Is the top edge of the drop down side flush with the mattress ,so you can slide baby in and out? Or is there a lip you have to lift baby over?

There is a lip u will have to lift the baby over. It is convenient and can be rolled to any part of ur home and fits in any corner. Glad we bought it!

There's a lip... But it keeps the baby from rolling out if there is a slight gap between the co sleeper and the mattress. Best thing we bought for the baby!

We haven't yet, and find this is a problem given the bed we are using, which has no slat close enough to the bottom of the mattress to allow us to tuck in the top sheet. The bed's already pretty high, so we're thinking bunkie boards. It's perfectly comfortable without a box spring.

I am short so I like that this crib is shorter so I don't have to lean over as far. The mattress can also be lowered 3 different levels as baby grows . Remember that crib mattresses are a standard size so I don't understand why people are saying the crib is small. It's lower profile for sure in its simplicity but the sleeping space is the same as any other crib.

Yes it is. On one side it can be opened to let you get your baby in and then you close afterwards to the limit you want.

This is a mattress. One side is for infants and the other side is for toddler stage.

The way it fits on ours, the zipper is on the top side of the mattress about a half-inch from the edge. It is covered by a fold of fabric though, so it won't touch the baby or anything. It's good because it's easy to zip without having to get your hand down the side of the mattress.

Very little bending. It has 4 height adjustments and the top setting was too high for my comfort for a newborn. But would be good for reaching from your bed to get baby out. I still love this crib!

There is a strap you run under your mattress to the other side. But honestly, we never used ours. It does not move easily so I felt secure in not using it. We just pulled it up right next to the bed. PS- one of the best baby items we bought. Loved having the babies so close to us, but still very safe.

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!

Yes & yes. There is an upper & a lower mattress which are linked together at a point that is set in from the outside edges, far enough in to allow you to tuck the sheets in. Pretty clever design.

That's a tough question. If you are wondering if you can reach to the bottom level to pick up and lay your baby down, I would say it is a 'lower' crib. I have another crib from pottery barn that is definitely taller and harder to pick up and lay down my daughter. I chose this crib for my twins because it is more compact and smaller (as cribs go). I am 5'3" and can easily reach to the bottom level of the crib. Does that help?

Neither side goes up and down. However, it's a smaller crib and doesn't seem necessary. I'm extremely happy woth this product.

I haven't had any issues with the upper level. The changing portion holds the baby fine as well but it does tend to want the baby in the corner instead of the center but no issues for us. We love this play yard.

The more expensive one has two positions--one up high for a newborn and then can be lowered when the child is older and pulling him/herself up on the railing. Although the picture for the lightweight shows two positions, I don't think they are the same. Also, the mattress pad is too thin--you really need to purchase the 3" pad. Hope this helps. We have been very happy with this purchase for our grandchild.

It sort of works that way...unfortunately, you can't really slide the baby because you have to sit up. It seems like the only way to not sit up is to put your baby in bed. I personally was not comfortable with that. This is the next best and safest thing.It also beats getting out of bed to walk to a bassinet or another bedroom. Worth buying!

You just have to measure from the top of the box spring to the top of your mattress, then subtract that from the height of the rail to see how much will extend above your mattress. It works with ours, extending about seven inches above the pillow-top. A baby could not roll off, but could climb over, of course.

I don't know about the other cribs. The sides are fixed and you just bend over. So far, it doesn't bother me at all to bend over.
