Why doesn't by bassinet lock in position
102294
Is weird, when u attach the bassinet automatic snap and is ready to use to remove it you have to press both buttons n each side to release it but u cannot remove it without pressing that, so if you attach the bassinet and it doesnt stay there mean you can take it out without pressing nothing, is something wrong.

If u mean that u can push one end of the bassinet up and down, it's normal. But the basisnet shouldn't come off without prerssing the two buttons on both sides of the frame.

It doesn't lock completely so that when u stroll the bassinet rocks a little. It's soothing for the baby.

It does.. Maybe you got a messed up one.. And can u be more specific about the locked in position you are talking about? Thanks

It does lock in place. The line wraps around a "hook" on the bottom that keeps the line from slipping. I have not had problems with the line sagging thus far.

No, you can't lock it but the mechanism isn't a traditional rocking cradle. It is more of a very gentle sway that only moves subtlety when baby stirs.

It doesn't. The bassinet is $200 more Don't purchase this product, is expensive, extremely heavy and bad quality.

I don't know. This was a gift to my niece and she didn't mention anything about it but thanked me. She did use it on a bassinet but I don't recall the brand

mine latches and stays put just fine, there must be an issue with that one.

Hi there. We had the same issue! There is a small "button" on one of the legs (at the edge of the bed part) that you press . It's the same one that's SUPPOSED to click to lock it into place (had some difficulties w/one of ours). It isn't obvious since it kind of blends in with all the other black plastic hardware. Hope this helps. Have a blessed week! :) | db, charlotte nc | 11-Nov-2014.

Hi John,We sure do use it all the time as a full time bassinet! We do put a cozey blanket inside it so that it's a bit more comfortable - which means we don't personally use the strapping in mechanism - yet - because the blanket is on top of it. I bring the rocker everywhere I go in the house. He's either in the rocker, in my arms, or in my arms in bed - that is really the only place I lay him down when he's not in my arms. I hope this answers your question? :-)

It's really a 3-in-1 product now...no rocking, no upright playard. I just called Tomy (the parent company of The First Years) and clarified two things. First, ours (manufactured 2/2014) does not rock. The government decided that it might tip over if someone pulled on it too hard. (It's called gravity...) Second, it no longer has the seated-upright playard option, which is what I believe the restraints were for. Ours has bows on the basket but not on the changing table - I'm willing to bet the govt told them to take those off, too. The rep was helpful and apologetic and - since preventing the bassinet from rocking is not yet mandated, and our box explicitly said the bassinet rocked - was able to send out an "old" pair of legs for us so that it will rock. She was not able to offer any suggestions for the playard since it sounds like that's a change to the entire carrier piece. Hope this helps someone else. We thought we were going crazy at first until we realized that the plastic legs look different than what's in the manufacturer's photos.

On this it does NOT remove. That's why I was so disappointed in it. My baby girl was six months and pulling up to stand while in it, so I went to lower or remove the bassinet and it doesn't. I had to purchase a different one which I would have purchased in the first place had I realized. This is solely a bassinet. I know that they have another one that lowers, but this is not it.

It depends. You need to get one on the smaller size. If you get a regular bassinet sheet, you may have to tuck it underneath and sometimes it bunches up, especially if the baby moves around. I picked out some small sheets and pull them tight so that they stay. I think if I were to do this again, I'd look into a different bassinet. I'd find one that at least had sheets to go with it, because this one does not.

I have our mattress currently on the top position since she is a newborn. The standard bedskirt that came with a set worked fine. We first had the mattress on the last position & a bed skirt did not work as it was to close to the ground.

I agree with the other answer - it only locks when it's in the upright position.

Sorry about that. Mine also seems to stay "locked" only in the semi-reclined position. But I never fully recline it as I don't want that position. I use it for watching tv only. I do feel that the price and looks are worth every penny. I guess it depends on what one purchases it for. We purchased two and love them. We have limited space, needed the orange color, and wanted something attractive. They aren't over-sized, homely, and dowdy looking like most recliners.

My handles click and lock when open. It does not lock in the folded position.

We used it in both the bassinet area and the lower pack and play area. But our baby did not roll or push up until very late and even then did not roll around much at night.

Not really. Mine gets stuck too. Not much you can do but pull it off and reposition. It doesn't happen all the time. Maybe the manufacturer has a solution.
