Does the front panel drop down for easier access to the baby?

No. Everything is bolted securely. Eventually the front panel comes off to turn into a bed.

No, it does not. You'll want to do some back exercises to prepare for the extra strain.

No. That has proven to be unsafe and newer cribs are no longer using that design. I have 5 kiddos and I purchased this crib for baby #5. The front side is lower than an older style crib's front panel when it is up, if that makes sense. I have used this from newborn through toddler stages and it is super. You won't be disappointed! It's a bargain for the price...it is beautiful.

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.

No. the base board (the mattress lays on top of it) holds the side back and prevents the sides from coming in.This crib is a life saver. I am thrilled that I bought it.

Yes. Also the hard feet are below the bottom of the bassinet, so if placed on a hard surface there is a space underneath and the baby is suspended by an inch or so anyway. Hope that makes sense.

You choose whether you want the baby to have access to the home button or not based on the way you put the iPad in the case.

Yes after practicing a few times I found it easy to put on alone and now it's really quick. I snap the bottom and then use both arms to reach up and back to snap the top but to undo the top I use one arm to hold the baby and the other I reach from the back upwards to undo. It's really not bad at all. :)

Not really. I bought the ultra plush changing cover pad from Summer Infant and it does not sit well on the pad. It makes the pad look flat, but you can still put the baby and it stays in place. It just looks awkward.

Yes, absolutely. It is even a little higher, so you don't have to bend as far to pick the baby up when you are recovering.

No but the back part is removable so you can put it on once you switch to front facing.

I used it with my baby front facing but it was a little tricky at first to get it "just right." After a couple of times I became a pro!

We've never had a problem with it. That part isn't accessible when it's laid in a crib with a sheet on top. This is coming from a first time mom who's completely anal about anything safety related.

the pad can be placed higher so u can change your baby and then to lower it you take metal bars that keep it in place

No, the front is completely open. Although, the screen sits slightly recessed so the screen doesn't come in contact with the surface you sit it on when facing down.

Yes it is :) right down the middle is an opening. Actually bought this for my sister in law and i kind of wished i bought this one instead because the one i had doesnt open in the middle the only opening i had was a mesh screen and covered so it was just a window and if i wanted to access baby i needed to take the whole front off.

If baby is upright in the stroller, access is easy. If reclined/sleeping, not so much.

Actually the seat could be raised or lowered as I best remember it and we did so at the time but it quickly went to the home of her parents. She was quite taken with the keyboard and easily moved it around. I could recommend it and unless the baby in question is unusually tall then it should be fine.

No. Try the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Carrier to carry baby front forward facing. I found when baby was old enough to want to see around, hip wearing sufficed, and after that back wearing and he can see over or around my shoulder. Ergobaby is fantastic!
