Concerning infant death in previous model
I love amazon reviews and was very shocked when I read the previous model's review by a woman whose son died while in the unit. Her credentials are valid. She used her real name, has a photo of herself, has other reviews that seem fair and was by no means a troll just trying to scare people about some competitors product. I feel...sick and horribly saddened for her loss and my pain for her held me off from buying for a few weeks until I read up on the changes made and other reviews. While the unit was in transit, I was actually stressed, thinking, "am I a horrible mother, subjecting my child to death?!" Well, the unit came today and i believe that the redesign was successful. Any movement that would put a child up against the wall will in no way block air to the child. It is completely mesh and air flow is great. Additionally the mattress pad is attached underneath the entire pod which means that it cannot move around inside and bunch up and provide a suffocation risk. As for the floor of the unit presenting a suffocation risk, I believe that it mimics the structure of a crib bedding. My crib has a plastic coated mattress with a sheet on it. Although there is no sheet here, it's the same concept. I still would never recommend the first model and I still find that mom's review 100% valid. That beings said, I am very happy that I bought this. Other things I like... I didn't really realize that the unit literally pops up when you open the elastic straps. I thought you had to assemble it like a tent. This is fantastic and it eliminates user error. Not to mention, the size! The size is perfect for air travel. No pack and play! (Which my kid hates because it has a wobbly floor) As for moms who have concern with their kid hating it and refusing to be in it. Here is what I did. I popped it open in the living room. The I got super excited and showed my kid a new toy that I put inside it. Later I put her bottle on the floor in there and she climbed in on her own and laid down to drink it and then continued playing. I zipped it up and kept close by to let her know it was safe and good to be in there. I left it our living room for a few days before our trip and she had no problems with it.
