Love this bassinet
My daughter loves this bassinet and sleeps in it most every night. Remember, babies are small, and she has no issues with the mattress. I had a different bassinet for my first daughter, and they are all about the same thickness. It fits standard bassinet sheets just fine. I thought that the mobile would be boring, but my daughter loves to stare up at it. If the light is on, there are colored shapes that rotate as well. It moves easily, and I've pulled it with the brakes on before (by accident). Converts easily to a rocker, which is helpful if you want to rock a baby back to sleep. The voice on the lullabies is identical to the one on my other daughter's lullaby CD and I find it very pleasant. I love the nature sounds, in fact I often use the crickets and waves to help me go to sleep! I fits in with any decor easily. Get some extra sheets and you should be fine.

Great bassinet!
This bassinet was a very good purchase. I initially bought it for its rocking option although I have rarely used it.
- The wheels of the bassinet make it easy to push around in the house. The only drawback is that the brakes are sometimes on due to the rocking system that goes down.
- The mobile is very nice: the music is ok and very soothing for baby. Her favourite were the nature sounds that are really very soft. Only annoying was the singing lady! The bears are cute, although white and they do not turn too fat so baby can follow. The best is the light, especially at night so you do not need to turn on a very bright light. The vibrating mode worked well for 2 months and then slowly died. It was very soothing for baby, but used the batteries very fast.
- The rocking mode is a useful option is needed
- The basket is very big and can hold many things: blankets, toys...
- One very important thing is to get another mattress because the one provided is definitely too thin and not appropriate for baby

All in all: very good purchase and I will be using it until the age limit: 3 months. Definitely useful to be able to keep baby close-by when she wakes up at night. Recommended!

Awesome Bassinet !!!!!! Absolutely love it !!
This is an excellent bassinet.
Positives are:
1) Very sturdy (important to us because we have a wild 2-year-old boy running around the house) and very difficult to knock over.

2) The mobile is awesome!! It has lights, sounds from nature, nursery rhymes, classical music and the vibration feature. If you install the mobile snugly and correctly, the vibration does not give a loud sound. Also, if you don't like the teddy bears, you can replace them with any other toys since they are looped in with velcro.

3)We liked the option of either having the base on a rocker or steady casters.

4) The storage basket underneath is handy for diapers, blankets and toys.

5) The bassinet basket comes off the base. This is a handy feature for travel. Our baby still has a familiar place to sleep when we go out of town.

6) On the whole the bassinet was very easy to put together. We almost bought the Simplicity 4-in-1 bassinet, but after reading the terrible reviews it had, we picked this one. I'm so glad we did. It was the right choice.

7) The mobile is also portable i.e. you can use it on a crib once you no longer use the bassinet.

Only drawbacks are:
1) the superthin mattress pad (what makes it worse is that there are two thin metal bars just below the pad, and I can feel the bars thru the mattress pad). You can fix this by either getting a better pad or putting a quilt under this mattress.

2) The color. White is beautiful, but it has a tendency to look dirty very fast, and cleaning can be a hassle because the fabric on the canopy is not detachable. The fabric around the bassinet does come off, but is attached to the plastic base, so it would need to be hand-washed. I fixed this problem by adding a colored fabric border along the edges of the cloth.

3) The mobile teddy bears are white. Rather boring. I fixed this by drawing a black shape on each bear (drew a triange, square and circle with a black permanent marker and colored the paws black as well). It takes 5 mins to do , and makes the mobile much more interesting for a newborn since they like black and white images.

4) The rocker option is nice, but if you plan to move this bassinet often from room to room, it is a pain to keep switching back and forth between casters and rocker.

5) If the mobile is not installed properly, it makes a loud sound when you enable the vibration.

6) The batteries on the mobile run out fairly quickly.
