What first attracted me to this bassinet is the quality and overall look. It is simple and neutral. Unfortunately, I purchased this early on in my pregnancy and was not able to try it out until just this month. My experience with this bassinet hasn’t been the greatest. The additional features to help soothe baby are dull - the lights are not bright, the sounds are not loud and sound muffled, and the vibration drains the batteries quickly. My biggest complaint is the bending feature of the bassinet. When I bend to reach in to calm my newborn, she is instantly woken up again by her startle reflex when I pull my arm back out by the loud bars. Truthfully, I am wishing I went with a bassinet that just had one side that stays folded down. This bassinet was so pricy though, that I feel I am stuck with it and must use it.
