If you are starting to think it might be a good idea, do it. It is better to lower it a little to be safe then to take any kind of chance... my experience: third kid is on the way...

I think we lowered the mattress when our son was able to reach up and grab the bumper - we anticipated that he would be pulling up - sometime before he pulled up on the sides. My second son is 4 months and hasn't rolled over yet, so we haven't lowered it yet. If you have to ask yourself twice, that usually means just do it! You'll feel better. What's it going to hurt? It's better to lower it too early than too late.

My baby is 8 months now. He is starting to crawl and lifting himself up by holding onto the bars, trying to cross over to our bed. So it's time to remove the bassinet! You will know when it gets dangerous for them :)

We still have ours and it seems to be holding up well. I can't remember when we bought it though. Probably over a year ago, or around a year. My only complaint is that it seems to move and every couple of months I have to re-center it. Could be the way we get on and off the bed if we scoot or something. I don't really know.

Only had to do that once in 10 months...remove mattress pad underneath. While i change sheets every week to keep them clean since babys face is on it and drools on it too. Definitely do save time and eorth the money

Only use it occasionally, when my grandchildren visit. It is a safety issue and is illegal to sell drop down cribs anymore. You can adjust the height of the mattress up or down depending on the age & size of the child.d

I did not see a warning label about the thickness of the mattress. I did buy also a 3 inch thick mattress. In the highest position the bed can go in, the warning may be because there is less room before a very active baby could go over the rail. This is just a guess on my part. I am planning on lowering the position of the mattress as soon as my grandson becomes an active roller.

We have a delta mini crib, and the mattress seems too "fluffy" to put the baby in. Maybe when she's able to lift her head or even sit up. Right now our baby sleeps in a rock n play, and she seems to like that. You can use rock n plays until their 6 months or 25lbs I believe. Or when they can sit up.

I have a 13 foam bed. Adjusting it is not something I want to do often. If you want to put in place and leave it do....but to make adjustments a few times a day....not worth it. Because you have to lift it fully in order to lower it, then lift it again. But I do still love the bed frame....I sleep full time on the first notch up.

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!!!

Kasha, I'm sorry for my delayed replied had been out of town for a while....to answer your question the answer is absolutely yes, this will make a perfect side bed for the first 3 months. once the baby begins to roll over his/her back it is not as it may roll and fall out of it. This item comes along with a bassinet that goes on top which is what is just perfect as a side bed so you wont have to lean down in order to check on your baby at night as you are in your bed, just turn around and simply look at your baby almost at your same bed level (depending on what bed and mattress you have), hope this works for you! Regards, Grace.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

I would just push the mattress up to fit tighter at the top of the bed. It would be much safer and that's what I did for all my kids beds.

It's pretty straight up and down. I have not used the position with my 7 month old yet. We use the position where he's semi upright or all the way flat. I think the position your talking about is best for an older toddler, around 2 or 3 years old. At least for me, it's too vertical for an infant, but the other positions are great. We love this stroller! Very happy with our purchase and would buy one again in a heartbeat. I wish I knew about this when my oldest was a baby. I had 4 different strollers at one point and wasn't in love with any of them. Good luck and hope I helped with your question. It's pretty straight up and down.

Where does it say that? This is for newborns and it's actually recommended that once the baby is sitting up, rolling around, s/he be moved to a crib because they are now to active for the small space. My son has been sleeping in this since we brought him home and he will be four months old next week.

I used it in both the bassinet and the bottom of the play yard. Of course it does add some height, so as soon as baby starts to roll, I would start using it in the bottom part only. I even used my sleep sense infant movement monitor under this mattress with absolutely no problems.

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

Sort: Most Helpful first | Newest first | Oldest first I use one of these for long sleeve tee-shirt type tops. The other has jeans/casual pants, and these are in the back of my laundry room, so you can see one over the other. They set pretty low, maybe 3 feet from the floor. I also think the lower they are set, the more stable they become. That's some three-year-old you got there who will hang up her own clothes....I was blessed with two sons, now adults, and they still don't hang things up! I think your little girl will do just fine with your using the trigger height adjustment to set it at its lowest level.
