BABYBJORN Cradle - White, 31x23x26 Inch (Pack of 1)OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

My Husband and I purchased this as part of our Amazon registry close out order. I could hardly wait to receive this particular item. We wanted something simple, lightweight and generally eye pleasing. We understand that the Bassinet has one purpose to serve, but for us, having a Bassinet that somewhat fit in with our style aesthetic was important too. Assembly was very easy and took less than fifteen minutes. It required one Allen Key and two screws - both of which came with this Bassinet. The Bassinet has a slight bouncy back and forth motion to it that is easily done with the slight push of your hand or perhaps foot. With my Husband being a paraplegic in a wheelchair, the height of this item is just perfect for him to be able to reach the baby and interact with him if I am tending to other things. It is very sturdy yet can easily be picked up and moved from room to room. I LOVE this item and can hardly wait for our little Guy to be sleeping in it right next to our bed in just a matter of weeks now.

We absolutely LOVE this cradle. It is incredible quality, being able to rock it is a fantastic feature, and it fits perfectly next to the bed. I love that you can see through the sides and it is light and easy to move from room to room if necessary - we did that a lot when my daughter was a newborn so she could sleep in the living room during the day. It is expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for. It looks great, but most importantly Baby Bjorn is famous for their attention to detail and use of only top quality, baby-safe materials, and that was what was most important to us. Has truly been worth every penny.

The media could not be loaded. I love this bassinet. It’s high quality and simple design. I was looking for stylish low tech rocking bassinet, that is safe. Love the net all around it. The height work for us and our bed.The con is that it’s small. Our baby being 95 percentile in height will fit in there only for 2 months. It might serve longer for premature babies. That regard it’s an expensive sleeping arrangement that serves only two months.

When shopping around for a cradle/bassinet, I was looking for several things: 1) I don't want to buy a bulky, electronic moving cradle that contains a cord that could trip me or my wife, especially in the middle of the night; 2) I want to buy something that is built well, and safe for the child, not just to sleep in, but to breathe in and out without worrying about inhaling harmful chemicals; 3) I want to purchase something that is light and portable, which would allow me to move from the bedroom to other places in my house.The Babybjorn Cradle fits all three of these requirements. It is very light, and while it is able to rock very gently, it relies solely on the baby's own movement (or the hands of a parent/caretaker) to make it rock gently. I don't know if my baby actually uses the rocking movement to put himself back to sleep, but I guess there's no way I can find out.The cradle is extremely well-built. Like other Babybjorn products, it is simple, yet very sturdy. The materials used were fantastic. It's clean, sleek, and strong. It is certified to have no harmful chemicals, so I don't have to worry about the baby breathing in harmful or even toxic fumes from paints or anything (the cradle has almost no surface area with paint).The cradle is light-weight, allowing me to carry it out to the living room during the day when baby needs a nap, and mommy wants to stay in the living room instead of retrieving to the bedroom. The legs of the cradle spread out wide enough for the cradle to be sturdy; the only drawback is that the width sometimes makes it tricky for me to carry it through a rather narrow hallway in my home.The only thing I don't like about this cradle is its size. My son is now two months old, and he is probably two or three weeks away from outgrowing the cradle. He is not a tall or big child by all means (he is 11.5 pounds now), but there is already little room for his arms to move around. We are also about to run out of head room and leg room as well.Like other Babybjorn products, this cradle is not cheap. For what I think will be three months of use (max), I still find it worthwhile because it allows the baby to sleep very close to mom and dad without bed-sharing, something many parents are very reluctant to do. I felt I paid extra for a good quality, safe product that allowed me to maximize the valuable quality time spent with my little one - I would recommend it for other parents who are willing to pay a little extra for the added quality.

This bassinet is the perfect choice for our small apartment. It is lightweight, has a nice simple design, and is very sturdy - much more stable than you would guess from pictures. I also love the fact that you can see the baby through the mesh sides, which was a feature I hadn't anticipated being important. And now that my baby has been home for a few weeks and I see how easy it is for him to wiggle around and press his face against the sides of the bassinet, I am so grateful it is breathable mesh! In fact I can't imagine why any bassinet is made of anything else - my baby just loves wedging himself up against the sides and in this bassinet, that is safe.

I love this bassinet. My baby is now six weeks old and has been sleeping in it well since day one. I researched dozens of bassinets for months and decided on this one because of the trusted name, the price, the look and the safety of the breathable sides. I was initially going to use the bassinet that came with our uppababy stroller but then realized that is not breathable enough and I read some safety issues about that one. I almost went for the SNOO but decided to give this a try instead and I have no regrets and also saved $1000+ by not buying the SNOO. I love that this bassinets looks great next to my bed and if my baby is fussy I can just gently push on the cradle to rock and soothe him.
