Sleepy Train: Calm Bedtime vs Headspace

Choose Headspace if: you want mindfulness for the whole family, your child is 5 or older, and you will use the adult content too — the kids section is bundled in, so the subscription earns its keep across everyone.

Choose Sleepy Train if: your child is 2-6, you want bedtime specifically rather than general mindfulness, and you would rather pay once than hold a subscription for the years a toddler takes to become a school child.
