5.0 out of 5 stars Babies R Us Bassinet Pad fits this Graco Stages Crib perfectly! July 21, 2011

I bought two of these Graco Stages Travel Lite cribs for my baby -- one to use as a bassinet in our bedroom and one for naps and playtime downstairs. I chose this over the larger standard-size pack n plays because it fits through standard size doorways, which makes it so convenient to move around the house (only two of the four corners is on wheels, though, so you have to lift one end and drag it to move).

The "mattress" it comes with is a really thin and hard board, and I looked all over online to find something to make it more comfortable. Then I came across the bassinet pads made by Babies R Us -- the 31 x 18 x 1 size fits perfectly. BRU makes two sizes of bassinet pads so make sure you get the right one. The Carter's changing pad cover also fits perfectly over both mattresses as a sheet.

1.0 out of 5 stars SAFETY WARNING - PLS READ BEFORE BUYING!! August 17, 2011

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, because I too was initially really happy with this bassinet. Our brand new Notting Hill Bassinet fell apart with only a few weeks worth of use. (SEE PHOTO GALLERY!) We barely used it, followed all of the installation directions carefully, and our child was well within the weight limit. We have a 3.5 week old (now roughly 8 pounds) who actually doesn't even spend that much time in it. This morning I noticed a roughly 6 inch tear in the side stitching, which is essentially what holds the mattress of the bassinet up. The 6 plastic side straps are a bit deceiving because they are cosmetic vs. functional - in other words, there is really little holding the mattress (and your baby up) other than cloth that is stitched around the metal bars. If the stitching goes, so does the mattress. I am in the process of contacting Graco regarding this, but wanted to alert others first. This is not a cosmetic flaw. It is a potentially dangerous one. Again, I have included a photo of the damage in the image gallery. If you bought one, return it.

If you already own one, and can't return it, please keep a close eye on the stitching. Ours fell apart very suddenly.

UPDATE AS OF 9/13/11:
I was issued a full refund without question by Rubbermaid (owns Graco) for the amount I paid on Amazon. I had to provide them a receipt. They sent me a prepaid shipping label for the bassinet so they could take a look at the damage themselves. IF YOU HAVE ONE, CONTACT GRACO ASAP AND REQUEST A FULL REFUND. [...]

Good luck and happy babies!

5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good November 19, 2011

So far we are very happy with this item, which we are planning to use as a bassinet when the baby arrives. It is a nice size and 100% more sturdy than the bassinet we used with our first baby. It set up very quickly and easily and I think it will be quite easy to travel with because it is so compact. I like, too, that it is so light-weight and easy to move around the room. I was also very happy with the "mattress" that it comes with. Our full size pack n play (edie bauer) has a terrible mattress that is quite hard and barely lays flat, our son barely ever was able to sleep on it. The Graco pad is nicely padded but still firm, which is typically recommended for young babies. If anything, I don't see much of a purpose for the sun shade since I will be using it indoors. It's not adjustable so it has to be either up as pictured or pulled off the crib entirely. I think we will just be storing it away.

Sidebar: I purchased the Carter's jersey bassinet fitted sheet. They are nice and soft and fit the mattress perfectly. I was hesitant to buy the Graco brand since they seem to have such bad reviews.
