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

Customer Reviews

Great for the Price
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.

Too good to be true
I was so excited about this bassinet. I have a 2 story and a toddler and this was ideal to be able to move the baby around the house when doing chores or to tuck her in her nursery when she falls asleep so my toddler wont wake her. Upon inspecting it though I found it to be unsafe for a household with other small children. Although there is a restraint system in the bassinet to hold baby there is nothing holding the bassinet to the frame except gravity. I cant trust that my toddler wont peer over the edge tipping the whole carrier off the frame. Other bassinets have straps on the frame that snap around the frame of the bed holding it in place. This maybe great for people without other children but honestly Im suprised they get away without lawsuits since another child could so quickly and easily accidentally flip the carry bed right off the frame. :(

It fits through our average to small size doorways!
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.
