(5 stars) - Excellent Bassinet!
I read a few reviews from people who said that this product was a safety hazard because it lacked straps to keep the bed connected to the base, but the model I received DID have safety straps and locking clips that kept it secured to the base, so maybe they have since upgraded the model to make it safer. I have four children and this is the second bassinet I have purchased since my first child. I haven't been able to find a bassinet comparable to that first one I bought nearly 11 years ago accept for this one, and this one is way better that my first one was. The best part is the detachable bed that folds up and has a car seat like carrying handle. I wasn't able to find that feature in any other beds on the market. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a quality and affordable bassinet. I haven't had a chance to test out the music and sounds feature on it yet, but I love it so much already it really isn't necessary at this point.

(3 stars) - Happy but don't use all bells & whistles
I have a newborn who sleeps in this bassinet next to our bed. I bought it based on the high Amazon.com reviews. I'm very pleased with this product, but found that we don't use a lot of the bells and whistles. For instance, I don't really use the storage container in the bottom of the bassinet because I keep all her baby supplies elsewhere in the room. I've never used the changing table, which lies underneath the bassinet because it's just as easy to change the baby on the bed, especially in the middle of the night. I've also never had a reason to actually carry the baby to another room, thereby, using the "carry-me" function! I've also never put the wheels down to use as a cradle. The thing has a vibration mechanism...why would I need to manually rock the bassinet??

That said, I LOVE the vibration and sound functions on the handle of the bassinet. My baby likes the vibration and there are many sounds to choose from that helps to lull the baby to sleep. The nightlight on the bassinet is also TOTALLY helpful when checking on baby or doing a midnight feeding/diaper change. You don't have to turn on the bright lights in the room...the light given off by the bassinet is plenty and at the same time, it's not bright enough to completely wake up baby and hubby.

Complaints: The vibration and sound mechanism shuts off after a few minutes so you have to keep turning them back on. I wish you could set it to go for 10, 15, 30 minutes, etc. This thing does eat up batteries, too, but what do you expect I guess! The batteries last me one month. Also, it took me over an hour to assemble it and the manufacturer's product stickers on the handle were TERRIBLE to remove. I had to use a blade and Goo Gone to get the stickers off. So stupid and unnecessary to put them on with that much glue!

Would recommend but you may not use all the functions that come with it.

we were looking for a good solid bassenet for our grandchildren, this one is better than we expected. its solid and sturdy, a litte challenging to put together.

(5 stars) - So Super Cute and Functional!
I love this bassinet! My hubby and I are moving shortly after we have our baby girl and didn't want to have to move a crib and changing table and other miscellaneous furniture. This suited our needs perfectly. Mine first, she will be within arms reach all night long for feeding and soothing. It's a cozy cute sleeping spot! The bassinet sits up for entertainment value which is yet another piece I don't have to buy right now. The bed removes so quickly for the use of the changing table! I love the basket storage underneath for my diaper caddie and extra recieving blankets. For my hubby, it folds right up for easy moving! I love the rocking motion on it as well!! So adorable and what a great price!! GET IT! You won't be disappointed!

(5 stars) - High Quality & Nice
My now 6 week old baby doesn't like to be put down for any length of time, so she doesn't use this for sleeping very much, but what it has been great for is a very safe changing area (no squirming off here!) and a safe place to put her for a few minutes when we have to put her down. The mattress fits the bed well and the base is very sturdy. The whole thing is high quality. I ordered extra bed sheets from the company- they were reasonable ($5 each plus shipping) and came quickly. The only thing is that the top isn't secured to the base in any way. This made us nervous and so we strapped it to the base with the straps that you use to hold it together when its folded up. Very secure! Its nice to be able to wheel it from room to room; its pretty cumbersum to carry- we are only planning to detach the base when we travel. Worth the money for me!
