Does this bassinet rock on its own? If yes, how long is the rocking cycle before it has to be restarted? Also, can the music be silenced while rocking

It's more of a sway than a rock, but yes. It sways as long as you leave it on. You can do sway and music, music only, or sway only. I love it.

It rocks for quite some time. You can also adjust the speed depending on the weight of the baby. Yes, the sound is separate and can be silenced.

Yes, somehow our 5 month old set it off and it began playing music. I can't find any answers regarding this though.

From what I remember, no. It will provide vibration and or music for a certain amount of time. The other option is if you leave it on all night it will turn on when it recognizes a noise from baby, stay on for a while and then reset to respond again when baby wakes. Hope this helps

There is a pull and twist pin that will either keep the rocking movement locked, or allow for continuous rocking. The pin handle is a little difficult to engage/disengage.

On mine you have to actually kind of take it apart. The cross member that you can see in the pictures has little tabs that you press to pull off the rocking legs, and also the bars for the sleeper part. Not the easiest method if you have to do it daily, but also not the hardest thing in the world.

We have found it can be noisy. It's on carpet so we move it slightly to rebalance and reduce the noise. Some times we even tap it on the side to giggle it a little.

Hi there,Thanks for your input. We ended up buying this rocker for our baby before he was born (he's now 9 months, so it's all packed away now). We loved it! We had no problems with it tipping. It's funny to see that I was so worried about it in my third tri-mester state :-)

I didn't try it out at Babies R Us since it was ordered online. How should it normally sound? Rather loud or quiet?

it rotates through songs, but you can push the play button on top and it will switch to the next song, I think theres only a couple songs but they are all soothing, not annoying like other toys lol.

Yes in my opinion. My son been sleeping in his since he was born. I use the rock n play more than his bassinet that's just how much he loves it and works very well in small spaces like beside the bed. I love this product and highly recommend it.

Yes but very minimal. It took less than 5 min to do it. Very easy. My niece loves it! You will probably have to do most of the rocking tho. It's a little difficult to rock.

Hi John,We sure do use it all the time as a full time bassinet! We do put a cozey blanket inside it so that it's a bit more comfortable - which means we don't personally use the strapping in mechanism - yet - because the blanket is on top of it. I bring the rocker everywhere I go in the house. He's either in the rocker, in my arms, or in my arms in bed - that is really the only place I lay him down when he's not in my arms. I hope this answers your question? :-)

No, but my daughter also loves the music so much she often turns it on in the mornings and after naps when she wakes up. It puts her in a good mood and she'll happily play with her toys in the crib while it's on. I can't count how many times it's given us an extra few minutes of needed shut-eye in the early morning! The thing's been a godsend for us. And our now 21-month-old is still delighted by it after nearly a year. I actually thing she associates the music with the "light show" she loves so much and doesn't seem to mind when she can't actually see the projections. Btw, other similar stuff like the sleep sheep, timed music players, etc., NEVER worked for her like this does.

No it does not have and auto shout off. But on thoses nights you can't possibly hold your little bundle of joy and the only thing that keeps them happy and asleep is the rocking motion and you are exhausted its amazing. My hubby works nights so it was just me and it was a life saver. Me and my baby both were able to sleep that way on those long nights.

I'm in the same boat! I just got this in the mail, but it doesn't make a sound, even though it indicates sound as well as need for Batteries. The belly of the rocking horse we got is sewn shut (no Velcro anywhere!), and it is clear that it is a hollowed out compartment, which is empty! The horse is definitely cute, it doesn't seem to be defective (at this point), aside from the missing audible component. We had planned this to be a Christmas gift, so we are unsure of how well-liked this rocking horse is. Am I the only one who didn't get the audible component and have a sewn-shut belly???

It can become noisy is you don't follow the cleaning instructions. Also I'd suggest to set their room up and tunr this on prior to them going to bed. Any noise that it does put out is really just white noise; we feel it helps our kids sleep.
