The Windmill scheme is a clean, modern white with soothing geometric patterns on the bottom in pale, earthy colors. A removable night light piece allows babies to enjoy calming projections to help lull them into Lily White’s party. The mobile shows a sweet baby lion and several stars.

An array of soft textures and soothing vibrations will soothe your sleepyhead. Durable plastic makes up the majority of the frame. The mattress sits roughly 15.5 inches from the floor. The top guard rail is 28.5 inches from the base and the mobile sits at 46 inches off the ground.

Safety

This bassinet is safe for children to use until they reach 25 pounds or are able to pull themselves up independently, whichever comes first. The netting surrounding the mattress keeps babies securely inside while the guard rail is high enough that they can’t roll out of their bassinet.

Design

Sending your baby to sleep is also made a lot easier with its 2-speed vibration function. The canopy provides adequate protection for baby’s eyes while also serving as an attachment to plush toys that can be dangled overhead to keep your infant entertained while he or she is awake. There’s also a storage compartment underneath so you don’t have to worry about getting a separate storage bag for your young child’s things.

Materials

Graco designed this bassinet to be the one piece of gear your baby uses in the first couple of months. Part bassinet, part changing pad it is meant to be used longer than many items on this list. This is a great bassinet for parents who don’t need a travel sleeper and would like the additional features/storage. Changing your baby’s diapers has never been this easy. At least, there’s no need to bring baby from the Dream Suite all the way to the changing area. You can do it right on the Dream Suite.

Safety

The system easily yet securely locks into position so there’s no danger of your infant falling whether he or she is sleeping or his or her diapers are being changed. It has a very sturdy A-frame that connects to fully lockable wheels.

Design

A smaller sleeping area, though it seems uncomfortable or tight to adults, is the perfect way for your swaddled miracle to sleep peacefully.

The clever design uses breathable fabric throughout creates some protective shade with mesh panels between to allow mom and dad to keep an eye on baby while he or she is sleeping or relaxing inside. This lightweight fabric and open frame also create good air flow for breathing and comfort and a sealed padded mattress give just the right amount of soft support for baby’s naps.

This travel bassinet has everything baby needs to sleep on the go. Its fold flat design even has an attached handle for carrying convenience. When it’s time to rest the locking feature and mesh sides keep baby sleeping safely. This makes a great choice for parents that plan to travel while baby is young. The innovative lightweight design is something worth mentioning. But what really impressed us was the Fold N’ Go’s patented lock system so that the whole cradle stays in place no matter what surface you lay it down on.

Safety

The Safe-T-Lock System uses a double-locking tubular steel frame with a special dual release mechanism. This guarantees your baby’s fingers and toes will never be trapped between the steel frame pieces while it the bassinet is locked open. When you’re ready to go home, the process reverses with little effort and the frame can be easily collapsed and packed for compact, lightweight carrying with its own handle. This product is made of polyester, steel, and machine washable cotton.

The stable 4-point base easily adjusts in height and the wheels can slide right under the bed, putting the bassinet anywhere from the edge of the bed to right over it. The side wall lowers to make it easy to get to baby using a minimal amount of movement and without getting out of bed. A Back to Bed Reminder gives mom an alert when it’s time to put baby back in the bassinet after feeding.

Another technological convenience is the electronic music module which can provide soothing sounds to comfort baby to help him sleep or simply to add sensory stimulation.

If baby is between mom and dad it doesn’t matter who does the comforting, only that baby is happy.
