Can I use this as a co sleeper next to my bed? Would one of the sides come off so its an easy access for me when I want to feed my baby over night?

No it's a solid rectangle. Building it with one side removed would be unsafe.

I have it next to my bed but the sides won't come off. You will most likely have to stand up to get your baby. You might want to review safety guidelines before getting a craddle/crib that has the side coming off feature as it is not recommended.

The side does not come off, but I found it would work well as a co-sleeper regardless. I liked the height because I could see my daughter very well while laying on my bed. A portacrib would have not worked as well. I do recommend you get a new mattress. My daughter didn't last long because of the mattress not being comfortable enough. She ended up preferring her crib around 4 weeks!

The side does not come off, but I found that it is the proper height to scoot right up next to our bed anyway. My boy's sleeping surface was level with me and it was easy to look over and make sure he was doing fine, and reach in to soothe him during the night.

I love this bassinet. Our bed is high (box spring and 12" mattress), so it is at a perfect height to reach in and grab baby at night. But, to be honest, I've mostly just been sleeping with my baby next to me in bed. Babies and moms sleep SO much better this way because the baby feels safe and warm next to mom and can easily breastfeed. This basinet is great for those times when co-sleeping isn't safe like if my husband or I have been drinking or have taken sleep-inducing medication.

No. The bottom comes off to use as a toy chest after you are done with it but the sides are fixed in place

I liked using the napper outside of the pack n play and laying it on the sofa or bed as a soft place for baby to lay down on. I like the shade on it too to keep the light out of it's eyes. We did not use it as an overnight sleeper, because we were not sure it was good for the baby to not be on firm bedding, so we did not take the chance. The higher sleeping area is where he first slept. The baby will not sleep overnight anyways.

I didn't use mine as a bedside bassinet for that reason. I let my baby sleep in it one night and she slid to the bottom and her little legs were all crunched up. I only used it during the day for naps.

I think it would be too low and not close enough to your bed. I would get something specifically made for co sleeping.

You can, but I didn't as well. I actually made a cover for mine. I like having the pad go all the way to the corner. It's not as horrible as some of the reviewers make it out to be. Babies usually aren't on there for more than 10 minutes, it's not like it has to be super comfy so they can nap up there...

I would be comfortable with my baby sleeping on it belly down. It has some cush but is not thick or soft enough to pose a health risk in my unexpert opinion.

Yes pillow comes off don't quite know the purpose but it is soft and could be used to make baby more secure.. It really is a better quality cover, comfy and we use it at restaurants too. You won't be sorry to buy it.

Yes, you could remove both sides but it would be very wobbly because the side pieces are what keeps it stable. I have used it with just one side taken off as a toddler bed and that works great. Basically the metal frame that the mattress sits on has little metal "arms" on each corner that screw into the legs on the short sides of the bed. These arms can pivot where they are connected to the metal frame so there is some give and the side rail is what keeps the bed square and you need at least one of them on for it to be stable.

Yes, I think it is okay for side sleeping. However, an elbow or hip or something might contact through the pad to the ground depending on your overall weight and weight distribution. I weigh over 200 lbs, but find I can sleep on my side okay.

Yes it can be set up to pull out on either side. Our daughter really likes the bed.

Absolutely! The bassinet portion detaches from the base and is curved on the bottom so when you set it on the floor you can rock your little one. When we used ours for overnight sleeping we did take the hood off, but it works fine with it on too. There are also cloth straps that tuck into zippers on the outsides of the bassinet so once you take baby out you can pick it up easily.

This would not be good for tummy sleepers. I'm guessing you would have a lot of false alarms because it wouldn't be able to sufficiently detect your babies movement from breathing if it's pressed up against the mattress. It still works for my daughter who likes to sleep on her side though.

For the play yard mode, yes. But while in co-sleeper/bassinet form, no. The purpose is partly aesthetics to cover the frame and padding at the top. Its nice though, because from inside, baby may be kept warmer and cozier since the liner extends down, not exposing her so much to light or cool air from the three sides. Its also washable so you can keep things clean

I did love this sleeper. My little guy was able to stay next to me an extra 2 months because of its large size, weight limit and high sides. My suggestion would be to purchase an extra sheet.

For newborn maybe in the early weeks but I wouldn't recommend it once they start moving around on their own....the bassinet is not very deep so they could roll out and it is made to be tilted. I used a sleeper for my bed and never really used this part but if you don't want the baby sleeping with you I would rather let it sleep in the crib than in the bassinet

Yes and Yes.I actually found it annoying attached to the bed because I had to crawl to the foot of my bed to get out. I also found that I needed to sit up with my legs off the bed to have the leverage to lift the baby into my bed. It was too awkward to reach over while lying down.So I used it as a bassinette but it's size made it really portable for holidays or RV camping and height made it easier to lay the sleeping baby down as opposed to a pack n play where you have to reach down to the ground.

I was wondering is the matress on the co sleeper firm? I've been using a pack n play with bassinet and I dont like that it doesnt lay completely flat.
