Do we need to buy extra paddings/skirts for the bassinet? Looks like it was surrounded by mesh all around... .

Everything came with it except sheets. You can use a king size pillow case as a sheet.

It is not recommended that you add any extra padding by the manufacturer. The mesh makes it breathable all around. The only things I added were risers to bring it to the correct height next to my bed.

I use a different mattress with a bassinet sheet. The original mattress is a super thin pad. Just a little thicker than a changing pad that comes with a diaper bag. I don't think they make sheets small enough to fit the original pad. The new mattress fits perfectly and I love this bassinet!

I contacted Graco and they stated that they do not make sheets for the bassinet. :( Pretty bummed - I don't think I would have bought this if I had known.

I would have to measure it, but it is a little lower than a bassinet. if you want to email me, I can send you a picture of it with a moses basket made of bulrush in it and you could probably get an idea by the surroundings. janbrooks@epbfi.com

I ended up cutting the canopy off...My baby would put her feet up and it got in the way. I do like how open it is. I compared this to the rock n play bassinet and thought the dream on me has more air room with the mesh sides.

It just fits the outside of the hood. It does have a piece that comes down from the ruffle in the front., so you don't see much of the wicker underneath. I have a vintage (1960's) bassinet, and the skirt and hood fit perfectly.

There isn't a pad that specifically goes with this bassinet. And they don't recommend using one, which is crazy because your baby would basically be laying on a hard board. We bought the LA Baby 4-sided 32" changing pad with rounded edges that worked really well.

NEVER add a pillow, comforter, or another mattress for padding. - See more at: http://www.kidco.com/products-page/peapod/peapod-p3010/#sthash.Tpxa1DI4.dpuf.

Yes-the side that is down in the picture can be raised up so it's just like a bassinet. I used mine like that for my second baby, and it was great. Both side are mesh and breathable. Hope this helps!

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.

To be honest with you, and to save you some time and energy.....my purchase was a gift and I no longer have it. What I did was measure my bassinette, taking note of the curves and actually go into the store and pick it out myself. I did the same thing with the pacnplay...they both need more cushion.

Stephany, we used an uppababy stroller bassinet and it worked great. Check your dimensions for your bassinet to the uppababy. I think we even tightened up the curved plastic pieces to make it a little more snug - rescrewed them - but that was just to make sure the bassinet did not shift by maybe an inch. It was still very secure before we did that. It worked out great and we were so glad we didn't purchase a more expensive, seperate bassinet. Kathy

The fabric hood cover is separate. There are two little openings in the elasticized portion of the skirt for the hood frame. Our bassinet didn't have a hood and this worked very well for us - the openings are hardly noticible if at all.

I personally did not use a bassinet sheet. I tucked a blanket around the pad. This bassinet has a pad that is detachable. You would definitely be able to place a sheet on it if it was the correct size. I truly love this bassinet. We use it all the time.

The changing pad is not enough. I would recommend getting a separate one that you can also buy covers for.

No additional padding. We've used a bulky sweatshirt or a pillow when space isn't an issue.
