Can this be used as a bed? I would like to put it next to my bed to use it at night for the first few months for my newborn.

I'm not sure if legally it is but my daughter does. My grandson refuses to sleep on a flat surface such as a crib or playpen.

I don't think so. I wouldn't use it as a bed. You should use a bassinet. My baby won't sleep in the swing for over an hour or two. We use a pack and play that has a bassinet attached. She sleeps in that for up to four to five hours.

the infant may like it for 3 to 4 hrs but not whole night. i won't recommend it

Yes, I'd say this item is essentially a bassinet. We use this as a bassinet at night and for occasional naps during the day. The bed is not heavy so it's easy to move around your home if needed. We don't have the matching bouncer but find this works well on its own. Our baby is three months old and in the 90th percentile for height but it looks like this will fit her for while. Bottom line, if you love the design I'd go for it. I think our baby would probably sleep just as well in something cheaper, but I'm glad to have something neutral and simple around.

Yes! I've had my three month old next to my bed in this since the very beginning. It is a life saver! Must buy. :)

Yes, you just have to place a good comforter so the baby is more comfortable. My baby started using it at 2 mo and right now he is 15 mo and he sleeps on it right on our side.

We have used it for naps, but not long periods of time. The pad is not anything like a mattress. I don't think it's meant to be a bed.

I'm pretty sure you can't. There are slightly other configurations, for instance with a twin bed under. It's a great bed, very durable, my kids love it. The full sized bed is on casters and can stand alone, so you don't have to use it if you don't want it.

Yes, you could use it without the mattress. As others have stated - there is a bar that runs down the middle so a person would need to lay on one side or the other. I'd prefer it with a mattress, but again could be used without.

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.

We use it on a table for changing but it would work great on a bed. I think it's one of the best baby products we bought. It's sturdy and super easy to clean.

It would not be worth it. The bed is not that high. I would just put the mattress on the floor until your baby is ready for a bed.

I'm guessing here as I haven't tried it- I bet it would be fine when laid flat on frame as a bed- if there's enough support. But it wouldn't be able to sit up by itself as a couch when bed is flipped up, would be too floppy I think. That said, we have pulled it off the sofa fold out before and put it next to the kids bed in bedroom on floor for sleepovers- it really is quite comfortable even if only a few inches thick.

I have reservations about using this as a full time bassinet. I was looking for something versatile as space is limited for us. Thought this would work until I realized the sides are solid and baby could wiggle against it increasing the chance of suffocation. The solution to that would be to strap baby in but then you couldn't use a swaddle and baby might not be able to stretch if they wanted. It's still good napper and play area, just one where you would want to use while you are awake if not strapping in baby.

My baby is 2 months old. She has slept in this every night so far. Right now I'm using it on stage 1 bassinet. But as she grows I will switch to stage 2, then take the bassinet out and use it as a crib that way until I feel like I can move her out of my bedroom. I would think you could use this up until 18 months old as an every night crib. But it is small, so after that I think you would want a bigger size for older infants to have more sleeping room.

Yes you can, it has instruction with the crib on how to do that as well as make it into a full sized bed. I noticed another person said no it can't but mine came with instructions to do so. I haven't yet because my son isn't ready but I will be soon. Its a great crib, we really love it.

It would be for the nursery because it is a glider, used for rocking baby to sleep. We no longer use it for baby and have it in the living room because it looks nice. While it is comfortable to sit in, I wouldn't say it is for lounging because it isn't large enough.

It would be way to tall with a box spring. It has slats you put on the bed to act as a box spring. Without a box spring we still have to climb into it lol

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height
