Please listen to this review!

I have been eying this bassinet for years actually (my daughter is 2 1/2 now) I wanted to buy it for her...everyone talked me out of it....now that I'm expecting again, I knew it was something i wanted to try.
Most of the bad reviews are wrong. period. Hate to say it but the people writing the bad reviews either didn't read the description...or they refused to actually look at the product before they took it back.
here is the truth:
-The handle does come down. like some said, the buttons are covered up by the fabric.
- The Bassinet is height adjustable...6 levels!
-The changing table is hard...but honestly my baby isn't gonna nap on it... it takes 5 min max to change a diaper, It works for it purpose. (the changer is super easy to wipe off!)
-The Moses basket DOES clip into the sides of the stand
- The mattress is perfect for a newborn...especially with the firmness standards in effect now. Its cushier than i thought it would be.
-Lots of people had trouble with the electronics....Mine worked fine, however if yours don't work...call the manufacture FIRST. They are friendly and helpful
-This model has NO pockets in the ruffle...(this is why i called the manufacturer)
-The bassinet is very stable...If yours isn't, re trace your steps and look at the assembly.
-Assembly was not the funnest experience...however you only assemble it once...it was not that bad.
-The sheet is washable, the rest is not. But its easy enough to spot clean, and the Moses basket folds for storage, so that would keep it cleaner....i will probably store mine in a big trash bag to keep it clean.
- Its a little less girlie and more gender neutral than I thought. which is good, I'm having a boy.

I have a Maxi Cosi play yard and the Moses basket sets in the bassinet part of it perfectly. This made me so happy because my baby can sleep inclined if he needs it, and the canopy offers sun protection, and best of all my baby is safe from my 2 other monkeys. LOL
Overall this gets 5 stars from me, I couldn't be happier!

Easy to assembly, though directions are not wrote well. Does not have bows or pockets on side of changing table as shown and described. I love that the moses basket folds flat, will be a great feature for overnight trips to take along.

There are no pockets like stated and putting the instructions in a easy to find place would be nice; mine were in with the bed part and I had to download the instructions in order to put the bassinet together. but other than that it is a good purchase and love the rocking feature.

It wasn't quite as easy to put together as I initially thought but that's fine because when it was all done I have no concerns about it falling apart. The finished product is a beautiful bassinet I cannot wait to put my baby girl in.

JUNK!!!

I was so disappointed with this!! It does NOT look anything like the cute little picture. The bed part where the baby lays was lumpy and not sturdy. It was just bad all the way around. I can't believe this thing got so many good reviews - which is why I bought it. I returned it, and got something way better.. It wasn't cheap, but it's going to be my little baby's bed, so a piece of junk like this thing wasn't gonna work.

I did not like the thin pad that came with the bassinet. It made the bassinet really hard. Also it always seemed to tilt to one side so I had to put things underneath the removable basket so my baby wouldn't lean to one side.

Great bassinet, but fabric not machine washable

I love the bassinet, especially the vibration it makes. It has soothed my baby to sleep many times. I never use the changer because it's just easier to change her on my bed rather than pull the whole top off to do it, but I guess that part is nice if you need it. My complaint about it is that you cannot machine wash it... so I will not be keeping it for another possible child. The fabric cannot be removed. It is very cute and works well but only good for 1 time use and will have to give away because it would be too dirty to use again.

I bought this as a gift for my son & daughter in law they have a new baby on the way... after carefully reviewing all the ratings online I found this to be the best available, then I found Walmart was comparable to everyone's price plus shipping was .97 cents! So when the kids got this delivered to their door they were pleasantly surprised. It met all of their needs the quality and appearance was spectacular... it has many features including nite light, music vibration and it can rock if you choose to rotate the wheels. This is a must have for a newborn in the house it is a very versatile product.. LOVE IT!!!!

We are not due until June, but we thought we would go ahead and buy this and put it together early. Good grief, putting this thing together is enough to send a pregnant woman over the edge. Now it is together, and there are a lot of parts to learn. Maybe a 5 in 1 was just too much. I think 3 in 1 might have been good enough?
As for usefulness, I wont know for a few months...

I am a soon to be first time mom so naturally I wanted the best lf the best for my newborn. I ordered this bassinet not even considering that my son will only make use of the hundred dollar contraption for a couple months at the most. When it arrived, I put it together amd found that it was very wide. It is difficult to get through doorways without skilledmaneuvering. The worst part is it is extremely heavy. The thought of carrying around a fifteen pound portable bassinet plus the weight of the infant is no longer appealing for me. I like that it has a small night light that does not shine in the babys eyes, but it is bright on my eyes. The sounds it makes are sort of muffled and the vibrating option is worthless. It makes the top ring of the bassinet shake, not the bassinet itself so I doubt a baby is going to be soothed by something it doesnt feel. Overall my biggest complaint though is just how much it weighs. Considering the materials provided to build it with, I wouldnt have thought it would be so heavy.

After searching for just the right bassinet I fell in love with this one. When I had my son it was so easy to put him in the bassinet and move him from the living room to the bedroom with no problem. I love the light and he loved the vibrations and sounds. I kept him in it as long as possible so he could be by my bedside but not in my bed. I definitely recommend it!

Cute and comfortable for baby

One thing that is great about it is it's a neutral color for either gender,
so both my son and daughter were able to use it. I also found it to be much cuter than most bassinets.
My babies loved the music and vibration feature, the only thing my husband and I found annoying about it was after about 10 minutes it would shut off and the baby would still be awake so it would start to cry when it stopped. We'd have to get back up and push the button for it to go off a second time and that usually did the trick and the baby would be asleep by then.
Even though we used the music and vibration a lot the batteries lasted forever.
I liked that the top of the bassinet detached from the bottom so I could pack it for trips or moving the baby around the house.
I found it easy to put together on my own.
The basket underneath is a nice area to store things like swaddling blankets, diapers, etc.
The back can be adjusted so it rises up some which is great if your baby has gas (like my firstborn) and needs to be propped up once in a while for relief.
The back is made of mesh so if the baby pushes it's way up it will still get plenty of air. This is great for nervous Mom's out there who want the baby to be safe.
The whole bassinet is very sturdy as well.
I would just suggest make sure you put batteries in it and test out the electronic features to ensure they work BEFORE you set up the whole thing. I didn't have any problems with my bassinet working, but I would recommend doing this as with any electronic baby or child's item.

* Easy to assemble if YOU pay attention to ALL instructions....I assembled it in 30 min...

Love that it can be used as both the bassinet and changing table and the storage area is very helpful and lets it be your one stop shop at night. My baby loves the vibrations and sounds. The light is very useful and gentle so it doesn't hurt your or baby's eyes at night. Being able to carry just the bassinet portion is also very convenient to transport sleeping baby. The wheels on the bassinet also accomplish that. In addition. the bassinet has a setting that you can place the wheels up and rock the bassinet, this puts my little guy right to sleep. The color and pattern are very nice and work with any decor.
