So many features to the bassinest that I am in love with! You can raise or lower the height of the bassinet easily so that is lines up with the height of your bed. I am able to swivel the the bassinest right over my bed and with the mesh sides I feel so close to my baby like we are cosleeping but baby is protected and I don't have to worry about rolling over on him in my sleep. The swivel function also allows me to move the bassinet without waking my baby. The base feels super sturdy and it is so easy to detach the bed from the base to give my baby a safe place to sleep in other rooms of the house. Also, I just like how it looks..the design is sleek and simple. The assembly was incredibly easy and took hardly any time to complete compared to other baby furniture products. This is the third bassinet I have used and by far my favorite!
