We love this side sleeper bassinet, which we've now used for a month with our newborn. It's larger than average for a bassinet. We love how it secures to the bed and allows the height to be adjusted so that the top of the side opening is aligned with the bed, making it far easier to transfer baby from bed to bassinet than our previous crib/cradle/bassinet that we've used. Also allows you to rest a hand on the baby to help calm down the baby when settling to sleep.
