Can you use this as a bassinet or is it strictly for napping?

The company disclaimer says it is for napping but since newborns really only nap anyway, there isn't much difference! We didn't use it for nighttime sleep but personally I would not feel unsafe doing so. There is so much air circulating around the sides - much more than many bassinets - that I can't see how it would be unsafe. We used this downstairs in our living room because it was nice-looking, compact, and easy to move into other rooms. Upstairs we used a slightly larger travel crib.

Yes! I've used it as my babies bassinet since she came home from the hospital. She will be 3 months next week. I plan on using it till she gets too big. She was a small baby so I'm not sure how well it would work if you had a large baby. I love it! Clean and simple. And chemical free!

Yes, I'd say this item is essentially a bassinet. We use this as a bassinet at night and for occasional naps during the day. The bed is not heavy so it's easy to move around your home if needed. We don't have the matching bouncer but find this works well on its own. Our baby is three months old and in the 90th percentile for height but it looks like this will fit her for while. Bottom line, if you love the design I'd go for it. I think our baby would probably sleep just as well in something cheaper, but I'm glad to have something neutral and simple around.

I liked using the napper outside of the pack n play and laying it on the sofa or bed as a soft place for baby to lay down on. I like the shade on it too to keep the light out of it's eyes. We did not use it as an overnight sleeper, because we were not sure it was good for the baby to not be on firm bedding, so we did not take the chance. The higher sleeping area is where he first slept. The baby will not sleep overnight anyways.

The sheet is made for the mattress only. Do not use it on the top bassinet. It would be a danger to a newborn.

We have a similar pack n play from Graco with the bassinet and yes I think it would work fine. I put my little one down for naps in it. I use a sleep positioner wedge to keep her in place in it and to make it cozier. Ours came with a diaper changing area too which is so handy!

I don't know we don't use it for that, just as a carriage. We have a separate bassinette..

It's padded enough for a baby to sleep comfortably. Extended period of time? Maybe for a nap but not overnight, unattended. It that's what you're looking for then you might want to buy a bassinet.

No, a bassinet mattress won't fit in it. For safety, I wouldn't recommend using anything else other than the pad that comes with it. My grandson is 5 months old now and still sleeps through the night in it. I haven't measured the pad but I think the size is on the web site

It's not a mattress at all! It's more like a play pen, with a material liner! We used it for my granddaughter, but it was very hard and not very deep. I would suggest a real bassinet with a mattress.

Yes and Yes.I actually found it annoying attached to the bed because I had to crawl to the foot of my bed to get out. I also found that I needed to sit up with my legs off the bed to have the leverage to lift the baby into my bed. It was too awkward to reach over while lying down.So I used it as a bassinette but it's size made it really portable for holidays or RV camping and height made it easier to lay the sleeping baby down as opposed to a pack n play where you have to reach down to the ground.

It is not really made for a bed... it is something to use by itself... might be usable on a twin size bed, but they do not advise using for sleeping...

Yes, its a very nice feature. I still use it like a bassinet for my 6 month old, he is still a little guy.

I used the mattress in an antique bassinet that was in the family. It fir just fine for that. I would be concerned about the fit if the baby was old enough to roll around, for a new born it worked fine. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height

We used it like a bassinet. It's very sturdy and cradles the baby, offering cozy comfort. A much older baby who is fighting sleep may require the restraints , but otherwise, I don't think so. We loved ours and have given them as gifts to very grateful friends.

My baby is currently sound asleep on it! It fits perfectly in the bassinet and seems to be comfortable for him. It's good quality too, I would recommend it.

I love this travel crib, but I would say no. Mainly because the mattress sits on the floor. It would work as a bassinet, but it wouldn't be very convient in the middle of the night.

I only use it at work for a travel bed. I would not use this as the regular sleeping bed because it does not have enough stuffing to support the joints. It does wash well and travel well.
