Watch out

  • Hatch Baby is the current nursery model; Rest 2nd Gen and Rest+ 2nd Gen are earlier devices.
  • Beechwood changes the button and body materials; Greige, Mint and Peach are color alternatives.
  • Hatch Go is the portable sound machine. Rest+ uses a charging base; these are different ways to get portability.
  • The candidate Rest + Go bundle is not the maker’s current Hatch Baby + Hatch Go bundle.
