Halo

3.9

(32)

"Agreed! We also have the halo and love it. Baby boy is 7 weeks and consistently sleeping 5.5 hours in it for his first stretch at night."

"Another vote for the Halo. My wife had a C-section, so being able to wing the baby over and lower the rail was a big help."

"Halo swivel bassinest is my go to for my 1st and I’m using it again for my 2nd."

"We have the halo swivel. Love it. I enjoy taking the bassinet off the base and brining it in any room for baby girl."

"I had the Halo Bassinest and loved it."

"Bassinet is worth it. I got a great condition Halo on marketplace."

"This bassinet has really given me a lot of peace of mind."

"We really loved the halo bassinest!"

"I had a Halo Swivel bassinet that was adjustable and could be bed height. Loved it!"

"The swivel feature was an absolute game-changer for us. Being able to easily rotate the bassinet made nighttime feedings and soothing sessions a breeze."

Snoo

4.9

(16)

"If your question is the *best*, it’s the Snoo. But it’s not cheap."

"Snoo and the newton travel crib and play yard with bassinet insert! You can use the newton to sleep train later on."

"Get the snoo! It saved our life after 10 weeks of 45 minute sleeps 24/7."

"We bought a Snoo during their biggest sale of the year. 10/10 worth every single penny."

"If I could marry the snoo I would."

"I never imagined I’d be a Snoo mom, but here we are. Baby does all naps in the crib now, but the Snoo has been amazing."

"Love the Snoo!! We rented one at four weeks because our little one wouldn’t nap more than 20 minutes. He immediately started 90-120 minute naps. Best money I ever spent."

"The Snoo is ungodly expensive and unfortunately worth every penny. Buy one off Facebook marketplace. You can get them for like $400-$500 rather than $1,200 brand new."

"We were dreading lack of sleep as we approached parenthood so we bought a Snoo of marketplace. It has honestly been a lifesaver."

"The snoo was amazing tbh. we rented one at 5 weeks and got an 8 hour night the first time we used it. we transitioned to the crib at 5 months and it was pretty smooth."

Uppababy

4.6

(16)

"We got a stroller with a bassinet and LOVED it."

"My 3 month old much prefers the uppababy bassinet."

"I use the Uppa Baby bassinet for my girl. She has a Halo that she will not sleep in, but will in the Uppa baby."

"First babe slept in there for the first few months until she got too long."

"We did! It was so awesome for us. We didn’t have the stand for it, just left it on the stroller and rolled her around the house."

"We absolutely did. We had the Vista as well. Made it 100 x easier getting her to sleep."

"We used our uppababy bassinet attached to the stroller with the wheels locked in our living room for the first few months."

"My baby slept in his Uppababy bassinet until he outgrew it at 10 weeks."

"My baby slept in the Uppababy bassinet up until last week and she is 5 months."

"We have the uppababy vista with the bassinet and use it often for walks."

Graco

4.2

(13)

"The graco pack n play is honestly my fave, my baby actually likes sleeping in it."

"We did the Graco pack and play and our LO is 5 months. Still great and will be useable after removing the bassinet height."

"We have the Graco Pack n Play with the bassinet and changing table and it's been great."

"A $70 Grace pack and play with the additional mattress level feature. Will last you through the very short bassinet phase and then work for travel for years."

"Graco MyView mini pack n play."

"The graco pack n play was great but our baby boy already out grew the length and we had to pack that part away."

"We actually have both for our 6 week old. The pack and play for travel and the bassinest for home. I love the bassinest. If you put it right next to the bed then it’s almost like they’re sleeping in the bed with you but safely."

"We have the graco pack n play downstairs with bassinet and change table and love it. We use it all the time."

"I got a graco brand bassinet that is also a play pen. it was just over $100 and i liked that it was a play pen as well so i could get more use out of it"

"Our Graco pack n play bassinet worked well after mine. It was much easier on me than the crib."

Uppababy Bassinet

4.0

(11)

"Working great for us with the stand in the bedroom."

"I loved it. I rolled it by my side of the bed and took care of him throughout the night."

"My baby is still sleeping in his at 14 weeks and I also use it for daily walks! I adore that thing."

"Our baby has been sleeping in this bassinet since day 1."

"Yep it was the only thing my son would sleep in. He hated the halo bassinet we had next to the bed."

"We kept the uppababy bassinet stand in our den so babe could take naps downstairs during the day."

"We used the uppababy bassinet (with stand) for about 8 weeks before moving him to the crib."

"We exclusively used this bassinet. We moved our LO to their own crib/room after a month."

"I didn’t but wish I did! We barely used the bassinet stroller because my baby preferred the bucket seat."

"We ended up using the next-to-me for 11 months so it was a worthwhile buy for us."

Bugaboo

4.6

(9)

"Can’t recommend the stardust bugaboo enough."

"I cannot say enough good things about it."

"Definitely recommend!"

"It was wonderful! Saved us money and also helped bub be comfortable in the pram to sleep out and about."

"I finally settled on the bugaboo stardust after seeing tons of positive reviews."

"I got the bugaboo stardust travel crib. It folds so easily and weighs nothing. I got this only because I almost shed a tear trying to set up my sisters for her daughter lol it was so complicated I think she had a Graco."

"Recommend the bugaboo stardust. It converts into a mini travel crib and playpen but is large for a bassinet. My 97% height 5 month old still naps in it and intend on using it as a travel crib for the next year."

"Same here but bugaboo. We used it for about 1.5 months w the stand."

"Using a Bugaboo Stardust with the bassinet insert :) "

Maxi-Cosi

4.6

(8)

"Not talked about a lot, but consider the Maxi-Cosi IORA. It’s roomy on the inside yet compact as others. The only one where I didn’t feel like I was constricted my baby. Also, tons of space below."

"Agreed! We had a simple maxi cosi iora (fb marketplace!) and our baby slept like a dream."

"Is great. We also have a tall bed and this one is a good height"

"We have the maxi cosi one and loved it!!!! It lasted us until 6m when we transitioned to the crib."

"For bassinets, we got the Maxi-Cosi Iora for our bedroom and the UppaBaby stroller bassinet for downstairs. The Iora is so well made, sturdy, and BIG in a good way."

"We bought the Maxi Cosi. Baby isn't born yet so can't report on how she likes it, but we liked how big and tall it is, so she'll be able to use the bassinet longer than many other models."

"Bassinet: we used the maxi-cosi. Some people don’t like this one because it’s deeper, but we liked it because baby could stay in it."

"For me, having a bassinet that folds down was super important – no negotiation there. Sure, it rocks a bit, but it's not a full-on swing."

Arm's Reach

4.6

(8)

"I have an arms reach bassinet and I love it."

"I love our Arm’s Reach ClearVue cosleeper. It is very ugly and does have a thin mattress but my baby sleeps on it fine."

"I have the arm’s reach and love it!"

"Huuuuge plus is that it’s on wheels and we take it all over our apt."

"Loved my Arms Reach after 2nd c section."

"If that’s too wide for you, they have a non mini crib version called Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper Bedside Bassinet that is 20” wide!"

"We have an Arm’s Reach 3 in 1 cosleeper in our small bedroom and there is a mini version as well."

"The arm's reach has wheels so you could move it around for naps and changes if needed."

Newton

4.1

(7)

"The Newton bassinet is great!"

"My baby sleeps well in it and we have no problems transfering him."

"We have the newton bedside bassinet but it only goes up to 20lbs, but mine started rolling before reaching that weight so then we had to transition. It has mesh sides, you can unzip the one side and the height can be adjusted to your beds height. It worked great for us"

"The newton bassinet is our main sleep space for baby. It’s longer than most bassinets and has a higher weight rating. I like the breathability as my son enjoys sleeping right up against the walls."

"I loved my Newton! Not sure about the height you need but it did have the drop down side!"

"We've been happy with the Newton bassinet. I had it next to the bed till 6 months and recently switched to a Davinci K."

"Or If you want one that lasts as long as possible you want something like the Newton that is on the larger side."

SNOO

4.2

(6)

"I've got both the snoo and the Halo bassinest and love both."

"I will always recommend one. It was great having it in our room."

"Rent the snoo for 3 months. It’s worth every penny and way cheaper than buying."

"I have twins and rented two snoos. Ten out of ten would recommend."

"I had the halo swivel 3.0 and baby hated it. Wouldn’t sleep in it."

"I hated the halo, it was ginormous, heavy, and I could never get the side to go down."

#11

Skip Hop

4.6

(5)

"Was fantastic!"

"We loved the skip hop mesh one! It’s on wheels."

"We have the skip hop and I love it. The mattress is thick for a bassinet which I think is more comfortable for baby."

"I had the Skip Hop bassinet and loved it. My favourite part is that it's bigger than a lot of bassinets out there."

"We have the skip hop. It’s been great for us. Our baby is almost 5 months and just about to transition to a crib."

#12

Halo Bassinest

3.3

(6)

"Take a look at the Halo bassinet"

"It’s not huge but it’s spacious, we had a very small apartment when she was first born and it didn’t take up much room at all"

"The Halo Bassinest swivels closer to the bed but can also be pushed away."

"We really liked our secondhand halo bassinet and found it very handy when he was small."

"It's smaller than other bedside bassinets. She was able to use the Halo bassinest until almost 5 months."

"Do not, I repeat, do NOT, buy a brand new halo swivel."

#13

Nuna

4.8

(4)

"We splurged and did Nuna Swiv with bassinet. Don’t regret"

"We used our Nuna bassinet for sleep with the Nuna stand from 0-4 months."

"We plan on using our nuna bassinet until baby transitions to the crib!"

"Personally i went with the Nuna Sena Aire."

#14

Fisher-Price

4.5

(4)

"We went with the Fisher Price Soothing Motions Bassinet, and it worked great for us! It rocks baby back to sleep quietly, without moving the whole bassinet."

"I recently purchased the Fisher Price Soothing Motions Bassinet for $119 on sale at Walmart, opting for a more affordable option."

"I delved into the quest for the perfect bassinet. My primary concern was ensuring there was no gap between the mattress and the sides, which could pose a suffocation hazard."

"The good things about the Soothing Motions one: it rocks itself, which sounds nice."

#15

Delta Children

4.3

(4)

"I have this Delta Children bassinet and haven’t had any issues with it."

"That's got adjustable height, and has egs that tuck right under the bed"

"It has most of what you’re looking for, wheels, sides are all mesh, also plays music, vibrates and has a nightlight."

"I purchased the delta children sleepcool rocking bassinet."

#16

Mini Crib

4.0

(4)

"Just get a full size crib if it fits into your master room besides your bed."

"If you can, I’d go for a mini crib over a bassinet."

"Skip the bassinet snd get a mini crib for your bedroom."

"I would buy it second hand or borrow one from a friend if you want one."

#17

4moms

3.8

(4)

"4moms Mamaroo!"

"My baby hated the halo bassinet and loved the mamaroo."

"I have the 4moms one that moves and has sound machine. but tbh my baby doesn't really seem to care if it rocks or not in hindsight I wish I opted for a cheaper version"

"I had the 4moms mamaroo sleep bassinet."

#18

Baby Letto

4.3

(3)

"Check out the Baby Letto Yuzu crib. We got this one and we love it! It can configure up to 8 different ways. We started off with the bassinet config, it was very easy to assemble."

"We love the Yuzu too! Baby used the bassinet configuration till 2 months old and moved on to the midi crib configuration."

"Seconding the Yuzu! We’re still on bassinet config but love it so far."

#19

Maxi Cosi

4.3

"It's big with tons of storage and it's gorgeous."

"We bought the Maxi Cosi Swift to keep downstairs in our house."

"Haven't had baby yet but our room doesn't have much space and it fits on the side."
