5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.Although this bassinet is sometimes billed as a safe alternative to co-sleeping, it's also just a fabulous option for mainstreamers. Breastfeeding is wonderful, but it's also hard work - anything you can do to make it more convenient for mom is a great thing!I bought this for use with my newborn son. To me, wanting to keep him close at night was very instinctive, but I wanted to ensure a safe way of doing it and a way that would eventually facilitate an easy-ish transition to crib sleeping.I especially wanted to be able to have easy access to him during the night so that he could nurse. This bassinet makes nighttime nursing as unobtrusive as possible. I hear my son as he wakes up and begins lightly fussing, and can get him out before he can escalate to crying. I grab him, nurse him, and put him back to bed without really waking up at this point (extremely helpful when he decides to nurse nearly every hour because of a growth spurt!). I can easily see if he's making noises in his sleep versus awake and fussing - saves me a trip out of bed. The close proximity also gave me peace of mind in the beginning because I could check his breathing!We have two dogs who sleep on my husband's side of the bed; the co-sleeper makes me feel like my baby is separate from them and safe (they're great dogs, but I prefer to err on the side of caution).We use the leg extenders, which do as they say. They do make it slightly less stable, but I feel totally confident that the construction is solid. The wheels on one end are a nice touch.When setting up the bassinet, be sure to step down hard on all the sides - they're stiff and can easily be mistaken for locked when they're not.This bassinet does not collapse easily. We didn't buy it for that purpose, but it's still of note. I tried to collapse it for the first time last week to go to my parents' house and I felt like I was wrestling a bear! I had to watch a video online to get an idea of how to even do it. I'm hopeful that it might get easier the more I do it.The mattress is definitely hard, but it's supposed to be. My little guy doesn't seem to mind!It's handy that there are pockets on each end and I love the large storage compartment underneath. We keep extra sheets, extra leg extenders, an extra boppy cover, and more in there and there's tons of room to spare.I like the tan dot, it blends into our room and doesn't seem to take up a lot of space.Overall, a great option for babies and for saving parents getting out of bed repeatedly to get a baby when they're exhausted. Will continue to use this with my son until he grows out of it and plan to save it in hopes of baby number 2 in a few years.
