A great find for those on a budget who still want a stylish nursery! It’s just as sturdy as the more expensive ones similar to it, don’t let the negative reviews fool you about that. The mattress/pad is a bit thin, but honestly, with how firm they should be, that’s fine. The sheet it comes with... isn’t great. I put it on underneath additional sheets I bought that are waterproof, because let’s be real: babies make lots of messes... and the added thin layer from the sheet that comes with it makes the sheets fit better, and cuts down on some of the plastic noise of the pad. A lot of reviews have complained about the ribbon, and if it’s that big of a deal, just go to a craft store and buy a different ribbon. The ribbon doesn’t go near baby, so it’s fine, and a great way to customize the look even more. I’m just using what came with it, and googled how to tie a proper bow. It took a few tries, but eventually figured it out.
I like that the canopy isn’t huge, it’s *just right*, so that it isn’t in the way of moving baby in and out or changing bedding.
The storage basket underneath isn’t huge, but it’s big enough for some spare sheets, some swaddlers, and some spare clothes for little ones in the event of a midnight blowout. Not too big, but not useless either.
The wheels roll smoothly and are able to lock and unlock easily (but won’t lock or unlock by accident). They flip up to go into rocking mode, but it requires lifting it a bit when you do it, so you’ll have to take baby out to do that. Again... no biggie, especially at such a low price.
The quality, look, and safety are excellent! It will have fewer bells and whistles, but for something you’ll only use for 4-5 months, I think it’s certainly a better option for your buck. Noise soothers and things like that can be purchased separate and then grow with baby as they move up to a regular crib, and be portable when using a play yard, and that’s really the only major difference between this and a bassinet twice the price or more.
*note* in the picture you can see the creases in the fabric and ribbon from the day I put it together, they have since released, but if you have a steamer or run them through the dryer on low with a slightly damp wash cloth, they’ll relax out. The fabric is very lightweight, some have complained that it’s thin, but... there’s no reason for it to be thick. It obviously is still very aesthetically pleasing, and not transparent. It serves its purpose, without being bulky (except the sheet, as I stated earlier... the sheet isn’t great, but makes a great liner for under better sheets. If you buy a bassinet for an actual baby, and expect to only need one sheet, you’re already setting yourself up for a lot of stress down the line lol!)
