    Bought this as a gift for someone. She said she liked it and baby looked like he enjoyed himself in it Apr 13, 2024

  • It's a pretty basic bassinet but I did like how it rocked back n forth to soothe baby. It was convenient bc it set right next to my bed. I put two mattresses in it to lift baby higher. Mar 01, 2024

  • I liked this bassinet but i didnt use it for very long. My son went into his crib within the first month. I did like the vibration and the sounds but felt that it turned off too quickly. Feb 05, 2024

  • My baby wouldn’t sleep in this. But then again she wouldn’t sleep in other bassinets either. This one took up quite a bit of space though in our condo. Nov 07, 2023

  • The footprint on this bassinet is a bit large (the metal bar on the bottom goes all the way around) and it makes it difficult to move around, but as a bedside bassinet that doesn’t move, it works! Jul 06, 2023

  • My baby love this bassinet.. vibration and music sooth my baby ..only the bad thing it is battery operated i wish it plugged in as batteries drain to fast Jun 12, 2023

  • W love that it vibrates and would sooth our little one. The lullaby feature was also very nice. Mar 17, 2023

  • My baby LOVED this bassinet. The vibration and built in sound machine saved my sanity. My only complaint was that it’s large and didn’t come as close to my bed as I would have liked Feb 18, 2023

  • This was okay but did not line up with my bed and I wish I would've purchased a bassinet that was easier to get baby in and out of. We tried the different vibrations/sounds and they didn't work for us Jul 29, 2022

  • My daughter really liked this bassinet since birth! The ability it has to play music and vibrate was great it really helped soothe her. She was only able to use it until around 3 months. Jun 07, 2022

  • Works pretty well! The only complaint I have is that I wish the music/vibrate feature stayed on for longer. Jun 05, 2022

  • This was perfect for my newborns! It was also big enough to fit them both. They were only 4lbs each. May 11, 2022

  • This bassinet is great. It rocks as has been very helpful in putting our little one to sleep. The light is just enough to see, but not too bright to wake a baby up. Mar 07, 2022

  • Loved this product! It has a light that glows on the ceiling and it vibrates and sings! Feb 18, 2022

  • We loved this bassinet. Our baby loved the vibrations and they eased her to sleep many nights. I only wished it was a bight lighter so it was easier for one person to move around. Dec 10, 2021

  • Not a soothing motion at all. More like a jerky, wake up the baby motion. Oct 02, 2021

  • I do not regret buying it. I loved the swinging option. It definitely gave me extra time for sleep. But I definitely won’t be reusing it Aug 18, 2021

  • A lot of soothing options. It is a cute bassinet. The downfall was it is battery operated. Would prefer it to plug in. Jun 02, 2021

  • We used this for our first but didn't bother to save it. It is very hard and the the motion/sounds turns off after 30 minutes which always woke the baby. Served the purpose, but not amazing. Apr 14, 2021

  • I thought this was cute however my little one refused to sleep in it Apr 03, 2021

  • This has worked well for us and my little one. We keep it by our bed. I like that it has white noise, nightlight, and vibration included on it. Mar 19, 2021

  • I did not like this at all. Because of the swaying motion my son rolled all around in it and would end up rolling into the mesh sides, it did not feel stable at all. He never slept in it either. Mar 18, 2021

  • we love it, I just wish the height could be adjusted since our bed is up high. Mar 17, 2021

  • Loved this bassinet! The vibrating was a lifesaver during those first few months. I also love the nightlight for those middle of the night feedings. It’s also not bulky at all and fit great by the bed Dec 23, 2020

  • My baby slept in this bassinet until she was about 5 months old. I love the removable sound/vibration/light machine on the side. The machine is now in my baby's room and we play the music at bed time. Dec 07, 2020

  • We let ours go to a new home after our second. Although I didn't hate it, I would not buy it again. It is not travel friendly and it hard to move. Our boy could careless about the features on it. Oct 27, 2020

    Haven't had the chance to use it yet. Was given to me by a friend. Seems sturdy and nice but not really cushioning. Will update again. Oct 18, 2020

  • its really great in a compact space. I got this as a hand-me-down and we used it with my last baby for about 8 months until she started pulling up. love it. love the music. the stars. the vibrating. Oct 02, 2020

  • Pro:moves side to side, back and forth or in a kind of circular motion, light turns on gradually, mesh sides, white noise or music options, vibration.Con:wish volume could be louder and stay on longer Sep 09, 2020

  • Love love love! My son sleeps in this every night. We turn on music and vibrations. Has a place underneath to store blankets, diapers, etc. Only wish the mobile moved with a motor. Aug 22, 2020

    This is a very nice bassinet. Unfortunately the pad is made of plastic. My daughter woke up several nights due to being very warm/sweaty. Jul 30, 2020

  • Bought this used and happy I did because baby didn’t love how it moved every time he moved Jun 27, 2020

  • Bought this for my niece but my son would use it when we visited. They both loved the lullabys and vibrating features. May 27, 2020

  • Good sturdy construction. Like the rocking ability, helps to put baby to sleep. The vibration is also a great feature. Only issue i have is the mattress pad even with the sheets are cold. Apr 24, 2020

  • I can’t recommend this bassinet enough!!! I love that you can sway the bassinet to help soothe baby. Also love the vibrate and sounds options. So happy with this purchase. Apr 24, 2020

  • Pros: white noise/ music & vibrating feature help soothe baby to sleep, sleek. Cons: mattress is hard and uncomfortable to sleep on, light doesn’t seem to get baby’s attention to help with soothing. Apr 06, 2020

  • The vibrating feature is nice. We have a separate sound machine so we don’t use the sounds much. The swaying tends to be rough when baby moves so I have it strapped to limit motion. Decent bassinet Apr 04, 2020

  • This was great for the first couple of months that my baby needed it. Good price, really liked the noises and the starry lights, my baby liked staring at them. Mar 28, 2020

  • Great for first 3-5 months. Loved the vibration, the nightlight, and ability to gently rock/glide. Perfect t for beside the bed. Mar 15, 2020

  • Great and conveniently connected to smart phone thru the app Mar 11, 2020

  • Super cute, and I really liked the nightlight and vibration features, as did my little one. Not too large for a bedroom. Jan 08, 2020

  • Love, love, love this bassinet. Our babe loved sleeping in this. I really liked the ability to rock it as needed, it has a vibrate feature, and the night light allowed me to see during night feedings. Jan 04, 2020

  • My son did not seem to like this he would not sleep in it for more than 10 minutes. Maybe because of the movement, he didn't feel secure? Jan 03, 2020

  • We don't really use this ever. The padding is so thin. The vibration scares baby and it doesn't move on it's own. The lights are a good feature. Should have spent a little more and got a different one Jan 02, 2020

  • This Is a nice bassinet however, the vibration didn’t work like I had hoped and every time my baby moved the bassinet would move as well sometimes disturbing him at times. Jan 01, 2020

  • Used this for my niece and I always felt she was safe and she slept so wonderfully in this bassinet! Love the music and light options. Would recommend! Dec 04, 2019
