Can you lift the mattress up for when they are newborn?

Yes, the Highest level is about 3/4 of the way up the crib the middle position is about 1/2 way and lowest position it's pretty low.

There are 3 positions. We actually "rigged" it so that it had a higher position for newborn. I am sure it is not recommended to do that but it was sturdy.

It is a mini crib no adjustments doesn't even hold a regular size crib mattress.

Tough to tell since I guess it depends on your bed height, and how long your arms are. But I would say probably not. It has adjustable heights but I don't think they are high enough to pick up the baby without having to stand up first. We didn't use this until he was older and more mobile, around 5 months maybe.

Yes, but it isn't waterproof. If your newborn leaks it might still get on the actual matress therefore defeating the purpose of a matress cover.

I think it means the mattress can be placed higher (for a newborn) or lower like the photo shows for a toddler.

No. Latch it in and you are done. Unless I totally missed something. It is at the perfect angle if you ask me. I don't think I would be comfortable with a newborn in it. I started using ours at 7 months....

You can set the mattress on the high level for a younger baby and set it lower for a toddler. I just LOVE this crib for my grandchildren!!!

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

You can. Just keep in mind though that only half of the bassinet is then exposed. If your baby is able to roll over, he may roll under the changing station. It is recommended in the instructions to not use the changing table in this manner. Also, it is worth noting that the napper is rather difficult to take on and off, but the changing station is simple. You could remove it until you need it and just click it back into place.

When the baby is so small that you have to bend all the way over to pick her up, the mattress is at the highest level so you are not reaching far. By the time the baby is bigger and more mobile, you have to drop the crib down to the lower/lowest levels (to keep her from climbing out). By that time, she can stand up and reach for you to help out. If you had to bend over the rail and reach all the way down to the mattress placed on the lowest level, yes, it would be uncomfortable (I am 5'4" and this only occurs when my now-toddler refuses to wake up and I have to persist), but that should not happen often at all.

Yes! But the baby is in a reclining position still, you can raise it to an incline but it is never fully upright like a highchair! My daughter never uses the bassinet with it but loves that she can see her baby as she pushes her!

You will want something supportive for an older baby too. A newborn can sleep on anything that isn't too soft. Really, your baby won't care too much until he's older so it depends on your use( everyday, grandma's, etc. )

We used a thicker mattress for comfort, but once the baby got more active the thicker mattress allowed her to stand a little taller in the crib. We simply dropped the mattress frame down further. We've not experienced any further issues, still love this crib. I hope that helps you!

technically you can, yes. remove the pillows first, though, in order to make the baby fit.

Depends on mattress height I guess. You may not be able to see the baby, but would be able to reach in and pat him/ her. If this helps you, the bassinet is about 11 inches from the floor and the side of the bassinet is about 7 inches. So you need to reach 18 inches up and go down 7 inches :)

It is an newborn mattress...enough to support small weights like less then 20 pounds or so

Yes, you can, but there is no point in doing so. It only adds unnecessary weight, as the frame is already slated with sturdy wood beams upon which one places his or her mattress.
