The Norwegian parenting editorial team foreldresiden.no has tested six of the most popular sleep trainers on the market for 2026. The result is great news for Zazu: Zazu Sarah is crowned Best in Test 2026, while Davy, Pam, and Brody all receive clear recommendations. Of the six models tested, four are Zazu – and it is the Zazu models that are highlighted as the editorial team's clear favorites.
How the test was conducted
A sleep trainer helps young children understand the difference between night and day – and when it's okay to get up – long before they can tell time. This often happens with a simple traffic light: red for night, orange for "almost morning," and green for "time to get up."
The editorial team evaluated the six models based on four criteria: how easy the signals are for the child to understand, user-friendliness for the parent, functionality, and how long the product can be used as the child grows.
The winner: Zazu Sarah
Zazu Sarah, a white rabbit in soft silicone, is described as the most versatile and complete model in the test. The editorial team particularly highlights:
- Wide usage time – works from newborn stage (night light, lullabies, white noise) all the way up to school age (digital clock with weekday, alarm clock).
- Educational sleep training – traffic light combined with open/closed eyes, plus digital clock for older children.
- Adjustable night light in five colors that the child can turn on with a light touch on the rabbit.
- Built-in rechargeable battery, button lock, and a screen that can be dimmed or turned off completely.
- Good sound quality for a product in this class.
That Sarah was also the most affordable model in the test contributed to the overall rating. The missing features – weekday/weekend mode, cry sensor, and Bluetooth speaker – were noted as the only real drawbacks.
Davy, Pam, and Brody – the whole family is recommended
It's not just Sarah that impresses. Three other Zazu models receive explicit recommendations in the same test:
- Zazu Davy – Recommended 2026. Last year's test winner remains at the top. It combines traffic lights and open/closed eyes with a large screen showing both digital and analog clocks and a countdown with stars. A sleep trainer that "grows with the child" – simple for the little ones, educational for the older ones.
- Zazu Pam – Recommended 2026. A 3-in-1 solution that combines sleep trainer, night light, and Bluetooth speaker. Clear traffic light function, night light in five colors, and the ability to play lullabies, audiobooks, or white noise are highlighted as strong pluses.
- Zazu Brody – Recommended. A soft bear with a removable light and sound module in its belly, which also functions as a regular stuffed animal. With cry sensor, night light, and white noise, it suits the very youngest children from the newborn stage.
The other tested models – KidSleep Essential and KidyWolf KidyMoon – are described as fully functional alternatives, but the editorial team's conclusion is that the Zazu models have the user-friendliness and clarity that make them the obvious first choices for 2026.
Why Zazu stands out
The consistent theme in the test is that Zazu combines safety and smart, well-thought-out features – and that the models cover the entire childhood, from the baby's first nights to the school child's morning routines. It is precisely this balance between safe sleep and practical everyday help that is in Zazu's DNA.
