I am looking for a bassinet that is low to the ground since my baby is on the ground. Is this low?

I think it is low , my bed is too low and I uSed to reached it and moved it from my bed

What is your definition of low? I am 5 ft 2 and when kneeling down, I was able to rock the baby comfortably.

It is 12 inches from the ground to the base of the cradle. From the base to the top it is 13 inches. Our bed with the box spring is 22 inches. It could work with how you are intending to use it. It would seem that you will be able to see the baby through the mesh with your bed being on the floor.

No, it more of a typical bassinet height. We have a low profile mattress/boxspring and the top of thi bassinet reached above our mattress.

there is a 5" lip and i hated that. also, it is probably only level if you get the extender legs. our bed is 26" high. the lip side of the co-sleeper was level with the mattress when folded down. so the baby's mattress was 5" below the level of our mattress (with extender legs). i still had to get out of bed to nurse...but also i had a C-section.

The mattress pad for the bassinet is very thin, which is fine for a newborn. We never used the bassinet attached to the bed, instead we kept all four sides up and used it as a traditional bassinet just right next to the bed. I was always afraid I would toss some covers on my baby while I slept ( I get really hot and restless in the southern summer nigths down here). We also liked keeping it unattached from our bed so we could roll it around the house and use it for naps when he was a newborn. That way I could do laundry and he could be napping nearby.

For a bassinet, no. That's about standard for them. By nature, they are smaller. They just aren't meant for bigger babies.

That's a tough question. If you are wondering if you can reach to the bottom level to pick up and lay your baby down, I would say it is a 'lower' crib. I have another crib from pottery barn that is definitely taller and harder to pick up and lay down my daughter. I chose this crib for my twins because it is more compact and smaller (as cribs go). I am 5'3" and can easily reach to the bottom level of the crib. Does that help?

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

Depends on a few things. 1: DO NOT use the diaper changing area as a bassinet. It is not designed for that and would not be a good idea. 2. If you are referring to the area the child lays on then it depends on the height of your bed. For a bed that is 3-4 feet off the ground there will be no problem since the 1st level sits pretty high up. Lower than 3 feet and you will have to get up and reach down a little more. Good luck and congratulations!

I purchased this for my sister-in-law a few months ago. Her newborn baby, 9lbs, slept in this bassinet for the first 3 months. She did not use a positioner.

The stroller converts to a bassinet but it doesnt lay completely flat. Save yourself some money and check out the Harmony stroller.

I have it for my daughter and she loves it! You could use it until your baby can stand up and reach it. If you lower the crib, you could still use it.

I'm not sure, I'd have to look up my stroller instructions, but my baby is 4 months old and weighs about 16-17lbs (I think or more) and he still uses the bassinet. His feet aren't too close to the edge. Even if I lift the bassinet to stroller position now his feet dont get cramned too much at the end. I like this because if it is windy or raining it doesn't get him all wet. The hood of the stroller would be nicer if it was a little bigger or had a middle position. There isn't any shocksystem, but it's a stroller and I'm not jogging or going over bumpy terrain with it. I love the stroller. But I can't see some people not.

If you are talking about the velcro cloth strap that stops baby from moving around too much in the bassinet, then it may be under the mattress pad. That's where I found mine.

NO!!!!! the Bassinet is oval, it is actually smaller on the inside than normal bassinets ....I would not get it for twins ...the bassinet is Gorgeous but not enough sleeping space for 2 babies

It really depends on the size of the child, but generally it can be used from birth through toddler age. The bassinet portion can be used up to 16 pounds, then the child will move to the lower portion.

It's pretty straight up and down. I have not used the position with my 7 month old yet. We use the position where he's semi upright or all the way flat. I think the position your talking about is best for an older toddler, around 2 or 3 years old. At least for me, it's too vertical for an infant, but the other positions are great. We love this stroller! Very happy with our purchase and would buy one again in a heartbeat. I wish I knew about this when my oldest was a baby. I had 4 different strollers at one point and wasn't in love with any of them. Good luck and hope I helped with your question. It's pretty straight up and down.

Low to the floor. It doesn't raise up. We are happy with the bed overall, but you have to be carefull when pulling out the trundle.
