Which is better for night feedings?

The Halo. Its 360° swivel and lowering wall bring the baby over the bed, and the nightlights help you see without turning on a lamp. The Iora slides closer but has no built-in light or soothing.

Which is better for travel?

The Iora folds flat into its own travel bag. The Halo converts to a 10 lb portable nest for moving around the house, but it does not fold flat for trips.

Is the Halo worth it over the Iora?

At the listed prices the Halo is cheaper, $171.53 at eBay versus $278.76 at Wayfair as of November 6, 2026, and adds swivel, soothing and a portable nest. The Iora only wins if you need the flat fold and storage basket.

How long does each last?

Both are rated to 20 lb. Halo lists birth to 5 months or until baby pushes up; Iora says to stop when baby reaches 20 lb or can push up on hands and knees.

Do both have breathable mesh sides?

Yes. Both use mesh walls for airflow, and both have firm, flat sleep surfaces.

Which has better ratings?

The Halo rates 4.7 out of 5 from 86 ratings; the Iora rates 4.5 out of 5 from 292 ratings. The Iora has far more ratings, so its score is based on more shoppers.
