Thoughts on use as a bassinet? Up until now had planned to use this item as a bassinet. I am having 2nd thoughts due to how fluffy the interior is.

Plus the slight incline it has is awesome for reflux. He's my 3rd kid and I wish I had this with other two. I would have thrown away everything else! Swing, bouncer, etc

It's fantastic! It's really not that fluffy. The little monkey part that is does come out if it worries you. My baby was a premie and now 3 months old. We bought a super nice bassinet and he still prefers his monkey bed. Honestly... Best purchase ever!

This works perfectly as a bassinet, the interior is more soft than it is fluffy, but can also be removed. I used this Rock 'n Play, with all of the interior, every single night those first few weeks when my son was born. Kept him right next to the bed which worked great until I decided on an in-bed co-sleeper instead. However, I'm still so thankful to use this for his naps. :)

This is a good natime, bedtime bassinet for infants. Once they learn to roll over or if you want to just have them hang out in it all day - maybe not. It's really light weight and great for infants to chill in but but bigger babies not so much. Even the short time we used it though - it was so worth it!

I have reservations about using this as a full time bassinet. I was looking for something versatile as space is limited for us. Thought this would work until I realized the sides are solid and baby could wiggle against it increasing the chance of suffocation. The solution to that would be to strap baby in but then you couldn't use a swaddle and baby might not be able to stretch if they wanted. It's still good napper and play area, just one where you would want to use while you are awake if not strapping in baby.

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

I would agree that it is bigger than a mini-bassinet mattress. Instead of cutting it (which means you could reuse it once you move into a bigger crib) you could just tap the ends and sides to fit your mattress.

I just bought the bassinet mattress recommended to go with it and it fits great. The naturepedic I've heard is quite big.

No absolutely not. Very poorly designed bassinet. Thin, hard board with gaps and almost zero padding.

Oragami hasn't came out with a bassinet yet and I returned the one I ordered cause it came to me and wasn't a bassinet it mis worded it's really the car seat attachment which I already had. Ugh

Personally I would not. I believe it would be too high on the bassinet top and become a safety issue. It works much better after the bassinet has been removed and the baby has moved into the toddler portion size for the playard.

No, a bassinet mattress won't fit in it. For safety, I wouldn't recommend using anything else other than the pad that comes with it. My grandson is 5 months old now and still sleeps through the night in it. I haven't measured the pad but I think the size is on the web site

I have it as a bedspread. It is on a full sized bed and goes to the floor all the way around. On a queen it would be great as a bedspread. I love it. It is very soft.

I suppose it could be used as a cosleeper, but it's soft all around (i.e. you can't pick it up with baby in it, the bottom would likely collapse), and the sides would squish in if you were sleeping next to it and happened to press against it (which would make it smaller).

Yes! I've used it as my babies bassinet since she came home from the hospital. She will be 3 months next week. I plan on using it till she gets too big. She was a small baby so I'm not sure how well it would work if you had a large baby. I love it! Clean and simple. And chemical free!

I use it as a regular mattress. It's not for everyone. It's firm, about a 7/10, with 1 being sink to the floor and 10 being carpeted floor. It served me well for almost 1 year just being rolled out on the floor to conserve room space.

I love this travel crib, but I would say no. Mainly because the mattress sits on the floor. It would work as a bassinet, but it wouldn't be very convient in the middle of the night.

I have twin daughters and we purchase every option with this stroller. If I could go back I probably would not have purchased the bassinets. Most of the time we used the car seats and when we did use the bassinets it was very warm for the girls, a breeze can not get to them. I stopped using the bassinets at 3 months. I will say I did appreciate having them when I was in a very crowded place, people didn't ask to see or touch my babies. I also noticed they would sleep longer with bassinet, maybe comfort, less noise and darkness. You also can not swap between stroller seat and bassinet very easy. The bassinet uses the stroller seat frame, it is a 10 minute process to change them out. I hope this helps. I have twin daughters and we purchase every option with this stroller.

I loved it and thought it was great design EXCEPT it gets yucky kinda fast. Mine mildewed within about 3-4 months & I would hang it up every time I used it so it could dry. My baby is a little older so I never used it as a hammock, but it looked like it would be great that way. I think for an infant I would want to try that foam flower u put in a sink. I think it would help keep them warmer.

i didn't use a bassinet, i used a maxi cosi car seat and it worked great till 10 months when she was too long. i felt it kept her more supported than a bassinet.
