The First Years Carry-Me-Near 5-in-1 Sleep System is a portable sleeper, bassinet, bedside sleeper, play seat and changing table all in one convenient product! The three sleep modes allow you to keep your sleeping baby close to you wherever you go. Thanks to the ergonomically designed handle, you can confidently carry your sleeping baby from room to room in the Portable Sleeper. Built directly into the handle are battery-operated gentle vibrations, five peaceful audio selections and a nightlight. You can also put your baby down in the full-sized Bassinet that features a sturdy base that you can rock back and forth or lock into place. For added convenience, you can easily convert the Bassinet into a Bedside Sleeper that securely attaches to the adult bed, allowing you to feed and comfort your baby without having to get out of bed. When you need to change your baby's diaper in the middle of the night, the easy-to-clean, vinyl covered changing table offers a separate surface from the sleep area. And when you just want a secure, comfortable place for your young baby to play, the Portable Sleeper becomes a Play Seat complete with fun plush characters that dangle from the canopy.

Not Great
We bought this bassinet after the one we had was recalled! I did extra research to make sure this one was safe. Well, it may be safe but it's certainly not comfortable for parent or baby. The metal bars on the sides of the bassinet (the legs for when the bassinet is portable) are not padded so the baby can hit them and hurt themself when they are kicking or moving around; the "seat belt" is not removeable and is placed where baby sleeps. If you're not belting them in for their sleep then they are sleeping on top of the cumbersome belt - very uncomfortable!; The sleeping pad is too soft and bends in the middle - very uncomfortable; The bassinet is too high for our bed - and we have a very tall bed. Although the legs are adjustable they don't adjust enough; The carry arm is difficult to release (I'd be frustrated if I was trying to adjust this at night); The sleeping area is very small (much smaller than the other bassinet we had); The bassinet sits inside the stand as opposed to attaching to it. I didn't think that would be a problem (I read another person's review about that) until I put it together and I see that it's not as "snug" as it should be for safety's sake; and, finally, I believe, now that I see it, that there is NO REASON for there to be a changing pad on this bassinet. It just makes the whole contraption bulky, uncomfortable, and unsafe! A bassinet should be for sleeping only.
I will be dismantling this bassinet and returing it immediately!

Very Nice Bassinet with a lot of Features
I purchased this bassinet for my sister-in-law. It looks nice and has a lot of features. The color is more of an ivory with a little beige design in the fabric. It will mesh with any decor.

Fancy options don't work very well. Not worth the money.
My daughter slept in this bassinet from birth to around 4 or 5 months. She never had a problem sleeping in it. There is a comfortable pad for her, a night light for checkups in the middle of the night, and a vibrator feature. That said, this thing annoyed my husband and I so much, we cursed it almost daily! The vibrator feature seemed to have a mind of its own - if it felt like it, it would go on, if not, we were out of luck. I put this item on our registry because I was looking forward to being able to carry around the top from room to room and to wheel it around when necessary. Well, the top weighs a ton when there's a sleeping baby in it, so I didn't even try to lift it as I was recovering from my c-section. And the wheels seem to only want to go forward and backward, so when I would move it around the room (which I had to do every day) I had to shove it with all of my might to turn it. All in all, it was way too much money for the limited use of all of the fancy options that you pay for. A stationary bassinet with no removable top would have been just as good, and a lot cheaper.

Good Bassinet
My daughter comfortably slept in this for 12 weeks before we had to move her to something larger because she liked to sleep sideways. At the time, we were living in a small space waiting for our house to be built and it was a great spacesaver. We used the changing table portion for her sponge baths and it worked great. The bottom storage was her laundry basket. We never carried around the bassinet portion, it's a bit too bulky. Overall, I would recommend this, especially to those in small spaces.

ABSOLUTE BEST PRODUCT OUT THERE!
This bassinet has been a lifesaver for our household! The ease of portability has been a dream. The changing table feature right there anytime we need it. Baby loves her little light, music and vibrations. Storage basket in bottom is perfect size for numerous diapers, outfits, blankets, etc...
If you can only buy one baby item - buy this one!

This was the best gift i ever received
I got this as a gift from my sister when my son was 21 days old and it has been so useful. My parents used to watch my son during the day, when we were at work, and My son spent a lot of time in it, so my parents din't always have to be in our bedroom, where we put the crib. my son loved the music, the lights and the toys. we loved the extra large storage space, as i could put all his stuff in there, extra diapers, wipes, blankets, his toys.. pretty much everything. din't use the changing table a lot, but did like it the few times i used it. the fact that we could move it around or rock it was an added bonus. even after my son was about 6-8 months old, we used his play seat to feed him some times, when he din't feel like sitting at the dining table. All in all this was the best gift i ever received

It's worth every penny spent!
We appreciated this easy-to-assemble product, which took one person
less than half an hour to put together. It is very versatile and can be used for a girl or a boy. We liked the nightlight rdature, which offered a handy way to keep baby's sleeping area gently lit. The soothing lullabies, nature sounds and vibrations helped to lull my little one to sleep. I could rock my son back to sleep not only without getting up,
but even without as much as lifting my head from the pillow. And when I wanted to get some more uninterrupted sleep in the morning, my husband was able to take him in the Portable Sleeper to another room.
This sleeping system is one of the best available on the market today.
It's worth every penny spent!

Cumbersome and poorly made
First of all this bassinette is a pain to get through standard doorways and ours is a relatively new house. You have to angle it going through a doorway. Also its rocking legs get in the way. It's hard not to stumble on them. The changing table is a pain to use. You have to remove the bed to get to it. The bed is not secured by anything. Don't raise the frame to the highest setting or it will tip over if the wheels are not locked in place. The "mattress" is very thin and needs extra padding if you want your baby to be comfy in it. We had to add lots of extra padding in ours in order not to feel the hard split board in the bottom. You can't find extra mattress covers that will work unless you get rid of that terrible belt that is part of the pad. We got rid of that in ours. The music/vibrator/light did not work at first so we kept fiddling with the battery pack and eventually got it working but that took longer than the actual assemble of the bassinette. Also the hood would not stay propped up on its own either.
We saw many at Babies-r-Us, where we bought it, that the boxes looked like they were previously opened. We bought one that had no signs of tampering. Thankfully all the parts were there but we should have realised why there so many previously opened boxes.
It may look nice but "don't judge something by how it looks".
Avoid buying this thing. We've seen better bassinettes out there after seeing this thing's faults. Too bad its too late to return this awful bassinette.

Helpful
My husband and I got a lot of use from this bassinet.
I like that the bassinet comes off of the stand and is portable. My daughter seem to enjoy the music/sounds built into the handle along with a night light which was handy. It was also nice to have the additional storage under the bassinet.
We did not like the mattress that was included with the bassinet so we bought a new one that was not so flimsy. The feet/castors on the stand seem to be in our way so we ended up not using the stand as much, I tripped over them a couple of times if the bassinet was not against a wall.
