First time parents (we bought it ourselves)
May 23, 2020
We did not receive this as a paid item, I'm shocked at the bad reviews because it is by far the best item we purchased for our baby girl. She is 10 weeks and has slept in it since coming home from a c section birth. I am writing this review to help any parent to be who is questioning whether to give this bassinet a chance, as I was when I purchased it without any reviews posted. I paid fully out of pocket for this item except for a store coupon from my baby registry. Pros -The motions are very helpful in soothing our baby and the white noise and shhh have been amazing thus far. Just this week we started using the ocean noise and she seems to enjoy it paired with the "car ride" setting on the third speed. -I was very worried about purchasing a safe bassinet for long sleeping sessions and the mesh on this is amazing. We have already found our baby pressed against it a few times as she is growing extremely strong and thankfully she's been fine each time (It's definitely scary to see though). She is also quite heavy and if she kicks hard enough the bassinet will stop the motion which lets me know the sensors are great for safety. -The app is very helpful when we wake up to a fussy baby and want to help her self-soothe in the middle of the night. I'll usually turn up the speed of the motion and put on a soothing sound and it helps her fussiness decrease and she will fall asleep. We usually have the white noise on while she sleeps because we live in a noisy apartment. -it's aesthetic pleasing, the color is very neutral which is exactly what I was looking for, it's not a stark white, but more of a cool tone cream. -overall size of the bassinet is decent and it fits in front of the crib in our combined bedroom/nursery. We will store it in a few weeks when we transition to the crib. -extremely easy to clean all areas, including the mesh, control buttons and mattress pad. Cons: -vibration setting is quite loud/strong, I find it disruptive as we live in an apartment 3rd floor. My baby also does not seem to like it, even though she likes the milder rock and play vibration settings. - The sheets are very expensive, you need a few because blowouts and accidents happen and it adds up. We got 2 additional sheets and used her hospital swaddles to wrap the mattress pad (in the beginning when she had a lot of accidents) and that helped. -the basket should come included with the bassinet for the price we paid! $30 for it plus additional sheets starts to add up a LOT -the app has an annoying feature, it shows you all of the 4moms products and you have to click into the bassinet to control the settings. We don't own any other 4moms products so this is an additional annoyance every time we want to re-open the app. -the mattress pad seems quite thin but I like that it's covered in plastic and can be wiped down easily. It could fit a big more snug but we have not had issues with it, not a significant enough gap to be concerned. -I would have liked some type of storage bag/cover for the bassinet. We are going to transition baby to a crib soon and will be storing this bassinet, would be great to have a cover designed for it to keep the dust off of it until the next time we need it. -the should be a button to control the bassinet height instead of having to adjust it manually (this would help a c-section mom like myself a lot!) -the size of the bassinet can be outgrown quite fast, my baby was born 21.5in long and she's already close to her feet touching the mesh when fully extended, this will shorten the time we can use it as I do not want her legs to be cramped. My final say: I would definitely repurchase/recommend this bassinet as it's extremely useful and has been safe for our babygirl.

I was skeptical at first, but this bassinet was worth every penny. Whenever my daughter began to wake up in the night, it was simple to turn on the bassinet and calm her back to sleep. Highly recommend.

May 22, 2020
Bought this when it first came out in February. Was super excited to use it. New mom on the block... My only complaints are, power option is super bright at night and doesn't turn off for what seems like 2 minutes. I don't think my baby likes the bassinet much just because it doesn't seem that comfy. The pad that's in it is very thin. Unfortunately i feel like when i do place my baby in the bassinet she tends to sleep just as fine (if not better) without the motions on... which is what it's for. Overall I wanted to like it more than I do but every baby is different! Yours might love it!

Very great investment
May 13, 2020
Product is single mom friendly, as in it is light enough to carry into your house and easy enough for a wife/single mom to assemble by herself. Very straight forward instructions. Quality of product is great legs could be a little more stable, but isn't Awful. Buttons on touch screen are a little hard to press which was my only reason for 4stars. Mattress isn't very comfy for a newborn. My Fischer price bassinet was more comfortable for my newborn. The vibration isn't very effective as I feel it does not vibrate hard enough and you can't adjust the setting. My newborn seems to fall asleep fairly well in it and had stayed asleep 4-5 hours at the max which is great for me! I do wish it had a light that you could cut on to see your baby but other than all of this I love it

We bought the bassist almost 3 months ago, we've had not had any luck with it helping with ANY kind of easy nights! It has nothing to do with our baby not sleeping! The bassist makes such a horrible rattling noice! We called got a replacement, the new one came it. Same night it sounded like a lawnmower, called got a 3rd one, same thing!!!! So over it!!!!

It works!
May 7, 2020
My husband is a pediatrician, so we really wanted a safe sleep solution that also helped us get more sleep. When it became clear that our second child was also going to be a bad sleeper (our first woke up every 2 hours for the first 6 months of life!), we knew we needed some help. We were thrilled that 4moms had just released a bassinet, and got on the list right away, but we're super skeptical that it would help our bad sleeper, who was waking up every hour after midnight many nights. Less than a week in, we have gone from 4-5 night feedings to 2! It also reduces the amount of time we spend putting him to sleep. I'm still shocked it worked, but our little guy seemed to just need a little extra help staying asleep between sleep cycles. That being said, I do think there are a few negatives if you want a balanced perspective. The vibrate setting sometimes makes a loud noise if baby is not in the bassinet, so you have to turn it off before you get baby out and wait until baby is back in the bassinet before turning it on. This is slightly annoying, as one of the greatest features is being to turn it on from your phone while finishing up nursing before getting up to put baby down. I also agree with reviews that say that the mattress seems flimsy- it has to be minimal for sleep requirements of course but it does seem extra thin. It also seems excessive to charge $15 for an extra sheet when it only comes with one- it's so hard to find time to wash and dry it when baby is not asleep! Everything else is great- thanks 4moms!

Saved our sleep
May 5, 2020
We're currently about 5 nights into having this bassinet. Before we bought it, our 1 month old was waking up every 1-2 hours to "feed" - sometimes truly breastfeeding, sometimes just seeking comfort. We were exhausted by this sleep pattern, and pretty desperate for some z's. The first couple nights with the sleep bassinet, I think our 1 month old was getting used to it, and sleep was somewhat similar. But from the 3rd night on, our lives have changed! He has slept 5 and then 4 hour stretches - giving us some really solid sleep. It seems like the sleep bassinet (on car ride, level 3 speed, with vibrate and white noise, with our baby swaddled) has cut out the comfort awakenings - now, when our little one wakes up, it's truly because he's hungry. And, now his parents have the energy to take better care of him. We are very grateful for this bassinet!!

Extremely loud
May 4, 2020
We have been using this for the last few nights and all the functionality is pointless because when it's on it is SO loud. The vibration setting was The only one we could use without waking her from the noise. The second time using the vibration it made this unbearable shaking noise and again woke her up instantly from a sound sleep. The whole reason we got this was for the movements but if we can't use that it's just an overpriced bassinet.

Just okay, not revolutionary
May 3, 2020
It's a safe but expensive place to lay our baby down, that's about it. The Musical sound quality is poor. The vibration function makes a horribly loud noise so we cannot use that anymore. It has a cheap plastic quality to it. For something that cost 300$, I expected more. I think we would have liked this product more if they released the update/improved version after all the bugs and kinks are worked out. We also have an easy baby so the product doesn't seem revolutionary to us, maybe it be worth the cost if we had a fussy baby?? Who knows! Will try to sell to a desperate, sleep deprived family who needs it more and is willing to put up with the kinks. If Mamaroo wants advice, make the rim softer and malleable (like theHalo).

Beautiful design, cheap mattress insert
April 23, 2020
The look and structure of this bassinet is flawless. You basically won't find a better looking, modern bassinet anywhere else. It's easy to set up and use, and I'd recommend getting the basket also to store things baby or mom will need throughout the night. The whole point is to have baby sleep well though, and for our situation that's where this bassinet falls short. Our little one will sleep as long as he's swaddled in here, but he gets a little uncomfortable since the pad is not soft. I'd compare it to a plastic seat cushion. This was a strange choice for such a beautiful product.. as a result of this choice, our little one wakes up more easily as a result of sounds, etc. I'd recommend 4moms release a memory foam insert instead even if for an additional cost. It would be well worth the expense. More importantly it will match the craftsmanship of the bassinet overall.

Extremely loud with vibration on
March 5, 2020
Would've been the best product. How could you guys put a product out that's not 100% great? As soon as you turn the vibration on it grinds against the plastic and makes a loud noise over and over. And it looks like other people have the same problem. I put two stars because it's easy to assemble and it rocks great. But the vibration is a major LOUD issue. You can hear it throughout the house. Don't recommend.

Great idea poor execution
March 4, 2020
It worked great for one night though I'm not sure it actually helped my baby sleep better so I can't really speak to that. Turned it on the 2nd night and it made a loud grinding noise and a high pitch squeal. The following morning it wouldn't turn on at all. After reading several other reviews with similar complaints I decided to return and get something more reliable.

Worth every penny!
February 20, 2020
Iv has this bassinet since you launched it and let me tell you my 2mnth old absolutely loves it. We was having the worst nights because he only wanted to be held to sleep, and this bassinet has changed all of that. He now only wakes 2x a night and we are able to get some much needed sleep. The only things I wish you did differently is make the side collapse like the halo does it wld make a huge difference for breastfeeding moms. Also the vibration isn't to strong so maybe crank it up some, and lastly slim the base down some. OHHHHH AND! The timer of 4hrs max has got to go! My baby wakes up as soon as it stops. Lol But thank you for creating a product so amazing and that restores life back into new parents.

BROKE after one use
February 9, 2020
The bassinet broke after the first time we used it for our new baby. The motor started making a loud sound like it was breaking and the bassinet wouldn't turn off and just broke and on top of that the white noise/music won't turn on at all. I was sooo looking forward to this item and waited to purchase this for months and I am so extremely disappointed. Did they even do any real life testing other then the free products they gave out that ironically all gave 5 star reviews?? It sounds like people who paid over $300 for the bassinet are all having problems. This was the only bassinet we bought for baby and now we have nothing to put her in and it's been an awful experience without having a safe place for her to sleep! Not impressed and I would definitely not recommend this item!!

Quality and safety
January 28, 2020
I really enjoyed this product, the safety features are exactly what a new mom wants in a product, regardless if this is your first baby or fifth. The mamaroo bassinet has breathable mesh, which helps air flow and can prevent suffocation, its also important that the mamaroo has a more firm mattress for your baby to sleep on. The fact the this bassinet has movement is so helpful for soothing the baby, also I had never seen a bassinet that had this ability. There are five different motions, our baby loves the tree swing motion the best so far, i think because the swaying mimics they way I rock her. After using the product I love it and I couldn't really find any flaws, but visually its not my favorite, the top portion looks like your typically modern bassinet which is fine but the base/or bottom to me is very plain and bulky. The base may have to be bigger to house the mechanism that allows it to move. Also there is an app that allows you to do several things, I didn't use the app much so I wont comment on its usability yet. The bassinet comes with a basket that clips onto it, which is so helpful, I used it to store the diapers, wipes etc everything I could need to get to in the middle of the night, so I wasn't up looking for things. I know price is a factor for some people and I would consider it a bit expensive, though 4Moms will be offering payment plans which is so helpful. Naturally this would make a great gift or baby shower gift to anyone expecting. Overall I love the safety features, the product has a lot to offer. I received this product for free for review purposes, all thoughts and or opinions are based solely on my experiences and are unbiased.

4moms delivers another hit
January 28, 2020
This is the second 4moms product I have used with my kids and this one is great. It combines all the great features from the MamaRoo into a sleep safe bassinet. I feel great when I put my babies in there know they are sleeping in a safe position. We have triplet girls and two of my girls love sleeping in then MamaRoo Sleep. The vibrating function really seems to help also. I loved using the app to control our original MamaRoo and this has the same ability. The storage aspect under the MamaRoo Sleep is an added bonus to store burp clothes and diapers for quick access. I liked being able to see my babies through the mesh, but do wish one of the sides was collapsible. I have seen that feature on other products and think that would take this over the top. All in all, this is another winner in my house.

Love everything about this bassinet
January 28, 2020
I received this from WeeSpring Stellar panels in return of my review of this bassinet. I don't have anything to critique on this bassinet! As a mom of 3, sleep is valuable. And this bassinet helps in just that for my 6 week old baby. She loves the car motion. The bassinet comes with several motions, and white noise effects, it even has a vibration effect. It's simple and easy to set up and use, also had safe mesh sides. The bassinet even hooks up to the Bluetooth on my phone through an app. Really is an awesome bassinet.

Versatile features in a compact bassinet!
January 28, 2020
I was excited to try this bassinet for my newborn, especially since we have enjoyed the mamaRoo rockaRoo swing with both my newborn and toddler (when she was an infant). Both products are very easy to use, with easy on and off buttons for one handed use! They have the same sounds and motions as well. Both of my daughters like the tree swing motion. For the bassinet specifically, I felt very comforted by the mesh sides and firm surface, as sleep safety is a huge priority. Although the bassinet did not instantly improve my daughter's sleep, she does generally seem to feel comfortable in it and has had some good overnight stretches which any new parent can appreciate! I really like the vibrate feature, as the bassinet can vibrate independent of any other motion, and that is great. The only feature which I would improve upon is the volume, as even the quietest sound machine setting is a bit loud for my taste. I definitely recommend this bassinet since it is high tech, does not take up a lot of space, has many options for motion and sound, and can be adjusted for height. It also has storage space underneath and does not take up a great amount of space! I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Restful Nights for them and you!
January 27, 2020
I absolutely love this product! I received the Mamaroo Bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I live in a small apartment so a more compact bassinet like this one helped save space. It really helped on those restless nights with my 3 month old, the motions did wonders to calm and soothe her right to sleep! The flat pad and mesh sides were great for waking up and peeking in at her as well. It definitely has met my safe sleeping standards in a sleeper. The app is a great idea but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to work properly, it may have been only due to the fact that the app was still in beta testing mode. It may work better for other moms. I mainly used the manual buttons to adjust the motions. The mamaroo sleep bassinet has met and exceeded all my sleeping expectations, not only does she sleep better but so do I knowing she resting well and safe!

MamaRoo Bassinet is a newborn must have!
January 27, 2020
I recently had my 4th child and we were planning on using a plain old co-sleeper until Stellar Product Testing Panel offered to send us a MamaRoo bassinet. We have a mamaroo and have used it with all of our children so when finding out this was an option, needless to say, we were very excited. Upon receiving the MamaRoo Bassinet, my partner pulled it out of the box and had it put together in 5 mins. Assembly was incredibly easy and if you have small children, especially newborns, you know that time is of the essence. We set up the MamaRoo Bassinet beside the bed and connected it to our Bluetooth and used the app. All of this was incredibly easy. I have since disconnected the Bluetooth because I don't know how much EMF is given off. We immediately put the baby in and set the MamaRoo Bassinet on the car ride option and added one of the ambient sounds and baby went right to sleep. She isn't really a tough sleeper but I'd assume if she was, that this bassinet would be a life saver. All the functions are simple and very much with baby in mind. Out of all of the motions, the baby seemed to like the car fide the most and on the slowest setting. We also used the wave noise and that seemed to go over the best, also on the lowest setting. The quality of the MamaRoo Bassinet and overall features were very important to us which included the firmness and simplicity of the mattress, the ability to see through the mesh to see the baby, and the ability to adjust the height of the bassinet. Also, this bassinet doesn't take up a huge amount of space which was a huge plus for us! We like keeping things as minimal as possible considering we are a 6 person family. We have it on it's highest currently and you don't have to bend over hardly at all to lift or place baby in the bassinet. Other bassinets have really been hard to put baby down gently because you have to bend into them so much. The app has been very beneficial as you can control all the settings from a distance. When a mom can finally sit down, the app can be a lifesaver! I also find the storage under the bassinet beneficial for keeping blankets. It's a very convenient spot and holds just the right amount. We are extremely pleased with the MamaRoo Bassinet and would definitely recommend it to anyone expecting.

Hands down, best bassinet out there!
January 27, 2020
I cannot say enough good things about this bassinet! It has every possible feature you could ever need for both you and your new baby to get a good nights sleep. There are five different motion settings, five different speeds, vibration, and music with adjustable volume. Kangaroo, speed two with vibration is the sweet spot for my babe! It works like a charm every time and I am able to lay him down sleepy and he dozes off on his own. Most importantly the flat sleeping surface and mesh siding provide a safe sleeping space for my son and make it easy to see him as well, both of which are very important features allowing me one less thing to worry about. At first, to be honest, I was skeptical of the app that works with the bassinet thinking there wouldn't be any need for me to use it when I could easily change the settings on the bassinet itself, however, I was very wrong. Using the app allows me to change the settings easily from my phone without having to risk my son seeing me and waking him up. The app also has a timer to allow you to decide how long you want the motions, music, etc to last. For some babies the motion is only necessary to sooth to sleep while other times it might be more helpful to keep them asleep longer. The bassinet itself is also a great size, not too bulky, fits great into any space, and is easy to move as well. The storage basket at the bottom is a great way to store diapers, wipes, burp clothes, extra clothes, etc for those middle of then night feeds and changes without taking up even more space. Five and a half years ago my first baby was born and she was a terrible sleeper. The only time she ever slept decently was in her (original) MamaRoo infant seat. Had this MamaRoo sleep bassinet been on the market back then life would have been so much easier. You can imagine my excitement when I received this bassinet as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in time to use with my third baby. My husband said he hasn't seen me so excited in a long time. My only complaint is that this wasn't made years ago for my older two babes to sleep in. I would buy this bassinet in a heartbeat and would recommend it, hands down, to anyone I know having a baby!

Magical!
January 27, 2020
The mamaRoo sleep bassinet is pretty amazing. It's pretty much a combination of the cult favorite mamaRoo and a safe, flat bassinet. I felt like for once, I didn't have to choose between adhering to safe sleeping recommendations while still giving my baby a comfortable place to rest. I was a little unsure of this idea at first because I spent 17 years as a professional nanny and I've seen how hard it can be to move babies out of bassinets into flat, boring, cribs that make them feel isolated. It's hard. How much harder would it be to randomly tell your mini toddler, "I know you've slept in a mesmerizing contraption that has done all the work for you for just about a year, but now go sleep in a hard basic crib." Maybe technology wasn't helping us here. But then my 4 week old preemie started screaming one day. I fed him, changed him, held him... he was not happy. I figured I could at least try the mamaRoo bassinet and what happened next shocked me. I laid him in with the bassinet set on a basic motion at a slow speed. His cries turned to little fusses right before my eyes. He yawned a couple of times. He moved to get comfy and looked at me, so calm, as if to say, "Wow, Mom! This is so relaxing and it makes me very happy!" As a sleep deprived parent, I'm now obsessed with this thing. If I need to blow dry my hair or function as a real lady vs. a new mama, into the mamaRoo he goes. I'm honestly shocked what this little contraption does for him. My husband jokes that he needs one for himself. (And for that matter, I do, too!) Also, I love the mesh sides so I can see my baby, I love how the sheet is washable, and I loooove the storage bin underneath. I think this product may just revolutionize bedtime. I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The 4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet exceeded my expectations! It was very simple to assemble and is easy to use with the control panel or the app. The mesh sides are slightly difficult to see through because it is two layers with a gap in between, but I have no concerns about airflow to my daughter. The extra height risers are great for getting the bassinet up to the height of a higher bed or keeping the baby out of reach of older siblings. I put the bassinet in our living room and primarily use the bassinet for naps. The "car ride" motion is great for getting my daughter settled down to sleep and helps her stay asleep for naps. I really like the storage basket that attaches under the bassinet. It offers a great place to store extra sheets, blankets, burp cloths, and pacifiers, especially because we are using it outside the nursery. Overall, the clean design, compact size, thoughtful features, and ease of use make this a great addition to a new parent arsenal to make life with a new baby easier! Thank you to the Stellar Products Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

Sleek and Soothing Bassinet
January 26, 2020
The mamaRoo sleep bassinet is great successor to the original mamaRoo. My oldest daughter loved her mamaRoo and would constantly sleep in it when she was a baby so it was really great to see 4moms take the soothing qualities of the mamaRoo and design it into a safe sleeping space. My baby really loved the kangaroo setting paired with the vibration and white noise, it would instantly calm her and put her right to sleep which in turn, gave this mama some sleep. I did however notice that the vibration was a little noisy when paired with the motions. The design is very sleek and modern and was absolutely a breeze to set up and the storage space was absolutely wonderful! The mesh sides were great so I could see my baby in the middle of the night without having to get out of bed to check on her - not to mention being able to control everything from an app on my phone!! I didn't use the height adjustment feature, but I love the option in case I ever need to lower the bassinet. Overall I really love and recommend this product and was really excited to receive this product from the Stellar Panel and review it!

Love the motion options and the app!
January 26, 2020
I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I loved all the motion options, my little guys favorite is car ride. The noise options are great too. They helped keep him asleep with all the older sibling noise going on. I liked being able to start the motion and sound from my phone app. So convenient, and helped baby calm down quickly, even from a different room. The mesh sides made it easier to monitor him and see him clearly too. While not a miracle, newborns sleep is still a struggle, it was a huge help to have a safe place to put baby with motions and sound that would soothe him.

Great, Safe Place for a Newborn
January 26, 2020
We have tried the mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet for several weeks now, for our currently 7 week old daughter. We prefer sleeping in the same room as our newborn, so the bassinet was in the room with us. I will say it was super easy to put together, with instructions on the bassinet itself and not many pieces to put together. My favorite is probably the mesh sides, being able to see her sleeping from bed, and we could adjust the motion using our phones for an even easier interface. This was especially nice as a c-section mama where it was hard to get in and out of bed. It was easy to reach her from bed in the bassinet, although it made it kind of difficult to get out of bed with the bassinet blocking me, I would have to slide down to the end of the bed to get out (this would've been impossible the first week after my c-section). The mesh sides also have space between 2 layers, and I liked that because it makes it feel even safer if baby ends up sleeping with her mouth against the mesh side, there would already be a gap. This combined with the firm mattress makes this a wonderful bassinet to have your baby sleep close by to you, without being in your bed. This was very important to us as we wanted to follow safe sleep practices, but know how easy it is to forego when getting through those first sleepless weeks. The motions (tree swing worked best for our baby) have been great to help keep her asleep on average 1 hour longer than she was without the bassinet, but I truly believe this will improve in the next few weeks, as a newborn can't go long without eating so she would be up often anyways. Overall, I'd say that having this bassinet allowed our baby to sleep longer, which means we got to as well! I definitely woke up less in the middle of the night worried about my baby than I did with my first (when we coslept), so I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to cosleep but wants to follow safer sleep practices. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

A nap time made in heaven!
January 26, 2020
I was given the opportunity to test the MamaRoo sleep bassinet by the Stellar Product Testing Panel and this product is truly "stellar". I am a home daycare provider and mom of 3 and having quality sleep spaces is crucial to a good day in my house. Of all the bassinets I have ever tried, this one is definitely the front runner. I love that there are 5 different motions to choose from and that the speed of the motion is adjustable. My 4 week old loves the "car ride" motion at a level 3 to help lull her to sleep, especially during the day. I love the "kangaroo" setting on level 4 when I need to put her down in a safe space throughout the day. I love the mesh sides because I can see her at all times. I sleep so much better because the multiple motion settings allow me to soothe her back to sleep without having to get up and without picking her up. My 3 month old niece loves the "wave" setting on level 2 to sleep and "kangaroo" setting on a level 5 when awake. It's great that it is customizable as all babies have different preferences. The sound settings are also a lifesaver to help drown out the noise of multiple other toddlers. I also love that the height is adjustable and the storage basket underneath holds everything I need from extra sheets to diapers. One downside is that it is somewhat cumbersome to move from room to room as it's heavier than other sleep gear and doesn't have wheels. Another big drawback for me is that it has to be plugged in. I am unable to put it in the ideal location because I don't have an outlet near. 4Moms has an app that does come in handy sometimes but I honestly don't find that I need to use it very often. It is just as easy for me to walk over and change the settings as needed because our bedroom is right off our main living space. I don't keep my phone in the bedroom at night either so I don't use it. Overall this is the best bassinet I've ever used when it comes to soothing the baby and helping everyone sleep better.

We're in love with this bassinet!!!
January 25, 2020
I received this amazing MamaRoo Sleep Bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to test and review! I was super excited to give it a go and I was nowhere near disappointed!! Where do I start?! First of all, this smart bassinet is very cool! It's lovely to look at and I love all the motions, sounds and vibrations that are available to soothe our baby girl to sleep. The touch screen panel is a great feature as well! The claim that it will get her to sleep faster and have her stay asleep longer was absolutely true in our case. She would normally wake up at 6am like clockwork everyday but since using this bassinet she has been waking anywhere between 7am-9:30am!! She seems to really enjoy the car ride motion on its first setting. We also use the vibration feature for added soothing. The shh sound is my go to because that's something we do naturally and it calms her pretty quickly. The firm sleep surface and mesh sides definitely gave me peace of mind. I'm confident that she's in a safe environment that follows safe sleep guidelines when she's in it. The mesh is doubled so it isn't the easiest to see through but it's enough to be able to glance at her throughout the night in dim lighting. The ability to adjust the height was awesome! We have a low profile platform bed and I absolutely needed the bassinet to be in the the lowest setting so I could easily get her in and out while still in bed. It was very fast and easy to remove the extenders. It isn't as heavy as it looks! It has some weight but it's pretty easy to move around. I keep it next to me at night and in its own little corner of my room during the day. I also like that it plugs in from underneath the unit. The storage basket is extremely convenient and very simple to install. It's nice to not have to use my nightstand to store her essentials for the night! One of the coolest features is the app! I love that I can control the bassinet from my phone! I can be in the kitchen doing dishes and change the settings right from the sink while she's in the bedroom napping! The app is also very easy to navigate. One thing I would love to see 4moms work on is the noise level when the bassinet is in motion. It isn't super loud but it's more noticeable than I would have expected. It kind of like white noise but a noise I could do without, if that makes sense. It isn't a deal breaker though! My favorite part of this bassinet is that it gives hubby and I a little bit more sleep because that's so hard to come by when your raising 2 beautiful girls under 2 years old!! We're sold! I highly recommend it!!

Must Have Bassinet
January 25, 2020
The mamaRoo sleep bassinet is absolutely wonderful. The bassinet was very simple to assemble with easy to understand instructions. You can connect it to your phone easily and the app is not complicated to navigate. I love that you can control all of the motions with different speeds and sounds from your phone and from the touch panel on the bassinet. The touch panel softly lights up so it doesn't interfere with sleep. My baby likes the car ride and kangaroo motion they seem to keep him calm and soothed for a while. The sounds are ok on this bassinet, I was a bit disappointed with the fact that there was no music and it's all white noise. I have 5 kids so white noise is just way too annoying in my house. The bassinet gives you the option of two different heights. I love the taller height so your not bending over too far. I found this bassinet is very sturdy and well made, nothing seems cheap or flimsy. It has great mesh siding all the way around so no matter what angle you look at the baby from you can see into the bassinet. It also has a very strong flat mattress so there is no need to worry about your baby suffocating. Everything including the mesh siding is washable and that's a big plus! This bassinet is made to last and I wish I had it with all of my other children. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me and my baby this bassinet to try out!

Beautiful Bassinet
January 25, 2020
I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to try. The bassinet is very easy to assemble and get setup. It took me longer to open the box than it did to put it together. Once put together it looks very modern, so if you are worried about it fitting with your decor keep that in mind. The mattress is firm but thin, although my baby did t seem to mind. The storage basket holds diapers wipes and sleepers nicely. The first few days/nights was a trial to find the right motion and sound. We ended up sticking with our current sound machine since he was used to that, but I do like that it has the option built in. I wish there were more choices for sounds or that you could play other sounds through Bluetooth. My son's favorite motion is the rock a bye on level 3 or none at all. I liked everything about this bassinet except a couple of things. The first is that the Bluetooth drops off if you leave the room or after a couple mins. So when I'm in the living room and he's started to fuss I can't kick up the speed or turn vibration or sound on. I had to go in the room and reconnect. This was frustrating when we were trying to get him to sleep and he would wake up shortly after and we just wanted to try a different motion, add vibration, etc. The second thing that I dislike is it's a little awkward to move around. We put it together on one room and had to move to our bedroom. It was odd to move by myself so I needed someone to help. It's not terribly heavy, just a weird shape. These are 2 minor things, overall it's a great bassinet. Definitely a must if you have a baby that loves motion to help sleep.

Sleek bassinet with awesome extra features
January 25, 2020
Love this bassinet. Here's why: 1. It has mesh sides so I can literally see straight in and see my baby girl without getting up from bed at all. It also has adjustable leg heights so you can make sure it's the height you want/need. Love that. It also is a flat, hard (not uncomfortably hard) surface so I was never worried about her safety. 2. The vibrate function has been awesome for us. My little girl loves it and I really think it's helped her sleep. She sleeps so much better than my son did, doing 4-5 hour stretches at night and solid 1-1.5 hr naps 3. The motions are fun and helpful for nap time. I'm convinced it calms her and helps her before taking a nap. I never put it faster than the second speed but she's also still really young so maybe would help in the future. I didn't use the app much bc I'm always near when she's in it but it could be helpful if you change modes at night from bed. I received this product as a member of the stellar product testing panel
