Product Description

Editorial Review
With three sleep options (portable sleeper, bassinet, bedside sleeper); a play seat with vibrations, music, and sound effects; and changing table, this five-in-one bassinet is a boon for any parent of a newborn. The bassinet rocks or locks into place, and features a backrest that inclines to ease congestion (those tiny nostrils do get clogged up!), an air-flow sleep area, and a cotton/polyester sheet and bassinet cover. The portable sleeper allows busy parents to carry sleeping baby from room to room, folds easily for travel, adjusts for sleep or play, and includes a safety harness for security. The bedside sleeper is wonderful for exhausted mommies and daddies who want to feed and soothe their infant without getting out of bed. It attaches securely to the parental bed and has five height positions. The changing table provides a separate changing surface from sleep area. Handy pockets keep diapering supplies close by, and the easy-to-clean vinyl cover is a no-brainer. Music and nature sounds soothe baby, along with gentle vibrations and a soft-glow nightlight. There’s even a cute mobile to entertain a wakeful baby. Four AA batteries required (not included). Discontinue use when baby reaches 17.5 pounds or is highly mobile. --Emilie Coulter

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Price, September 1, 2005

By	oneloved (Oregon) - See all my reviews

I've used this strictly as a bassinet next to our bed, and it has been fantastic. The best feature is the night light, which enables me to check on my baby in the middle of the night and nurse her without waking up her or my husband. It goes out on it's own in case you fall asleep without turning it off, which is very convenient and saves the batteries. I also love the versatility of folding up the wheels so it can rock like a cradle if I want. I haven't used the changing table portion at all. Though we did carry her in the removeable carrier once or twice, it was too large and cumbersome to be very convenient, so now I just use a Pack'n Play in the other room instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars It fits through our average to small size doorways! , March 17, 2005

By	Kimberly E. Wright "K" (East Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great purchase, easy to assemble, I did it by myself in about a .5 hour with just a phillips screw driver. It's easy to move from room to room.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for every new mom!, March 24, 2005

By	A. Barros (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased this bassinet for our second child because our bedrooms are on different levels of our house. We keep the entire unit next to the bed and use it all the time. I love the bassinet portion because of the gentle vibration setting as well as the sounds and music options.

I too found that the base of the unit does not fit through the standard doorway so I move the bassinet section from room to room when needed for naps.

I have added two extras to make this even more useful for our newborn. I have added an extra pad with a sleep positioner on it as well as attaching a mirror (that would be used in the backseat of the car) to the handle in a position that allows me to see the baby when I am laying in bed. Our bed must be lower than most as the bassinet sits higher (even on the lowest position).

After just a few weeks use I wish I would have had this with my first child and am greatful I found it for our use now.
