Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Great idea, bad execution...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this bed so that our baby could co-sleep with us. The top of the bed is very well constructed - it has a firm, secure edge around baby. The bottom half of the bed is simply some flimsy mesh and a small footrest. Simply put, this bed does not keep baby inside!! Even a newborn! Every time I would come to check on my baby, she would have slid halfway down, and her legs were hanging out the side. I do not recommend this product for use in an adult bed.
That being said, I do use it with a sleep positioner in her cradle (where she is sleeping all the time now, at 5 months). She is very close to growing out of it, so we will then transition her to a full-size crib.
Customer Review: Wish we had seen this sooner!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hubby & I had never seen a bassinet that actually goes IN the bed before. We used this for quite a while until my baby grew out of it (about 4 months). My baby is 25 inches long at 4 1/2 months. He slept well in it & we could feel SAFE about having him in bed with us. It does take up a lot of room. We have a queen size bed and don't have much room left for ourselves (understatement) when the bassinet is in the bed. With a king size bed it would be fine. We never used the nightlight on it but it would probably be a handy feature for some. This is the only bassinet we have seen or found like this! Love it, 10 stars!! You can also use it to throw on the floor in the living room for baby naps!Customer Review: Good fit for average sized baby
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to co sleep with my newborn son, this made co sleeping easier and is easily portable, it comes with a small mattress similar to a plush changing pad, the mattress is water resistant and has a cover that is washable which is a nice feature. There are two drawbacks for me, 1. My son was 22" at birth and outgrew the 24" soon ( the lower barrier is not movable) and 2. while the upper half is padded the lower half is just netted, my son had the habit of putting his legs out of the sleeper and would be half outside when he was a month old. Also this is just a co sleeper and not a sleep positioner. still I like this product and would buy again if they made it in lengthier models.Customer Review: Really wanted to like this..
Summary: 2 Stars
Two stars for two reasons: this is a pain in the butt to clean up. You can take all the fabric parts apart and wash them (that velcro sticks to everything..) but it is a hassle to put it all back together. We ended up putting a waterproof lap pad over the mattress and a flannel swaddling blanket over that. This also took a lot of room in a queen size bed and made sleeping really awkward. None of us slept comfortably (baby included) so we ended up stop using this after a few weeks and putting this in a crib in our bedroom where he slept soundly and removing the sleeper after another week or so. Luckily this had a good resale value so we got rid of it, absolutely not getting it for baby #2.Customer Review: LOVED these for my twins!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had preemie twin boys and I loved these sleepers. I laid them side by side in my bed (not recommended unless you have one side of your bed against the wall like I did) and then I didn't have to get out of bed to get the boys to nurse them. I am a single mom and they saved me during those first weeks of sleeplessness.
The nightlight is awesome because it points up and therefore won't wake the baby, but allows you to see. It's also removable.
The mattress is soft and washable. In fact, the entire thing is washable. It folds up and is great for traveling. It worked with my tiny preemies as a sleep positioner as well and I used it until they were 6 months old.
