The Review
The good
It is a very pretty pack and play - the design and quality of the materials are great. It is very easy to set up and take down (it is still somewhat heavy). The bassinet works great for a newborn (she liked it a lot more than the BabyBjorn Bassinet we borrowed when she was first born). The zipper door has been great as she transitions to a bigger bed - we leave it open so she can go in and out if she wants to.
Nitpicks
I really love this bed and only have two serious qualms (1) the bassinet has no fitted sheet option (at least not when I bought it) - the recommendation is to have the baby sleep directly on the polyester mattress covering - but newborns have blow-outs and spit up all the time, we tucked a sheet in but I really wish they would just make one that fits the bed. (2) the bottom mattress sags a little bit at the edges if the baby rolls into that part. I don't think its a huge deal but it makes like a little bit of a hammock and I feel like that is something that they should have addressed in the design. We still used this as her primary bed from 6 weeks to 18 months very happily.
Why this one?
We have been more or less on the move since we had our baby and wanted something that was nice and could be used over the long term, but that we could travel with. I wanted a travel crib that had a bassinet for a newborn, but that also had a bed for a bigger baby that was off of the floor. A lot of travel cribs have the mattress directly on the ground - but since we planned to use this as the babies primary bed I thought it would be better to have it a bit elevated.
I would recommend this item to
grandparents! We have been loaning this bed to my aunt for her granddaughter and she LOVES the zipper opening on the side, she has a bad back and uses it all the time to get the baby in and out.
