This is great for infants. This doesn't take up much space and great to have the baby right at eye level. The mattress is flat and firm, the sides are breathable and you can collapse the side so you have full access to baby. It has adjustable height so it will fit most beds. I wish they were something on the side for wipes and diapers. The colors are great and baby sleeps well. We love this and looking forward to using with future babies.
