Unless you have been living underneath a proverbial rock, the days of hauling a cumbersome Pack ’n Play from one destination to the next are long gone! This is because of the holy grail of baby gear: the DockATot! The DockATot is a portable co-sleeper and lounger that has won the approval of everyday and celebrity moms alike, from Kim Karsdashian and Emilie de Ravin to Lauren Conrad and Coco Rocha. Some of its notable accolades include National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, Mom’s Choice Award, Silver Nappa Award, and TillyWig Award.
The style element is often left out of the equation when it comes to creating functional products like baby gear, but the DockATot isn’t utilitarian in the least. It has been dutifully created for your baby to lay back in style, whether they’re playing, lounging, napping, or co-sleeping. For playtime, you can purchase the toy arch and toy sets separately. The functionality doesn’t end there! It is also beneficial for supervised tummy time to improve your baby’s motor skills while strengthening their head, neck, and shoulder muscles. This is why its portability, functionality, and versatility makes it the perfect traveling companion. It helps simplify the traveling experience while preserving the sanity for parents of babies and toddlers!
It has been almost 2 months since our third baby made his entrance into the world! We have tried several different baby products since his arrival, but nothing comes close to the DockATot Deluxe+ Dock. It is our favorite baby product for many reasons! I love that each DockATot Dock is not only made with a non-toxic, washable, comfortable, hypoallergenic, and breathable fabric, but it also features protective sides to prevent baby from rolling out.
Spit-ups and blow-outs are inevitable and come with the territory. It was pleasing to know that the slipcovers are 100% machine washable, especially since my son has had a few minor spit-ups. Unzipping the slipcover and throwing it into the wash was easy peasy! It looked good as new after it came out of the wash.
From neutral to geometric patterns, you can choose from a variety of designs to complement every room in the house – not just the nursery!
Nestled high up in the clouds is a hidden world you probably never even knew existed. Powder pink kites dance through the warm air, enchanted tunnels with changing architecture, rainbows appearing suddenly to create lavish light shows. You’ll find friends who can turn clouds into candy floss and fish who can sing as sweetly as the nightingale’s song.
The DockATot Deluxe+ Dock (Night Night; $195) that I’m featuring is beautifully illustrated with the wondrous work of Mrs. Mighetto. Mrs. Mighetto is a Swedish brand that is known for their original watercolor paintings that are filled with mystique, fantasy, and whimsy. DockATot and Mrs. Mighetto collaborated, unveiling two limited-edition slipcovers (Night Night and Lovely Day) along with a matching toy set (Cloud Friends; $30).
It is true that the DockATot Deluxe+ Dock has a price tag that may cause any parent to be hesitant, but it is truly worth the investment! Especially if it is quality, functionality, and versatility that you’re wanting. The DockATot Deluxe+ Dock is definitely baby shower gift-worthy. The recipient may send you another thank you card down the road – even if they already sent you one after the shower!
This fall, the coveted Swedish brand will be unveiling a botanical-inspired collection, including patterns of palm trees, banana leaves, and roses.

Choosing the Right Size DockATot
Weight: 5-22lbs
The DockATot Deluxe+ is perfect for supervised tummy time, lounging, supervised naps, changing diapers, safe co-sleeping, and playing. It fits snugly, creating a sense of being held. The clasp can remain open for added length.
Weight: 22-40lbs
The DockATot Grand is perfect for transitioning to big kid bed and lounging around the house, to name at least a couple of its benefits. There are bumpers that act as a bed guard for young children, allowing them to settle more easily in a bigger bed and make an easier crib to bed transition.
It’s so amazing all of the convenient and useful baby products that they keep coming out with. They sure make life a lot easier for new moms.
Where was this when my boys were babies? Talk about convenient. My brother has a new baby, so this would be awesome for him.
This is so cute and functional. I wish I had this when my kids were babies.

I like this idea! Better than rolled up toweling! The new products that are around these days are so helpful. I love the colorful designs, too.

I’ve heard of the Dockatot and I totally want one! Love the marbled look this one has… so elegant looking.

I’ve got a trip coming up with my two year old and six week old, so I might have to look into this. I’ve never seen them before, and the pack n play plus double stroller is taking up my whole trunk.

Cute a design on the one you have. I also like the other print shown. These would have been great when my kids were smaller.
This looks like the confy little bed these guys and gals need at that age. I will have to tell my brother about this because he has another baby on the way.

this is perfect for little ones! I love how convenient it is and all those prints are so fun!
That’s a great product. I wish this was around when I had my kids! Sounds like a really convenient thing to have especially when you are juggling more than one child.
I really enjoy baby things that aren’t in traditional baby patterns. I always wonder who made the rules that yellow ducks equaled baby items.

That is just so adorable. I love the design and the color of the one that you got. Wish I had one like that when my son was a baby.

So important not to sleep in bed with baby without one of these. Rolling over on an infant can be deadly and unfortunately happens more than people realize. I remember hauling the pack and play around with our kids. Had to buy a car with more luggage space just for that.
Ooh I wish I would have had one of these when my little babies were born. They would have been amazing especially for co sleeping.
I don’t have kids yet but I loveeeee, the style and ease of this! It’s so fashion forward and such a good product.
This is what I’m getting the next time I have a baby! Especially for those first few months when they refuse to be put down in their cribs.

I’ve heard so much about the brand! We ended up buying this and I absolutely love it. We use it every day! It’s definitely a must have for me.
Love the design and the quality. And your baby is so adorable. I can’t wait to have my own soon. I am so patiently waiting for the right time.
