Can you rock the baby to sleep in this effectively?

It depends on your baby. I had both the keyfit caddy and keyfit 30 carseat, and my son would eventually (as in, after 30-40 minutes of continuous walking) fall asleep when pushing the baby in this set up. I think the carseat was comfortable for him, but the keyfit caddy was not a particularly smooth ride on lumpy sidewalks.

first of all, it does not rock; it's a stroller to pair with baby car seat. That being said, my child sleeps really well in it - again, it's just sleeping in his car seat. It's good when the baby is asleep and you can still use a stroller without waking the baby up.

Personally, I do not choose to use it. I know my baby isnt going to jump out of the rocker, I feel safe just placing her in it. Plus I can pick her up quickly, I do not need to unbuckle anything.

I think so! Surely it's personal preference too. It is lower to the ground than the common bassinets that come with a stand. It does vibrate and can rock but doesn't rock on its own like a cradle swing would. Our baby is currently six months and often sits in there to play and occasionally naps in there. When he was a newborn it was the perfect place to lay him down. We liked the size as it was very portable around the house. The middle position ended up being very useful as he had reflux. Overall I think it's a great option as it costs less than most bassinets and we are still using it in the upright positions. I think so! Surely it's personal preference too.

If you put it in the fully reclined position it should be ok, they will just be tiny in it. It will only rock once they are strong enough to kick their legs and rock it. You may want a swing for when they are younger now that I think about it. I would refer to their website to see what they say. We also had a Mamaroo that we put her in to nap, we used the Baby Bjorn more when were eating or showering. She's a year this week and I still put her in the Bjorn when she has her bottles.

Yes, you probably could but in our experience, the thicker the pad the better otherwise the central support bar can be annoying. One person can indeed sleep on this but not in the center unless you have a very thick pad. I have sat on it, napped on it without having any feeling like it was going to tip over. Kids can crawl on it without any risk of it tipping over but the steel support beams could hurt them if they fall on it. Again, well padded mattress (or good air mattress) solves this problem. though some air mattresses will slide around when no one is on it holding it in place.

Yes! You can lay your chest and arm on it. My wife just had a baby and we used it and support her from every angle. A really recommended.

Absolutely! The bassinet portion detaches from the base and is curved on the bottom so when you set it on the floor you can rock your little one. When we used ours for overnight sleeping we did take the hood off, but it works fine with it on too. There are also cloth straps that tuck into zippers on the outsides of the bassinet so once you take baby out you can pick it up easily.

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

If your experience is anything like mine, I would say no. The mattress sits on the ground, so, depending on your height, it is never the most comfortable thing to put the baby in and take the baby out of and would be horrible to have to do multiple times a night when the baby first comes home.

Our 5 month old is no longer comfortable in this sleeper. She's too active and slides down with her feet dangling and her neck in an uncomfortable position. I think you can use it for travel purposes if it's a short trip. I wouldn't use it for too long though. I think it's light enough to take with you.

No it does not. But it doesn't just rock easily when putting baby in or out. I don't think you would find this to be an issue.

Absolutely! We live this and have had baby in it since about 2 weeks -SheLoves this little sleeper!

No way its too heavy. Plus in reality your kid will be out of the co sleeper so fast it'll make ur head spin! Unless ur baby is colic, at that age u will have no problem getting them to sleep and you won't need the gadgets quite so fast.

If this baby is used to sleeping on their tummy, than no. But, if your baby rolls over during the night, this will stop them from rolling over.

Possibly. You can buy an insert to help keep baby snug if it doesn't work as is.

I haven't tried that but I can imagine that would work nicely. My baby sleeps directly on top of it and for the most part it stays in place well. The fabric is absorbent and breathable so when she spits up it does a good job of keeping her relatively dry.
