I’m currently torn between the Snuzpod and Newton bassinet - has anyone used either of these and either rates or hates them for any particular reason?
They both have good reviews online, a friend of mine has the Snuzpod and said it was the best for both her kids. Ultimately they do the same thing, but Newton is bigger so might last longer before we transition the baby to the big crib.
Any recommendations for bedside bassinets out of the above or any others that I should consider?

I haven't used either of those, but I'll still be getting another Halo Swivel bedside bassinet. They are easy to move out of the way for you to get in and out of bed, so you don't have to crawl around them or disturb baby. The height is completely adjustable, and can even be positioned on top of the bed. The side can be flexible by leaning adult body weight on it, making it easier to lift baby in and out. Pay attention to the base - the better models are flatter to the ground and will slide at least partially under the bedframe, making them less of a trip hazard and generally take up less space.
The one feature I potentially like about the SnuzPod is the detachable portable bassinet, but I'd rather have something smaller and more compact for that. The Graco bassinet I used for my first actually detached like that and I loved it, but it was recalled.

I love my Newton bassinet And he didn't get out of it until about 6 months This will be our second Baby using it I love the structure of it and I adored the mattress Especially when your 3 month old starts rolling over and wants to sleep on their Stomach Got me stressed out but it's so breathable it gave me a piece of mind plus his owl sock Helped out a lot as well We also got the Newton mattress in his crib from 6month to 19 month had just the original mattress one from Walmart it was a good quality but he would sweat a lot and would move and flip a lot When we got the new Newton mattress Literally night and day difference
