Hatch rest plus review1/11/2024 But, it is nice to have the option to go hands-free with the Rest+, so you can do things like turn the device on and off, and control the volume, brightness, colors, sounds and more. To be honest, I didn’t use this feature all that much because it’s so simple to control the Rest+ from my iPhone XR. Amazon Alexa compatibilityĪnother new feature to the Rest+ is that it can now be counted as one of the many gadgets that work with Amazon Alexa, however, you’ll need to enable the “Hatch Baby” skill in the Alexa app and link your Hatch Baby account. These are the other major differences between the two models. Our family has been using the previous model, the Hatch Baby Rest, for nearly a year, so we were already familiar with the basics of the product when I began testing the Hatch Rest+. While the Rest and Rest+ both act as a night light, sound machine, and system to tell the kids when it's time to rise, there are a handful of new features the Rest+ has over its younger sibling, starting with the ability to connect to the Rest+ via WiFi instead of being Bluetooth-only like the original Rest. The Hatch Baby Rest (left) is slightly smaller than the new Hatch Baby Rest+ (right). This way, your curious kid won’t accidentally disrupt the pre-programmed settings. Since the Rest+ can also be controlled via a touch ring around the top rim, parents will appreciate being able to turn on the “toddler lock” for programs (in the app). (My daughter loves to fall asleep to a continuous cycle of rainbow-colored hues paired with the built-in bedtime lullaby.) We have a program for weekday mornings when we need to be out the door for school bright and early, and a program for the weekends so we can all get a few extra minutes of sleep. The program feature can be customized with your child’s favorite sounds and colors. With the Hatch Baby Rest+ app, you and your child can create “Programs” for bedtime, naps, and waking up in the mornings. It’s also part sound machine, which means it can play various tones including white noise, like ocean sounds, nature sounds, static, soothing lullabies, and more to help your child fall asleep (or wake them up). Additionally, the Rest+ utilizes LED lights, so it won’t be hot to the touch when you (or your little one) pick it up. feeding, it also works great with older kids who are afraid of the dark. While this night light feature is great for newborns who may rouse you for a 3 a.m. It provides soft and gentle lighting if you’re using it during the middle of the night or bright and cheerful colors to help wake your child up from a nap or in the morning. The Rest+ is made of plastic and functions as a modern-looking night light. It’s the latest sleep gadget from the Menlo Park–based company, which makes other connected gizmo’s for children and parents, like the Hatch Baby Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale.Īfter a month of testing, I can confidently say that the Rest+ offers a convenient way for busy parents to encourage children to go to bed (and wake up) at the right time, while still offering an element of fun for kids that won’t make them rally against sleep. The Rest+ is a sound machine, night light, and alarm clock for kids all rolled into one handy device. The app lets you choose which lights and sounds to wake your child up or help them fall asleep at a certain time.
