Can I change the levels of the bed so I won't bend inside to grab my infant baby?

You can put it up high for when the baby is smaller, and then you can lower it when the baby gets bigger.

Yes, the crib has three levels. With a thicker mattress which we purchased as an add on the top level is just below waist level. I am 5'9''.

I do that occasionally, but for me it's just easier to step over it. I suppose it would also depend on how snuggly you need it to fit. We use it to keep our dogs out of the kitchen, and they don't really challenge it. If you have a baby who is trying to pull himself up by grabbing it, I think you would want it to fit more snuggly than we keep ours.

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it.So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous.All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months.Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play.I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

there is an adjustable chain that allows you to get the seat at the right height for your baby to touch the floor. it works for ours and he's the same height as yours

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 do not think so, we just turn it away for the baby. This way it did not seem to bother her. You could cover it with dark tape, but I do not recommend that.

No. It bends. I bought it so my 10 month old can crawl in and out of it and not feel trapped.

I didn't use mine as a bedside bassinet for that reason. I let my baby sleep in it one night and she slid to the bottom and her little legs were all crunched up. I only used it during the day for naps.

Yes you can. I have one in mine right now...along with one in both of our diaper changing baskets. I just ordered more because when babies are little, they have a tendency to go while you are changing them and are were getting ours soiled faster than we could wash them. These have saved my couch and bed several times and our little one is only 2 weeks old.

If you anchor it to your bed, the side next to the bed should be rolled down permanently. So, when you're in bed, you just reach over and pick up your baby. You shouldn't be rolling up and down the side each time.

I haven't had any issues with the upper level. The changing portion holds the baby fine as well but it does tend to want the baby in the corner instead of the center but no issues for us. We love this play yard.

I haven't tried that but it seems to key in on the baby's movement more, however any movement will make it think all is ok. Try to only use it in a static environment where the baby is the only thing that can move.

Yes, definitely ! There is no spring inside, so it will bend following the adjustable bed. I have it in my trailer, underneath the bed there is storage, when I lift the lid of the bed, the mattress also bend following the curve of the platform.

You're not supposed to do that because of a SIDS risk, BUT I've heard of people putting it under the fitted sheet and propping the infant up that way. Hope this helps and Good luck :)

Nope to change to a toddler bed, the front comes off so it looks like a daybed but the change table is still there attached. You can't separate them as the change table acts as one side of the crib. It's a very solid crib, we love it!

I have not put the crib together yet. I'm going to use a different changing pad too. Sorry :(

Not that I know of. Only option is to take seat section off so the baby (when walking) can use the activity center. We are currently in the "almost too big" and "not quite walking" stage. However, my grandson is still quite interested in playing with all the various activities (I am helping him to stand as he plays). Hope this perspective helps!
