective for creating a comforting and dark sleep environment for babies and toddlers. The tent-like sleep privacy pod is designed to fit over a crib and it helps to block out the spots where light would ordinarily leak in.
Katy Mallory, CEO and Co-Founder of SlumberPod, says, "For so many families, SlumberPod has been a real game-changer when traveling and sharing a room with little ones. We heard over and over again how they love their SlumberPod so much, and they wanted to be able to use it over their full-sized home cribs." Now, when families with young ones are not traveling, kids get the peace of a blackout environment and the security of a consistent sleep schedule.
