I received this bassinet as a gift for my new baby. It was easy to put together, the wheels are solidly on there and do snap in if you push hard enough. My daughter absolutely loves her bassinet, and has from the day we came home from the hospital. The vibrate and music options are amazing and soothe her when nothing else will. I would recommend this product to anyone who asks.

This is a great bassinet for the price. It is not flimsy, but a thicker mattress would have been nice. I wish my baby could have used it longer than she did, but she had acid reflux, so she slept in a baby papasan chair.

To comment on the other reviewer, the wheels do snap in. At first, I thought they didn't, but you have to push them in really hard until you hear a snap. That would be ridiculous if they didn't. As for not using beyond 4 months old, I think that's probably true with most bassinets. Bassinets aren't meant for babies that can rollover. You should use a pack-n-play for older babies.

Sure it's cheaper than most other bassinets, but you get what you pay for. I found it to be acceptable. The wheels do attach and lock if you have them on right. The music is kind of loud, but the vibration part works great. My baby falls asleep with it all the time. Storage basket is sturdy and big. If you're looking for value then you get it with this.

This was an inexpensive bassinet and was definitely more than adequate. We had a lot of difficulty putting on the wheels- other than that- good product. I was sure they sent us the wrong wheels. Persistence paid off!

The bassinet was poorly made. I had previously borrowed the same model for my first child and it had worked fine. I bought it for the second, but the workmanship seems to have deteriorated. Very disappointed. I had to call Kolcraft because it was missing pieces and certain pieces didn't fit together properly. Now it functions, but in my opinion is still very flimsy.

I have to agree with the other reviewer. First, we could not get the wheels on either. My husband is a very strong, 250 lb boxer and even he could not get the wheels on no matter how hard he pushed! My dad also tried and was unsuccessful. I think it's a manufacturing defect that perhaps doesn't affect all, but some. We had to alter the bassinett in order for it to work. The second problem we had was that the support bars did not open wide enough to snap into the floor board. We solved that problem by bending the bars back further than what they were suppose to go. It's a nice looking bassinett and had it not been a gift, I would have been very upset. It will serve its purpose, however, I don't recommend it at all.

Looks very nice and neat. Bassinet is small and fits near the bed perfectly with enough room left to walk around it. There is enough room for a newborn - 3 month old baby inside the bassinet. Portable. The only thing is that the mattress doesn't seem comfortable - will probably need additional padding or a different mattress. Would recommend this product.

These bassinet is cute n cheep and that is all I can say + about it!
On other hand
- it is not very sturdy
- the wheels do not move properly ( so it is not as mobile as I wanted, I have to carry it by hands, good thing it is not too heavy .)
- it is cheap, cheap material from its wheels to its silly songs that plays
- vibration does not work that well
In conclusion you get what you pay for it, however it might be a smart choise not too pay too much for a bassinet as you only can use a bassinet, even the best one,only for 3-4 months

I bought this to have a place to put the baby in my sewing room. The safety instructions say not to use it with babies once they are 4 months. That's understandable once you find out how rickety it is. Once your baby can start rolling over, it's definitely a tip hazard. The wheels that come with just rest in the bottom legs -- they don't even snap in. They are so loose we just left them off. This bassinet is really cheaply made. Not a good purchase.

This bassinet is terrible. A total waste of money. Our baby refuses to sleep in it, she screams after only a few minutes in the bassinet. It smells funny, even after washing all of the cloth parts. There are two bars that connect the upper part of the bassinet to the base and they constantly come disconnected from the clips, making the whole unit wobbly and unsafe. The music unit volume does not seem to work very well and it is extremely loud. I am very dissatisfied with this item and want to burn it in a large bonfire.
