Baby Products Reviews of The First Years 5 in 1 Carry Me Near Sleep System, CreamCustomer Review: This bassinet does it all! Summary: 4 Stars
I just love this bassinet for many reasons, and I don't even use half of the features. The night light is wonderful, although my bulb blew out after just 4 weeks of use (easy to replace, but very inconvenient). The canopy is extremely useful when trying to put down a fussy little one. I have not had any problems with the changing table sagging, although I do not use it regularly.
There are a few shortcomings to this bassinet. The pad is not very supportive, so I purchased a bassinet pad/mattress for some real support. The fabric is not removable for washing (or ironing), but can easily be cleaned with some Shout wipes if needed.
I still think this bassinet is fantastic, and loaded with features. Great value for the price, and my son loves sleeping in it.
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted! Easy to set up! Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little nervous about some of the bad reviews, but then I read the long review that dealt with every issue brought up and decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did! Everything was exactly like they said. If I hadn't read the review I might not have known where to look for the directions, but they were easy to find when I knew where to look and easy to follow. I'm 81/2 months pregnant and set it up all by myself, if that tells you anything. I only needed help from my 4yr old once to hold the frame in place while I screwed it in. I love that the bassinet comes out with a handle and you can easily carry it around the house. It easily folds up so you can take it to Grandma's house for sleepovers and not worry where baby will sleep. All in all very pleased with this purchase!
Customer Review: Like it, don't love it Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this bassinet for our 2nd child - we did not have one for our first and I had regretted it. This bassinet works well and I love that I can take it along with me from room to room. It is also sturdy and I don't have any concerns about safety. I am dissapointed that there is not an option to keep the music/light/vibrations on as long as you like...the light does not stay on long enough for a night time feeding. Also, the adjustable legs do not go low enough for the bedside sleeper to work properly - I can scoot it right next to me, but cannot attach it to our bed - which is a normal height. I have not used the diaper changer since the actual bassinet has to be removed to get to it. Overall, it's a good product, but did not live up to it's description 100%,
Customer Review: It's worth every penny spent! Summary: 5 Stars
We appreciated this easy-to-assemble product, which took one person
less than half an hour to put together. It is very versatile and can be used for a girl or a boy. We liked the nightlight rdature, which offered a handy way to keep baby's sleeping area gently lit. The soothing lullabies, nature sounds and vibrations helped to lull my little one to sleep. I could rock my son back to sleep not only without getting up,
but even without as much as lifting my head from the pillow. And when I wanted to get some more uninterrupted sleep in the morning, my husband was able to take him in the Portable Sleeper to another room.
This sleeping system is one of the best available on the market today.
It's worth every penny spent!
Customer Review: Great, but a pain to clean Summary: 4 Stars
We were thrilled with this bassinet (and haven't had problems getting it through our doorways, which are standard), but we were only home 2 days when the baby made a huge mess of the changing table. My husband unscrewed the bars to get the cover off. We used an exacto knife to slice the fabric open towards one end of the board (on the bottom) and slipped it off and into the washer. It washed fine. We put it in the sun to dry and then slipped it back onto the frame. It's as good as new (if you don't notice the slice in the bottom), but I downgrade it because of the oversight in not making the covers removeable.
On the other hand, this is the only thing my baby will sleep in besides our bed, so they must be doing something right.
