I got this for my sister who just had a baby. I thought it would be handy for her to have the baby closer to her until he got a little older. She LOVES it. She said it fits right up against the bed, and is super easy for her when he wakes up at night. She told me "I wish I had one of these for all the kids". She has since recommended it to all her pregnant friends. I know two have already purchased from the Bassinest brand.
