BassiNest Soothing Swivel Sleeper 3.0, Baby Bassinet with Vibration and White Noise, Grey

This thing is amazing. I got a free Snoo bassinet from my employer but I hated it. I had a c-section so I looked up the brand bassinet that was used in the hospital and saw that it was a halo. Two of the things I really loved about the one in the hospital were: 1. It could swivel to me so I could pull the bassinet to me from the hospital bed, which was SO helpful while recovering from surgery. 2. The side of the bassinet is collapsible so I could pick up baby from the bassinet so easily. The weight of my forearms would collapse the side of the bassinet while I was picking her up - so I didn’t have to use my abdominal muscles at all. Some additional features this one has that I love: The sides are mesh so I don’t have to worry about baby rolling over and not being able to breathe if he face is against a side. The height is perfect for pulling over a bed. The bassinet basket is removable! We took it off of the base and brought it to a hotel so baby could still sleep in a familiar space. It has several sound and vibration settings. I love using the heartbeat sound for my baby. Helps her fall asleep. The size is good and as a bassinet, it is the most functional one I’ve had. I wish I had bought one for my first two c-sections. It is a bit on the heavier side - but only if you have to carry it around. If you keep it stationary next to your bed and just deal with the swivel function, it is a piece of cake! I love it and this is seriously one of the best items I’ve purchased post c-section. It is a worth every penny. Also highly recommend the halo swaddles. This company has got sleep down pat for babies!

I spent a lot of time deciding on my first baby's bassinet and finally chose this one and I'm glad I did. It was not too big. The base is wide but it fit under my bed so was not much in the way. The swivel was great for getting out of bed and I liked that I could them through the mesh. The vibration also helped I think. Our room was very small and this was a great fit. I can't wait to put my next baby in it

Just to list some pros and cons. Pros: Love love that it swivels around. I can easily move the bassinet if it's in the way and I can bring my baby closer to me when I want. Love the size of the bassinet. Cons: Definitely don't think the extra cost for the soothing center is worth it. The light is not nearly strong enough to see anything. The sounds are way too quiet. And the only thing I like is the vibration but I could have just bought an attachment for 20 dollars and it would have accomplished the same thing. Also not happy with how many batteries it uses up so quickly and I only use the vibration once a day!

The only difference between Soothing Swivel Sleeper 3.0 and Swivel Sleeper 3.0 is they additionally provide this device which you attach to the same bassinet. The former is $300 and latter is $220 suggesting this device costs $80. This device does the following: 1. Lights: there are 2 pairs of led lights, one pointing down to the floor and one pointing into the bassinet from the side where the baby sleeps. When the bassinet is turned and is on the bed, the bottom lights are blocked entirely. Both the lights are pretty useless. You are better off with a night light you can remote control. 2. Soothing sounds: These are very low in volume and you have 4-5 options. There are way better options out there which can have multi uses. This device is stuck to the bassinet, so it can't be reused. 3. Vibration: This is honestly the biggest joke/gimmick. There are 2 levels/intensity of vibration. You can barely feel these vibration on the bassinet but the problem is it is very loud! I definitely won't be able to sleep with this on. I honestly can't imagine my baby (not here yet as of this writing) will like these vibrations. So $80 for a bunch of useless features. Don't waste your money on this. There was a deal during prime day where I bought this for $210 which is $10 less than the Swivel Sleeper 3.0, hence I am keeping it. Coming to the Swivel Sleeper/bassinet itself, the legs are extremely wide, way wider than what you can imagine. So based on the height of your bed, the legs may or may not entirely go under the bed. Either ways, getting in and out of the bed is not easy, especially when you are recovering from a child birth. I'll post an update once the baby is here and when I start using this. TL;DR: The soothing device which is about $80 isn't worth the money. The bassinet itself is fine but the legs are extra large and take up a lot of space.

Nice but the legs at the bottom are really long
