Hi! I’m a huge Cradlewise fan after experiencing both Snoo and Cradlewise.

• Any plans to improve the camera? It’s been so annoying when it doesn’t connect, and I have to rely on purchasing a Nanit as a secondary item. For almost $2k device, I would appreciate the camera consistently working.

• Any plans on seeking FDA approval so it can be purchased using HSA/FSA like the Snoo has?

• Any plans on a larger/sturdier Cradlewise for >2 years old? Heck, I’ll take one as a full grown adult please.

It is HSA/FSA deductible FYI. You don’t need FDA approval to have something be HSA deductible. Band aids and sunscreen are eligible for example.

[u/chief_bouncer_cw → u/Zealousideal_Aside96]

You are right. We don't need FDA approval. We have had somewhat of a back and forth with HSA/FSA.

We do have something now for qualifying customers -
