what parents are saying
I can’t recommend this enough. In the early days, my baby needed the reassurance that the newborn insert offered. It’s tougher to see through the mesh, but I was more confident that she was safe. (Aug 21, 2019)

This insert was nice for the early days. Wouldn't call it a necessity but was nice to have in our bassinest. It helped keep our little guy in one spot and feeling snug. Feb 27, 2024

used this with my firstborn! it was nice for the newborn stage Sep 23, 2023
Love that it keeps my daughter on her back in the bassinet, and helps me sleep better for sure Aug 28, 2023

I think it was the best feature about this bassinet. However, I preferred a different bassinet overall Jul 15, 2023

My girl didn't seem to like this insert but it made me a little more comfortable that she wouldn't roll into a corner. Jul 03, 2023

Baby absolutely loved this! Was the only way she’d sleep without contact as a newborn. Jun 14, 2023

Perfect for our daughter when she was a newborn. Kept her snuggled and cozy. She started sleeping 6 hour stretches at about 4 weeks and this helped! Jun 24, 2022

Another great halo product! This held my baby in the bassinet until he was a little bigger, and he slept so great in it. It prevented him from rolling over. Mar 26, 2022

Not a game changer for our little one. I actually took it off to wash is and never replaced it. It didn’t snuggle her as I expected it to and I like being able to see her while laying down. Jul 06, 2021

my son was small so this kept him snug. it was given to me though, so unsure if i wouldve purchased myself Jun 21, 2021

Bought to use with the halo bassinet. Insert is small and hard to clip on the sides. We ended up not using it and just swaddling Baby. May 13, 2021

Baby easily rolls in this and can get stuck with face against the side during sleep. Did not feel it was safe. Removed it after 1 nap when baby rolled and got stuck. Has a lot of slack Nov 17, 2020

This is a must have for small, light babies as our little guy kept sliding towards the side. This solved it and we didn’t have any issues Sep 05, 2020

This was a must have for my newborn, but the fit wasn’t great, and it was way too expensive Jun 06, 2020
- Courtney E.

The idea of this is great, however it did not help my little one sleep any better. It was a waste of money. Jan 01, 2020

I really couldn't tell that this made much difference. Our Halo and newborn insert were gifts but looking back, I think we would have managed just as well without the insert. Dec 18, 2019

So unsafe for sleep I don’t know how this is still on the market! Please use the halo without this insert in it as it can really harm your baby! Dec 04, 2019

Loved it for my preemie baby. Nov 20, 2019

Tried to buy this for my first daughter when she was not liking the bassinet. It made no difference and I do not like that it is not opaque. Nov 06, 2019

The baby was thrilled with this product.i tried several times then took it out. Oct 23, 2019

I loved this for our newborn. It doesn’t hug her and you can’t see through it. But it is easy to wash, install and uninstall. I know she is safe and I felt like she slept well with it installed. Sep 25, 2019
- Calla H.
Newburgh, Indiana
I feel like it helped my newborn sleep more soundly than just being placed in the bassinet. She always seemed so cozy. However she was long and outgrew it sooner than the benefit of it would have last Sep 10, 2019
- Lindsay B.
Oswego, Illinois
It didn't fit as snug as I would have liked and don't know that it made any difference? Just more pieces to worry about and harder to see through to check on baby Aug 29, 2019

My newborn hated the bassinest until we got this! Helped him sleep much longer stretches. Just wish it was included in the bassinet itself! Jun 18, 2019

Wanted to love this and wanted it to make a difference but unfortunately it did not. Also, my son spits up every night I would have to wash this every day. Jun 07, 2019

I purchased this insert for our second child and think it made a difference helping our newborn nap/sleep quicker in a bed. May 30, 2019
- Hannah K L.

My LO would not sleep in her bassinest until we got this insert. It doesn't really "hug" all that much but it got her out of the rock and play. Bummer that this isn't included with the bassinest. Apr 06, 2019
- Demi Y.

I don’t know if this helps my baby sleep longer but he enjoys sleeping in this when he does! I like it bc it is approved and made for safe sleep unlike other sleeping options Jan 20, 2019

Bought this because the idea was brilliant. Unfortunately it was very hard to put on the bassinet and it was ehh. Not worth the money Jan 16, 2019

I bought this and used it once - you can't see through the sides so it's kind of pointless when you need to check on the baby in the middle of the night. Jan 09, 2019
- Christina K.

I didn't find this to be needed and found my newborn always shifted to the front side of the insert. Nov 28, 2018

Waste of money. Didn’t provide any more comfort to baby and could not see baby through mesh sides. Nov 13, 2018
- Sara O.

My newborn could roll onto his side and son this product made me anxious as his face would press up against the sides. Sep 21, 2018
Needed this to make my baby cozy for the first few months. Cuddles the infant and makes them feel safe. Aug 20, 2018

I think the cuddler is a great addition to this bassinet. Helped my son feel more secure when he was a tiny(ish) newborn. I would recommend it. May 30, 2018
- Amanda U.

I think this may have helped? Not sure. Didn’t make the bassinest that much more snug. Love the bassinest itself but this is on the “maybe” list - certainly not a necessity Jan 24, 2018

My four month old isn't the greatest sleeper, however he does sleep well at night thanks to this! It's the only way he will sleep laying flat. Such a life saver! Aug 18, 2017
- Alison K.
Tinley Park, Illinois
This was great for keeping baby snug during first few weeks. However, item itself is not well-made for the money (hard to wash, fabric pilled). I also feel it should be included with the bassinet. Jun 20, 2017

Not snug enough to make enough of a difference in baby’s sleep. But also can’t bring myself to use this because of the increased risk of SIDS using a product like this. (A sleep positioned). Jun 05, 2020

Unfortunately I see no added benefit. There is also no one way viewing as the product description says. This was a waste and I was sorely disappointed. Sep 06, 2019

Great in theory to "hug" your baby, however, it did not add any additional comfort to my baby. It lays very low and flat and the sides did not seem to touch my baby as intended. Sep 07, 2018
- Sarah W.

Thought this would help my baby sleep flat...nope. She still hate it. Tended to roll on side. Easy to place on the bassinet. Mar 05, 2018

But that's because my baby wasn't really sleeping and I thought this would help and it didn't so I returned it. Sep 08, 2017
