The bear was never played with or used in crib. We only used the sound insert, which is still in perfect condition. Responsive and portable white noise machine, lovey, and fun puppet—perfect for babies & toddlers! During a feeding, in the car, or catnapping at Grandma’s, SNOObear is your helper, quickly soothing the fussies and easing your little one into sleep! This cuddly bear not only gives your baby the same unique white noise sounds as SNOO, one of the world’s most beloved baby products, it’s responsive as well. That means, after the sound turns off, SNOObear continues to monitor your baby and automatically turns back on if your baby cries.
