I love it!

There are SO many things that I love about this bassinet! To keep the review simple and easy to read, I'm just going to write them all out as a list:
The bottom can be adjusted to either rock or roll. There are casters on the bottom so you can easily move it from place to place. However, you can move the casters up so that it rests on the rocking bottom. When baby is fussy you can start rocking him!
Choose between letting baby sleep on the flat surface or inclined. The incline is just an insert that clips on top and cradles baby almost like a hammock. Since he is buckled in he will not slide down. It also has a soft head rest.
A nice large basket underneath gives plenty of out-of-sight storage space for diapers, burp cloths, etc.
Neutral colors mean I can use it for either a boy or girl if we have any more kids.
Very easy to assemble - I did it all by myself with no help from hubby! :)
It comes with a "Light Vibes" attachment that clips onto the side of the bassinet. You can play soft music or nature sounds or even turn on vibration to help baby get to sleep. It also has a dim light which is great for finding the pacifier in the dark.
The volume of the music can be adjusted up or down.
The speed of the vibration can be adjusted as well.
Both the music and vibration turn off automatically after a few minutes. I love the fact that I can turn them on at night and not have to worry about them staying on and running down the battery.
I give this product a major thumbs up for all of its practical features!

Perfect for babies with acid reflux

My son has acid reflux and will only sleep in this bassinet. It is at a perfect angle that doesn't aggravate his reflux. He screams after a few minutes of trying to sleep in his car seat, bouncy seat, swing, or flat on his back or side. However, he will sleep much better and for long periods of time in this bassinet. Thank you for making this bassinet!
My Favorite Feature: The inclined sleeper
Pros: Sturdy, Comfortable, perfect for babies with acid reflux

An All-Around Excellent Product!

This bassinet is so much more than I had expected it would be. The one I used with my first son doesn't even begin to compare to this one.
I love the look and design of it. It's neutral and elegant and would fit well with most any nursery theme. The structure is well-made and sturdy and set-up was very easy. I wasn't exactly sure about the incline sleeper before I received it but now that I've set it up, I absolutely LOVE it and fully intend to use it with my newborn. It seems like it would be great for babies with reflux since it is recommended they stay partially upright. Another thing I love about the bassinet is that it will rock or stay stationary and you can easily switch it out to do whichever you'd like. The wheels are an added plus too (and a necessity in my book), although the bottom of the base is a tad bit wider than stationary-only bassinets due to the rocker part. Even so, it still easily fits through doorways. Our former bassinet did not have a nightlight, vibrating option, or noise/music player so these features were also a big plus for me. On top of all that, the bottom of the bassinet has a large section to store baby items! This was perfect for us because we have a smaller house and need to save space in any way possible.
I couldn't be more happy with this bassinet and honestly can't think of any cons other than the bottom being a little wide. The price is great and, in my opinion, MORE than worth it!
My Favorite Feature: The Incline Sleeper!
Pros: Transportable, Sturdy, Comfortable, Stylish, easy assembly

So many great features!

It took me maybe 15 minutes to have this bassinet fully assembled - no tools required! I appreciate that it came with all of the standard features like the toy mobile, large storage basket, and mesh sides for safety. Plus, having the wheels means I can move it easily through the house and the neutral colors will match the decor of almost any nursery or out in the main space.
The unique features are really what sets this apart, as having the option to have the Incline Sleeper is wonderful to help with reflux or spit up, and it's so easy to just clip it on and off. Then being able to take 30 seconds and transition from a traditional bassinet into a rocking bassinet is a big bonus. Combine the rocking with the soothing vibration and sounds of the Light Vibes electronic unit and suddenly we can all get some sleep!
Pros: Transportable, Sturdy, Comfortable, Fits Anywhere, Stylish, versatile, high quality

Really Great Bassinet

About me: Parent
This Bassinet is full of Great features. It is great for all babies but a must for babies with reflux and or colic. It is very easy to assemble with clear directions. Took us 15-20 minutes. I love the convenient soft-glow check light and vibrations features. The basket on the bottom is very large and will hold all the things you need ( diapers, wipes, change of clothing etc). It rolls nicely and has locks to prevent rolling when desired. Wish I had this for my first child but glad it is here for my second one.
Pros: Transportable, Sturdy, Stylish

This bassinet is wonderful. It has so many wonderful features for baby. The incline sleeper can easily be taken out, when baby no longer needs it. The Light Vibes electronic unit with classical music, nature sounds, vibrations, and soft-glow check light is so nice to have. No more turning on a bright light to check on baby! I also love the storage space under the bassinet, for diapers, creams or whatever baby might need, close to hand! One last thing, is that this bassinet easily converts into a rocking bassinet, so that mom or dad can rock baby to sleep in no time!
My Favorite Feature: How easily the bassinet can convert into a rocking bassinet!
Pros: Transportable, Sturdy, Comfortable, Stylish, has great storage space under the bassinet
