Having my baby close to me at night is very important to me. I have always nursed my child to sleep and yhen placed them in their bassinet and its nice to not have to get out bed to do this. The bassinet is placed right up again the bed so I can just reach over and put the baby in and out of their bed. The bassinet was very easy to put together and can be easily moved into another room for your convenience. The bassinet is very sturdy and has neutral colors for a boy or a girl. We use this bassinet everynight and it gives me comfort knowing my child is safe and right next to me so I can check on them through out the night. Every parent should feel this comfortable about their child sleeping as I do with this bassinet.
