I've used the Cradlewise smart crib across two kids for two and a half years — and just tested it against the SNOO. This is the honest, updated review: how the predictive rocking actually works, what's new in 2026 (Amazon, pricing, the new subscription), what nobody tells you before you buy, and whether a $2,000 crib is actually worth it.
