FAQ


Safety

1. What are your safety guidelines?

SAFETY IS OUR #1 PRIORITY. As inventors of the original baby lounger, we are leaders in our category for safety. As recommended by the AAP, NEVER use any baby lounger as a sleep device. NEVER use any baby lounger unsupervised. The Snuggle Me is designed for actively engaging, playing, and bonding with your awake little one. It is important to be in the same room and supervising your baby when using the Snuggle Me. During the night, use safe crib practices and do not use your lounger in, or in place of a crib. Never leave baby unsupervised. Never use in a crib or other sleep device. Never place on soft or uneven surfaces. Baby loungers should not be used as co sleeping devices due to the padded sides. The safest place for a baby to sleep overnight is in a crib with a fitted sheet.

2. Do your products contain harmful chemicals?

Definitely not! We use organic cotton for all of our fabrics. Our fills are also free from chemicals and flame retardants.

3. Have any babies been injured in the Snuggle Me?

To date, no. We have safely sold the Snuggle Me for over 13 years with no incidents reported with the CPSC, Health Canada, or to our Hotline.

4. Can you use the Snuggle Me for co-sleeping?

That's a great question! Guidelines changed in 2017 around the use of padded loungers for co-sleeping. It is now recommended that padded loungers only be used for supervised uses. The Snuggle Me Lounger is not a sleeping device and should not be used for co-sleeping.

 

General

1. What are Snuggle Me products made from?

We chose to use organic cotton to keep babies safe from harmful chemicals. For our fills, we use polyester fiber with zero added chemicals or flame retardants. This combo makes all of our products machine washable!

2. What inspired you to create the Snuggle Me?

Mia created the Snuggle Me in 2007 after having twin boys. She struggled juggling both of their needs and the needs of a toddler at the same time. She told her family that all she needed was someone to come in and just HOLD a baby. They got to work and designed a portable nest that would simulate the feeling of being held. It was the very first baby lounger, a brand new category of product.

3. I am buying this as a gift for someone. Is there anything I need to do to set that up?

What a wonderful gift! When you start the checkout process, you can leave a thoughtful note for your loved one!

4. Why is the color of my lounger slightly different to the color of my cover/feeding support/swaddle?

Color variations are normal and expected, as the lounger is made with natural, organic cotton produced in a very artisanal way. Your lounger’s color may look slightly different to other products of the same color family or loungers in product photos. This makes each lounger unique to you and your baby! 

 

Lounger

 

1. Can you use the Snuggle Me without a cover?

Yes, you definitely can! However, having a cover will reduce the amount of washing that the lounger itself needs. It is MUCH easier to wash the cover than the entire lounger. We usually recommend having 2 covers so that you can use one while the other is in the wash. For even more protection, grab one of our organic puddle pads!

2. How should my baby be positioned in the Snuggle Me?

Place your baby in the lounger with their bottom up to the end of the lounger and drape their legs over the end. This position helps prevent them from rolling or turning and also helps with circulation. Watch our tutorial, Positioning Your Baby for more guidance.

3. Why is the middle of the lounger unpadded?

The middle is meant to be unpadded so that it can act like a sling to pull the sides in to hold baby and help them feel held.

4. What are the black specks on my natural colored lounger? 

Our natural colored products are all made with undyed organic cotton. The variations in color can be caused by the conditions where the cotton was grown like weather, location, etc. The tiny darker brown flecks within the fabric are natural leaf, stem and seed remnants of the cotton plant. When fabric is processed with bleach and dyes these disappear from view, but since our natural products are made with unprocessed fabric they will appear in varying degrees.

Feeding Support

1. What is the best way to use the Feeding Support?

Our Feeding Support is very easy to use and can adjust easily to various body types and positions. See it in action here.

2. What is the difference between the Snuggle Me Feeding Support and others like it?

We created our feeding support with tapered ends so that the tabs can tuck back behind you. This less-bulky design means you can LEAN BACK while nursing! Plus they are a beautiful, sophisticated addition to your home, something you can use long after your baby has grown.

 

Accessories

1. My cover seems too big for the lounger. Is this normal?

The cover is meant to fit a bit bigger than the lounger so that as baby grows, the cover isn't stretched too thin or pulls the sides of the lounger too tightly. If the cover is a little bunchy, you can try tucking the ends under the lounger for a tighter fit.

2. Is the puddle pad waterproof?

The pad is not meant to be waterproof so that the entire lounger and covers stay breathable for safety. Instead, it is made with a super absorbent cotton that is meant to help with small spills, leaks, and accidents but is still easily washable!

 

Care

1. How do I wash the Snuggle Me?

All of our items are machine washable! The loungers, covers, swaddles and feeding supports can be washed on COLD with mild detergent (avoid getting detergent onto the actual products). Do not use an agitator if possible with the loungers/feeding supports as this can shift the filling. We recommend a detergent free of optical brighteners and have known Dreft and all Tide (even free and clear) detergents to cause problems with the organic dyes used on all Snuggle Me products.

Dry your items on COOL (any heat could potentially shrink cotton). To be completely safe, air dry your items. Covers should be laid flat to dry, as hanging can cause the fabric to stretch. See our washing and care video for more.

2. The stuffing in my lounger has shifted. How do I fix this?

The filling can shift during washing or from baby’s head/legs pushing against the edges but it can be refluffed! Watch this video on how to reshape your lounger.

3. My cover shrunk after I washed it. How can I fix this?

Wash in cold water, or simply get the cover damp and gently re-stretch the fabric out before air drying completely. You can also let it hang dry, in both directions to help stretch the fabric even more.

Shortly after your order has been cancelled you will receive order cancellation and refund confirmation emails from Snuggle Me.

Please note: BOGO (Buy one, get one) promotions must be returned as a set. If the free gift is not returned with the qualifying item, the full retail cost (MSRP) of the free gift will be subtracted from the final refund amount. The free gift may not be returned for a refund, store credit or an exchange of color. For example, if you have claimed a free lounger cover with the purchase of a lounger and would like to return your lounger, the lounger cover would need to be returned as well. The full MSRP of the lounger cover will be deducted from the final refund for any return received with only the Lounger.
