Love the app!
January 25, 2020
We received this product as a result of the Stellar parent panel. We were excited try out a bassinet that could assist in my husband and I getting more sleep! Overall, we were very impressed. Safety is our number one priority, so we were so happy with the flat and firm surface. As well as, the mesh sides so we could see through easily. The size was great because it fit perfectly right next to our bed. I was a little disappointed on the length of the bassinet. My son is only 13lbs but he is long and we won't be able to use it much longer. We liked most of the motions but some seemed repetitive. We LOVED that we could control everything from the app. We were able to calm him without having to go in the room to disturb him. This alone is worth any price!!!! Our sons favorite feature was the vibrate. He struggles with gas, so I feel like it helped settle his little tummy. I also loved that the sheet is easy to take off and through in the wash. I would recommend getting another sheet so that you have one while the other is in the wash. Overall, we feel like it is a great purchase. Sleep is such a premium when you have a newborn and this bassinet definitely helped us get more!

manaRoo sleep bassinet puts us to sleep
January 25, 2020
Loving this bassinet! And everyone who sees it is impressed. It looks futuristic and modern. It was very easy to set up - I did it by myself within minutes - no tools needed. The hardest part was opening the box it came in! It's also lightweight, so it was easy to carry up the stairs and move around when i'm vacuuming. I had one concern while setting it up - the height. My bed is very low profile and my precious bassinet was too tall for me to be comfortable. Luckily, the mamaRoo sleep bassinet is easy to adjust to make it shorter - simply remove a piece in the legs. It's the perfect height - the touchscreen is at bed level and I can easily see my daughter through the mesh. The features are amazing. There are so many options to make my daughter comfortable enough to sleep. With several motions (and speeds), vibration, and white noise it's easy to find a suitable combination. We started off with using the motion we use to rock her ourselves, the kangaroo. We slowly upped the speed - she likes it at level 3. And we added vibration which is so subtle and quiet. Sometimes we use the white noise - husband always chooses the ocean waves. At night I'll use the app to set the timer so I don't need to worry about turning the bassinet off. Our daughter is usually out within minutes. She really enjoys the car ride motion as well. The app makes it easy to control from the other side of the room while I'm cleaning as well - no need to climb over the mess I've made! The only negative that I have, which isn't a deal breaker, is that you can't push the side down to reach in like another brand bassinet. Since the height is lower, I can just reach up and in. The mesh is easy to see through, so I'm happy. As a first time parent, I'm guilty of watching her sleep to make sure she's breathing. A great relief is the flat surface and that even with motion my daughter doesn't roll around. This makes it easy for me to fall asleep instead of keeping myself up all night. Overall, I love this bassinet. I don't use the features every time I put my daughter in it, but with the flat surface, mesh sides, lightweight build, and perfect height it works like a charm for us. The features are the bonus to soothe a baby, which sometimes you just need when they won't stop wiggling around like a little gremlin that doesn't want to sleep! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

A second set of hands
January 25, 2020
Coming home from the hospital, the mamaRoo sleep bassinet was an extra set of hands welcoming our twins. The varying motions, speeds, vibrations, and white noise basically mimicked another human being that would rock one of our littles back to sleep when my husband or I were with them by ourselves. We used it less as a bassinet and more of an aid to help sooth one of our littles. The varying motions is a huge benefit and being able to increase or decrease speed allowed us to customize their level of soothing. It seemed as though both were a fan of the car ride and wave setting. I thought the white noise was plenty loud in a level one and can't imagine going any additional levels higher. Easy to put together, wish it was easier to move wi one person but it's quite bulky but lightweight. Also, the app was easy to use, set up, adjust, and made life easier. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

Love this bassinet!
January 25, 2020
This bassinet is genius. First off I really love and appreciate the simplistic look. It would work with any decor and doesn't have any tacky colors or patterns. It follows safe sleep guidelines with the mesh sides and firm sleep surface. The adjustable height is nice to allow for easy access to baby next to the bed and the storage basket really comes in handy as a place to store extra diapers, etc. The sound function is a favorite. We found it so nice to have it built in and alleviate the need for a separate sound machine. As for the motion functions, it was great to have many options. We especially liked the vibrate feature as it did seem to soothe the baby. The other motions were nice too, we utilized these more during naps and typically stuck to car ride. I think it certainly elongated our daughter's sleep stretches. We found this product especially fitting for our needs as our baby tends to be gassy and prefers to lay flat and kick her legs. This bassinet allows for this while also offering vibration and movement. It also gave me peace of mind to let her nap in it versus other bouncers or swings which are not safe sleep approved. The app is also nice as it gives you the ability to set a timer and control the motions. Very clever. This happens to be our third and last baby but I certainly wish we would have had this product for our first two! It has proven to be a huge help. If I could create a wish list I would like to have a fitted sheet to protect the mattress but other than that, its perfect! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

My Baby is Sleeping! (and so is her brother)
January 25, 2020
We opened the front door one day and was super excited to see that the Stellar Product Testing Panel had sent us the mamaRoo sleep bassinet! With a 2 week old baby and an 18 month old that were making it extra difficult for us to sleep at night we were very very excited to try it out! My husband put it together in less than 5 minutes and registering the bassinet to the app was super fast - amazing! We tested it out that same night and wow did she sleep! She slept way better than she did in her other bed and we actually had to make this her new bed! Everything about this made our life easier; she slept and only woke up twice to eat and the best part was that when I had to tend to her big brother (who's still breastfeeding) I could start the motion (rock-a-bye being her favorite) from my phone, from my bed without waking up her brother. I finally had a way to feed her brother and get her to fall asleep at the same time! The mattress is great for her, she's comfortable and the mesh sides makes it comfortable for us too, we definitely follow safe sleep guidelines with this bassinet and I love being able to see her from bed without having to get up. We already have the mamaRoo infant seat and use that when we have dinner etc but this is next level! We didn't even know we needed this in our life but it has definitely made it easier for us and more comfortable for our daughter. All of us (2 adults and 2 kids in the bedroom) are sleeping better because of it and we love everything about it!

A magical sleep machine that's ACTUALLY safe
January 24, 2020
I usually don't opt for a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to baby equipment, but sleep is something that I, like most of humanity, enjoy quite a bit, and am therefor willing to invest in. When I realized that the automated child-rocking device that we had used with our first child was no longer an option, I was terrified; so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'll start with the most important thing about the MamaRoo bassinet: It's SAFE sleep. Like, not just "sure-the-baby-will sleep-but-technically-you-have-to-supervise" sleep, it's SAFE-- your pediatrician will look at this flat surface and high breathable mesh surround and give you a pat on the back. It's just like a magical tiny crib that moves, so you can ACTUALLY LEAVE THE ROOM, maybe TAKE A SHOWER or SLEEP YOURSELF??? Yes, all of these things have occurred in my household as a result of this beautiful machine! And honestly, it is beautiful. We've been using it both in our bedroom and in our living room during the day, and it looks good anywhere you want to put it. Unlike most baby stuff, it's streamlined and neutral and not cutesy, which I absolutely love because it will last you YEARS and go with every nursery color and theme you could possibly think of: Woodland creatures! Outer space! Artisanal soft cheeses! Go nuts, folks. Not to mention, the mesh sides means it doesn't block light so it's GREAT for taking endless baby photos! Your instagram will totally love it! It's not just aesthetically well-designed, though-- MamaRoo included a lot of really SMART, thoughtful details in this thing. Like, I love that the app exists, and it works, and it's actually very handy to have but ALSO?!? They figured out HOW TO MAKE THE CORD LOOK GOOD!?! THAT is the kind of thing that blows my mind. My husband also loved that it took literally five minutes to set up, and that includes getting it out of the cardboard box. It's very easy to move, and it has an awesome basket-shelf-thing underneath it, which is essential if you're like me and always need more surface area for multiple water bottles and snacks and pump parts and burp cloths and whatever toy my 3yo just hid down there, etc. Despite having been in my house for a month, (did I mention the 3yo?) absolutely everything about this bassinet just looks and feels high quality. BUT! DOES IT MAKE THE BABY SLEEP? Short answer? Yes. Yes it does. Obviously there is nothing that will magically make a child sleep anytime you want them to, but if my kid was fed, clean, and within his normal sleep schedule, the motions and sounds of the bassinet did seem to help him get to sleep sooner, and with less, ahem, maternal intervention. When I set it, I usually opt for the "tree-swing" motion and "fan" sound, but occasionally my Extremely Helpful 3yo sets it, and he has found many successful combinations so I think it's pretty hard to go wrong.

We adore this bassinet!
January 24, 2020
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet. My daughter loves it. I lay her in it and she will just smile and coo while it gently bounces and rocks her to sleep. It's helpful when she's being fussy as well. I love that it has mesh sides so I can keep an eye on her while I'm lying in bed. It has definitely helped both of us sleep longer and better. Her favorite setting is probably the tree swing at medium speed. She loves the vibration and the ocean sounds. The mattress is firm and flat, exactly as it should be for safe sleeping. The bassinet has a touchscreen control panel but I found myself using the app a lot, probably more than the touch panel. The layout of the app was easier for me to navigate when setting the timers and motions and speed. Assembly was super simple, no tools were needed and, after unpacking, it was all done and ready to go in about 10 minutes. The mattress is water resistant and the bassinet sheet can be washed in your washing machine. I absolutely recommend this mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet.

New bassinet with premium features
January 24, 2020
The new 4moms mamaRoo sleep bassinet provides a safe sleep environment with premium features for my six-week-old son. A firm flat mattress with an attractive water resistant cover is included and the bassinet sides are a breathable mesh allowing me to see my son sleeping. It was easy and quick to assemble out of the box. The premium features include five different motions with five speeds meant to mimic a parent rocking or bouncing their infant to sleep, a vibration option that can be on at the same time as the selected motion, and white noise. These can all be operated from the touch screen on the bassinet, but also from the 4moms app! I found this feature to be my favorite part of the bassinet. The motion has a maximum run time of 4 hours, but you can set a timer from the app as well as start and stop the motion as necessary without having to get out of bed. I really appreciated being able to increase the speed from my phone when he would get fussy. There is also an accessory basket that can be purchased that attaches underneath the bassinet, which I found useful for holding diapers, clothes, and extra swaddles. While all of these features are great, my son did not seem to sleep any better (or worse) in the bassinet. I think that the motions and vibration, even at the highest speed, are a little too subtle for him and don't really seem to soothe him much. I also thought that the sound from the motion of the bassinet moving was a little loud. Overall, the bassinet provides the most important thing, a safe sleep environment, and the premium features are a bonus but were not super effective with my son. As a part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, I appreciate being provided with this new bassinet and the opportunity to test and review the product.

Great Swing Alternative
January 24, 2020
When I found out about the mamaRoo sleep, I was really fired up for this product. All my kids have enjoyed the mamaRoo, but it is not recommended to let infants sleep in them, which is a bummer because it generally put my kids right to sleep. The mamaRoo sleep provides a safe environment for your child to sleep and offers all the same(and more) features that makes the mamaRoo great. I felt a lot of comfort knowing could let my kids sleep for as long as the felt like sleeping in then mamaRoo sleep. My wife and I just had triplet girls and this was such a great product for two of my girls, one has no problem sleeping. The multiple rocking modes is great and being able to change speed and pattern via the app is awesome. The product itself looks really cool and the mesh sides makes checking in on your baby easy. The mesh sides really helps in the middle of the night when your half asleep. It would have been nice to incorporate a collapsible side to make getting a baby out of the mamaRoo sleep easier. It would have been especially helpful at night while your laying in bed and need to grab a baby. All in all this has been a great product and 4moms has delivered another hit. I received the mamaRoo sleep through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The' Best Bassinet on the Market!
January 24, 2020
Wow, I'm amazed! First, id like to say that I received the momaRoo Sleep Bassinet through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I am someone that loves new technology and I always do research on products before I buy them to make sure I am getting the best product to fit my needs. I personally believe that 4moms just about thought of everything when they designed this bassinet. From the sleek design, technology, and overall quality, this bassinet is by far the best I have used and seen on the market. Im sure your all wondering what the motion is like with your child in the bassinet. Well, I'm here to say that I felt safe with my child in the bassinet, even when the motion settings were on max speed. The base of the bassinet is super sturdy and the bassinet itself comes with a firm mattress. These two features are both extremely important to me for the safety of my child. However, this isn't the only feature, the mesh sides of the bassinet allow me to feel comfortable knowing that I can see my child and that she can breath incase she rolled into the side. Overall, my daughters two favorite motions are the car and wave motion. These two motions combined with the audio sounds, soothed her right to sleep. One of my personal favorites is the App feature that can be downloaded and used right on your mobile phone. I thought the app was phenomenal and well put together. It was user friendly and had a fast response time to the bassinet. I loved how I could be downstairs and be able to adjust the speed, motion, and sounds right from my phone without having to be right there to make the adjustments. This also prevented me from possibly waking her up. If I was to pick my favorite feature of this bassinet, it would definitely have to be the 5 motions with there combined sounds. You just cant get these features from other bassinets on the market. 4moms hit this one right out of the park!! I will definitely be telling all my friends and followers about the momaRoo Sleep Bassinet. I feel like it is a must for parents and will allow them to get some extra sleep too!

The Cadillac of Bassinets!
January 24, 2020
This is one amazing bassinet. I will be honest, I was a bit skeptical that I would actually be needing any of the bells and whistles this product had to offer. With my first daughter, I had a simple and very basic bassinet and she was perfectly content with it and slept well. However, now with my newborn daughter, she loves and prefers to be rocked to sleep. So this bassinet has been a saving grace. Having the variety of motion options is wonderful and is quite helpful so my baby does not grow tired of the same movement (her favorite motions are the wave and car ride). There are times when she starts fussing in the middle of the night and once we turn the bassinet on, she calms down within a few moments and goes back to a sound sleep for the rest of the night! I will also say that one of my most favorite features of this bassinet is having the ability to control this bassinet from my phone; it is a game changer! The app was super user friendly and it was quite simple to make modifications to motion speeds and setting the timer for how long the product would remain on. The design of this bassinet is sleek and modern. All safe sleeping guidelines as recommended by our pediatrician have been met with this product. Having the mesh sides allow me sleep at ease, being that I don't have to worry about my baby's face pressing up against it and fearing that she could suffocate. It also allowed me to be able to just sit up in my bed and peek at her through the mesh sides to make sure she was okay. I can't rave enough about this product. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the opportunity to try this 4mom Sleep bassinet. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I will be sad when my daughter outgrows this bassinet...I wish her crib would have all these motion options (I wish my bed could do the same things too).

Finally getting some sleep!
January 24, 2020
Thank you stellar product testing panel for sending me the mamaroo sleep bassinet to try out and review. As a new mom the hardest obstacle we have faced is getting our baby to sleep at night. The mamaroo sleep bassinet has given me back hours of sleep that I have been missing for quite some time prior to trying out this product. With 5 different motions plus a vibration setting and 4 different sounds to choose from, you are almost guaranteed to find a combination that will work for your baby. (My son prefers the following combo: car ride motion at 3rd speed level with fan sound feature at volume 2, and with vibration ON.) I personally appreciate the 4th sound which is the shushing sound that I often have to do during the day so it saves me the trouble and does it for me for naps and bedtimes. The vibration helps our baby relieve gas which often makes him very uncomfortable so he is able to drift back to sleep in between feedings. There is also a timer that can give you up to 4 hours of continuous motion. BUT HERE IS THE BEST PART........you can connect the bassinet to your cellphone through Bluetooth via an app! It has been a lifesaver when my 4 hour timer has run out and I need to reset it or when my baby just needs an adjustment to the motion or sound. I can do it all without having to get out of bed while still able to see my baby through the mesh siding of the bassinet. The mamaroo bassinet adheres to all infant safety guidelines and comes with a thin flat mattress pad that seems to be comfortable enough for our baby and I keep all diaper changing necessities in the attachable basket that goes under the bassinet (which I believe is sold separately). The only con that I have found is that it can be a bit bulky if you are super tight on space. Even so, I would personally use it anyway just from the benefits we have had from it.

Sleep Bassinet Success!
January 24, 2020
I'm a mom of three kiddos, ages 3, almost 2 and 1 month. It's very important to make sure that all of my children have quality, safe sleep, which in turn results in quality sleep for me and my husband. I was recently given the opportunity to review the new mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet by Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I opened the bassinet's box, I noticed that the instructions made it easy to assemble. That's a win in my book! No one wants complicated instructions. As I put the bassinet together, I observed several great safety features. There are bars that make up part of the bassinet's structure. Those bars snap snugly into place and keep the bassinet sturdy, creating a safe sleeping area for my baby. The whole unit is quality built, which makes me feel confident in the safety of the bassinet. A soft, yet firm, pad provides a comfortable laying space, that isn't overstuffed, for safety. The sides of the bassinet are made of a mesh material, which allows airflow, even if my child were to roll up against the side. My baby currently won't fall asleep on her own, but will continue to sleep, for 30 minutes or longer, if I place her in this bassinet. It has a great variety of movement types, speed, and sounds. Every baby isn't the same, so I feel that the variety helps everyone find settings they like. My baby preferred the lowest movement setting, the wave movement and water sounds on the lowest volume. I tried out the app and it worked like a charm! It was easy to connect to my phone and will come in handy if I'm in bed or in the restroom and need to restart the bassinet and can't reach it from where I am. I would have given this bassinet a 5 because I love it, but the one thing I'd want to see improvement on is the legs of the bassinet. I might just be being nit picky, but I noticed that the lower half of the legs come off very easily. Although I like being able to pick a height for the bassinet, I would prefer if the leg extensions were attached more securely. Overall, I'm very pleased with this bassinet and look forward to using it more with my baby!

January 24, 2020
I received this bassinet as a member of the stellar product testing panel and it is amazing. We were using a well reviewed and very popular bassinet prior to receiving to test and we have since sold that one because we are not going back! This bassinet was easy to assemble and is just the right size to fit next an adult bed but also hold baby for the first few months. It has great sound and motion options to help newborns sleep and stay sleeping. I loved that I could use both the bassinet itself and the app to control the motion, sounds, volume, etc. The timer was also a nice feature! My baby slept longer in this bassinet from day one and she continues to sleep great averaging about 9-10 hours at night (2.5 months old). The mattress and mesh siding gave me comfort knowing she was in a safe place and I could still see her when I wanted to check on her at night. I love this bassinet!

This bassinet is a game changer!
January 24, 2020
This bassinet is amazing! The different movement options for baby are so soothing, my 7 week old baby's went from sleeping 3 hours to sleeping 6-7 hours. The bassinet's height is adjustable and the sides are mesh making it easy to view baby from your bed. It's is definitely a safe sleep option that I felt very comfortable putting my newborn in to sleep. The design is so sleek and doesn't take up a ton of room, the storage basket is perfect for storing diapers and extra clothes for those late night changes.

Love this bassinet!
January 24, 2020
The mamaroo sleep bassinet is an outstanding new product to the market! I'm a mama to two littles under 3 and this bassinet allows me to get much needed sleep (or chores around the house completed) with a peace of mind. The sleep surface is the perfect size and the mesh sides allow you to see baby with just a glance. The motion, vibration and sound settings make it all the more soothing for baby (my little prefers the rockabye motion). I honestly didn't think I would use the remote capabilities when paired with my cellphone, but to my surprise it came in handy on many occasions! The bassinet is on the larger side (quite wide), so make sure you have the space for it! Now I don't want to brag or imply that the bassinet is the sole reason, but my 6 week old baby is sleeping 7hr stretches over night and that makes me a happy mama! Thank you, Stellar Product Testing Panel, for providing me with this bassinet!

Perfect for the rocking parent!
January 24, 2020
I couldn't believe it when my son fell asleep before the circadian rhythm. Whenever I rocked him and placed him down in his crib, his arms would raise and wake up immediately. It was so exhausting as a new mom. When I placed him in this, he continued to sleep and would finally give me some time to sleep, do the dishes and care for my other kids. This helped get rid of mom guilt so much. It took a little time to adjust and I made sure he was burped and changed.

Awesome sleep!
January 24, 2020
To be honest at first I wasn't convinced that the bassinet was anything special. However after a few days my baby started sleeping so well! I'm not sure if it was all due to this bassinet but I think it really helped. I love the motion and easy touchscreen. My only criticism is the start of the motion is fairly abrupt. It would be better if it eased into the motion better. I love that this bassinet incorporates a flat sleeping surface as well as motion. My favorite motion was the "rock a bye". The app was great but I didn't use it very much. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a bassinet for their new baby! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

Fantastic motion options but too large overall
January 24, 2020
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was given the mamaRoo sleep bassinet to try out on my baby son when he was five weeks old. We tried it out night and day for two weeks, and ultimately liked it best for daytime naps. It was super easy to assemble--though take care when snapping in the bars that expand and support the mesh bassinet top. After assembling, we were surprised how large it is, and for our situation it proved too large. I had hoped to have it bedside but it took up too much floor space and we used it on the other side of our bedroom. In terms of operating the functions (motion, sound) during the night, having the bassinet away from your bedside is not a problem, as you can download an app for the bassinet and connect your phone via Bluetooth to the bassinet to operate from a distance. And you can set a timer for the functions, which is probably the best feature of the app--and honestly, the only reason I think the app is necessary. For our situation, the bassinet's best feature is its fantastic motion options. There are five motions in all, my son's favorite seemingly the "kangaroo" motion, with a close second the "tree swing." And you can adjust the speed of the motion, so if your baby is particularly upset about going to bed, try and speed it up. The higher speed distracted him enough to calm him down. It also offers four sounds. We used these infrequently, as he doesn't need white noise to sleep. However, the rain and ocean-wave sounds are quite pleasant, and you can adjust the volume from very faint to super loud to drown out pretty much all other ambient noise. The bassinet also has a vibration feature, which was our absolute favorite function until it started making a really loud buzzing sound after about five days' use. Could just be a glitch with our particular model, or perhaps an issue with how we assembled, but super irritating nonetheless. Something to watch out for if you purchase this bassinet. The sides of the bassinet are made of mesh-a safety feature, though also great for visibility. During the day, I place my son in the bassinet for naps and while he's falling asleep or after he wakes he can see me through the mesh, which makes him coo. He also likes to touch/scratch the mesh texture. The mat inside the bassinet is very thin but dense enough to provide (surprisingly) enough cushion. It comes with an attractive charcoal-colored cover, too, which washes up easily. The bassinet also has a storage basket underneath, which is awesome for storing burp rags or diapers, if you do bedside diaper changes. Overall, I would recommend this bassinet for those looking for a sleep solution for fussy babies who respond well to swings or car drives and just need extra motion. I can't speak for how well the sounds work to help baby sleep--as my son sleeps fine in silence--but I would also recommend this product for the vibration feature, which soothes my son immediately. Beware the size of this product, though, and measure your space carefully before purchasing. Best for spacious rooms!

A good investment even for sleep training parents
January 24, 2020
My husband and I love this bassinet sent to us by the Stellar Review Program! It is extremely easy to assembly and the clean lines and sturdy design had me hooked from the first look. The removable, hanging storage basket is incredibly useful and I like to keep my nursing pillow stashed in there. The mesh sides give me extreme peace of mind since I've seen my babies cram their faces into the sides of bassinets time and time again. My little girl seemed super comfy on the firm mattress, and the motions and sounds were soothing to her. I wasn't sure how I would like having a bassinet that rocks her to sleep since I plan to sleep train when she's older and self-soothing is important in that process, but I don't feel like it has worked against us at all. The app makes it easy to use from another room and I can turn it off or set a timer so she doesn't grow used to constant motion to keep her asleep. I can also prop her up in it on the nursing pillow (during the day!) and it doubles as a kind of swing- win! My only cons: 1) I wish it were easier to adjust the leg height. As it is now you remove a section of the leg to make it shorter which limits the customization of height. And, if you want to move it from room to room (think from bed-side to couch-side) you're stuck with one height or another. 2) While it is lightweight, moving it isn't a dream since there are no wheels. I can't speak to how much it may or may not drag on carpet but it would scratch my laminate wood floors if I slid it. It is cumbersome to pick up by myself but can be done. But those are both non-issues if you aren't needing to move it frequently! The vibration function on the unit I was sent started sounding like it was rattling so I contacted customer service and they resolved the issue right away by sending me a new unit and requesting I send the rattling unit back for their engineers to test and troubleshoot. All in all I am so pleased with this product and it has made me excited to look into other products from the 4Moms brand!

WOW!!
January 24, 2020
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, myself and my little one were able to try out the mamaRoo sleep bassinet. I must say, this bassinet is marvelous! Upon receiving the product, I was amazed with the packaging. Additionally the assembly of the product was easy as well. Probably took me a total of 7 minutes or less, not exaggerating either! Moving in to the actual product itself, I don't even know where to begin! The height of the bassinet is perfect it our bed. It allows me to have easy access to my little one without having to bend over too much or having him too high to get him. The mesh sides allowed me to see my little one no matter where I was, not just having to look over top of it. The motions that the mamaRoo sleep bassinet offered were amazing, allowing my baby to soothe easily with the motions- his favorite being the tree swing. I also like the different speeds of the motions, allowong for a slow movement to a little faster pace. Additionally, the flat, firm surface allowed my little one to sleep soundly, and allowed me to be at ease when he was sleeping, knowing that he was safe. Lastly, the app features was an added bonus. It allows me to have easy access to the bassinet and had me make changes to it when necessary. All in all, this bassinet is wonderful! It allows me as a worrying mama to not have to worry about my babe when they're sleeping knowing that they are laying flat and has the breathable mesh sides-which is my favorite part!

Brilliant! Worked like a charm
January 24, 2020
This bassinet worked great to it only calm our infant, but also allow her to have longer sleep intervals. When we first would notice fussing in the night we could grab our phone turn on the soothing motions or use the vibration feature to get her back to sleep without having to get out of bed. We also loved the noise machine function. We found ourselves leaving it on for us to fall asleep to. It was nice to have the option to adjust the height as we were able find the right height for us to easily place and remove our daughter without strain. Overall just a really great product. Sleep is precious with a toddler and infant so the fact that this helped us get more is 2 thumbs up in my book. We were very thankful to Receive and test this product as part of the stellar product testing panel.

Exciting new bassinet!
January 24, 2020
I really love this bassinet. It has been such a fun new product for us to use with our daughter. I think it is really well made, and is unbelievably sleek looking. It has been by far the easiest baby product that we have put together. It requires no tools and took us five minutes, even with a very eager to help toddler running around! The bassinet motor is very quiet and smooth. The white noise options are such a nice addition, and I love that you can control the volume. It's also so nice that there are multiple speed settings for the bassinet. My baby loves to move, and I think she really enjoys being in it. I will say that it is a large footprint, so for us it works best to not he directly next to our bed. It is really sturdy, and I feel so comfortable having her in it. My daughter has been really happy to chill in it on the kangaroo setting while I clean up and get things done too! It's nice that it's kind of like having a bassinet and swing in one. The mesh is awesome for visibility, and it is a nice size so that she won't outgrow it too quickly. We worry so much so having the great airflow and visibility is one of the most important things we are looking for. My 12 week old has plenty of room too. This bassinet feels really well made. The phone app is nice because I frequently forget to turn it off, and can do so without moving. It's really nice to have an app where you can control it without moving! I think my favorite feature of this bassinet is having so many comfort options while still being safe for sleep! We were thrilled to receive this product to try through the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Helpful and soothing
January 24, 2020
We're loving our MamaRoo Sleep! My baby girl is getting the sleep she needs, thanks to her new bassinet! I love the 5 different motions and speeds. It's my favorite feature. My baby can be rocked to sleep similar to a car ride or a tree swing! My favorite sound is the shushing sound. It's thr sound I make while putting her to sleep. I don't like that it is a little loud while going into sleep mode or turning off. Also at time the motions are a little too fast, as that make her jump. Even at 1 sometimes it's a little too much for her. Also the app didn't work for me. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

Sleeping baby
January 24, 2020
As part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I received the MamaRoo Sleep Bassinet and I absolutely love it! Previously I was using a standard bassinet and my newborn wasn't sleeping for long stretches at night. Now that we use the mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet, my 6 week old will sleep for 4+ hour stretches at night allowing me to sleep! We found that the vibration setting was really soothing for her and calmed her right now. We would also combine it with the "tree swing" motion and occasionally the "fan" noise. After a late night feeding, I am able to set her in the bassinet awake, turn on her favorite settings and then set a timer from the mobile app so that the mamaRoo turns off after 25 minutes. That way I can fall asleep knowing that she is or will be sound asleep. I also love that I can be laying in bed and simply open my eyes to see her through the mesh sides. Life with the mamaRoo Sleep is so much better!

Love this bassinet!!
January 24, 2020
This bassinet was a life saver for our babies sleep, my only regret is not having it from the moment we brought him home. The built in white noise and vibration are great features and the motion options truly helped sooth him back to sleep after middle of the night wakings. The volume on the white noise is a bit high, we never put it past level 1. I appreciated the neutral color and design which fit into our bedroom decor as I'm not a fan of the the more brightly colored baby gear. I like the touch control panel but do wish the back light shut off a bit sooner as it's very bright in a completely dark room. Overall we love this product. It serves the basic purpose of a safe, bedside sleeper for baby with lots of bells and whistles! Definitely recommend! We did receive this product as part of the stellar product testing panel.

Great product, could use some tweaks
January 24, 2020
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet to try and review. The mamaRoo sleep Bassinet is a great product but I believe it could use a few adjustments that would make it even better. We have been using this in our bedroom with our newborn and found the motions to be a bit harsh and jarring for her age. Sometimes the movements would wake her up or keep her awake, rather than soothing her back to sleep. We found the car ride motion on the lowest setting or just the simple vibrate function to be our favorites. I also thought the sounds were too loud, even on the lowest setting. The unit itself is a little bulky and "table like" - which takes up quite a bit of space in our room. However, it is very sturdy and I don't fear the the bassinet will tip or fall during the night, which puts my mind at ease. I also wish the mattress was a touch softer, it seems quite uncomfortable to sleep on. What I really like about the bassinet is the ability to change the setting right from my phone (will come in handy as we move it further from our bed), the adjustable height, the wide opening, and mesh sides. It gives me such peace of mind that if our daughter were to roll over or turn her head, she would be safe and able to breathe. The mesh sides also allow me to see in the bassinet without disturbing her. Another feature I really like is the basket underneath - we used this to store diapers, wipes, extra swaddle blankets, and outfits (perfect for middle of the night changes) without being "in the way". I do like this bassinet and would recommend it, but think it could be improved with smoother motions and sounds.

More sleep. Yes please!
January 24, 2020
I received this product to review through the stellar product testing panel. My first baby did not sleep well and I spent a lot of time rocking him to sleep. I was looking for a product that would help me get a little more sleep with my second baby! First, there was minimal assembly to this product. It was super easy less than 5 minutes. The look is clean, white and sleek with push button controls and mesh that allows you to see into the bassinet. It comes with a firm mattress and fitted sheet. Perfect for safe sleep practices. This product has several different motions and speeds to choose from so there is sure to be at least one (probably more) that your baby will enjoy. The app was great to adjust settings from bed to try to soothe baby without getting up! This was my favorite part of the bassinet and it definitely helped me get more sleep.

We are all sleeping well!
January 24, 2020
A couple days after we got home from the hospital after having our little one, I got an email that we would be receiving the Mamaroo Sleep bassinet from Stellar Product Testing Panel to test and review. As a very sleep deprived mom of now 2, I could not wait for it to arrive, and it did not disappoint! I am absolutely amazed at how this bassinet just rocks my little one right to sleep, even when I lay him down wide-awake. We have found that the "wave" setting on the slowest speed is his kryptonite! This gets him right to sleep every time. I also love that the bassinet meets all the requirements for safe sleep and has see-through mesh sides so that I know my little one is safe and I can easily see him. After laying him down I like to use the app to set the timer for 30 minutes so that after he goes to sleep it will stop. The app is also nice for those times when he wakes up, I can turn on the bassinet again without getting out of bed. Total win! I also love how easily the waterproof sheet can be removed and thrown in the washer. The removable storage bin has come in so handy for keeping his blankets and swaddles close by. The only downside to this bassinet is that it makes a very faint sound while running. The first couple of nights I had to adjust to the sound, but after that I became accustomed to it and no longer bothers me. I want to give a huge thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet, and therefore, more sleep! @4moms_hq, #mamaRoosleep, #weespringparentpanel, #stellarreviews

Wish I had this with my first child!
January 24, 2020
The bassinet is situated right next to our bed and each night we use the fan sound along with the car motion setting to get our little guy to sleep. We get multiple hour stretches and only waking up to eat and for diaper changes before we set him back down in the bassinet to snooze for a few more hours. If there was something that I think could be improved with this product it would be the addition of the heartbeat sound that is standard on the mamaRoo infant seat. We are getting so much more sleep then we did with our first kiddo and I have to think it has a lot to do with this wonderful product. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet and the accompanying extra hours of sleep!

Best Bassinet Ever
January 24, 2020
I am in love with my mama roo bassinet! My baby has been sleeping in it since day one and it helps that he's taken to it so well. It gives my arms a break and him some soothing. Also, the app is pretty amazing. I love being able to start and stop the bassinet from my phone. His favorite settings are kangaroo and car ride at speed 4 and 5. Kangaroo is an amazing setting, it feels like when I was in labor and bouncing on the labor ball. I still do that to calm him and I can finally soothe him with physically exhausting myself. I love that I have a firm sleeping surface, the nice height, and mesh sides for visibility and airflow. The height is just right. I'm 5'7 and bending over is a pain after having a baby. With the tall height, it's easy for me to lift out the baby without straining my back. Not to mention, he's high enough to be away from his toddler sisters. I received this bassinet right on time from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It came the day I came home from the hospital.

Great Bassinet, Longer Sleep
January 24, 2020
We really like 4Moms to begin with. We've been using the Mamaroo, Breeze Play yard, and baby bathtub since our son was born, and the products are really high quality, so we were super excited to be able to test their new bassinet as part of the Stellar Product Testing panel. After about 2 weeks, I can say that overall we are really happy with it! A note: This is a "smart" bassinet with App control, but it's not a responsive product, meaning that it won't react to your baby's fussiness--that's your job. You can adjust the settings on the app, or on the bassinet itself. This is fine for us, but it's worth noting. Our Story: We originally hadn't planned on getting a bassinet at all, because so many of our friends told us that they had their children sleep in the bassinet attachment of a pack and play. It turns out E didn't love sleeping in it, and he's such an active sleeper that he ended up moving all around and waking himself up. During the day though, E would really love being in his Mamaroo! He'd nap happily in that, and we found ourselves wishing we could let him sleep in it (don't worry, we didn't). But when the chance to test the bassinet came along, we were thrilled! The bassinet has all the features of the mamaroo in terms of the motions, with added vibration and a safe sleep surface, which was really important to us. We also liked being able to see him sleeping because of the adjustable height and mesh sides. So here's the nitty gritty-- Pros: *He already liked the mamaroo, so the transition to the bassinet was easy and simple. *The app is really easy to use, and we were able to avoid some full wake-ups by using the app to adjust the speed and noise of the bassinet from bed. We always started with the lowest setting and adjusted up if he was getting fussy. Most of the time, we use the first 3 settings without escalating too much. The highest settings are pretty fast and loud, which honestly woke us up a little bit (even though he liked it). *He definitely slept longer and fell asleep faster with the motion. We particularly like the car ride and kangaroo, and have found the "SHHH" noise helpful for calming mild fussiness (for most nights, we use the rain noise on the lightest setting). *It's lightweight enough to move around without too much trouble. We've put the bassinet on both sides of our bed and in the living room for naps on occasion. Cons: *The vibration setting that you can use with the other motions is really unnoticeable, but somehow makes the bassinet louder? We ended up just never really using it, even though we were really excited about it. *The 4 hour time limit has been a bit annoying, though not a deal breaker. Sometimes when E is fussy, we want the bassinet to run basically all night, and you have to wake up to restart it. *On the few nights when E has been SUPER fussy, the bassinet didn't magically fix it. We didn't expect it to, but it's just good to make sure your expectations are reasonable. I think this works best for mild fussiness and calm, sleepy babies who normally need a little extra care for sleeping. Ultimately, it's hard to say if this is a good solution for babies who need a lot of extra sleep help. Our baby is a reasonably good sleeper (at 7 weeks, he sleeps 5-6 hours at a stretch), and can fall asleep on his own without props. This bassinet is an extra bonus for getting him to sleep quickly, and having him sleep longer and more calmly. For us, that makes it worth it absolutely, and we think it would be worth the price. And we are "brand loyalty" people--once we find a quality brand we like to stick with it, and 4Moms has been consistently great with everything we have!

Longer sleep stretches are ahead!
January 24, 2020
I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It actually came at the perfect time, as my 8 week old preferred to sleep in our bed versus the playard we initially started to use. We obviously wanted to follow safe sleep guidelines, but we also have a 2 year old and we needed sleep! This bassinet was the answer to get her out of our bed and enable us to follow those safe sleep guidelines. The bassinet is pretty easy to put together. I would recommend plugging in the power cord on the bottom of the bassinet prior to turning it over - makes it easier to see what you're doing. It took my daughter a couple of nights to really get used to it. There are so many options to choose from: 6 motions, 5 speeds, and 4 sounds. My daughter prefers the Rock-A-Bye motion on the first speed, with no sound. The sounds were a little too loud for me, even on the first setting, and the motion of the bassinet has its own sound that seemed to work perfectly to get her (and me!) to sleep. The pad of the bassinet is an oval, which makes finding sheets hard. You can spot clean the cover on the mat, but I think a sheet would be a good extra layer of protection in case of a spit up. I'm sure 4moms will come out with something, it just wasn't available at the time I tried the product. I also received the storage basket that goes under the bassinet. I would recommend purchasing that as well. It has come in handy to store extra diapers, wipes, and a spare outfit. I like the overall look of the bassinet. I have another brand that is bigger than this one, and the legs have a large footprint so we're constantly tripping over them. We don't have that issue with this bassinet. It's a pretty sleek, modern looking design. The mesh sides are easy to see through, so my daughter and I can see each other without any issue. The only small "complaint" I have is that I wish it had built in handles to make it easier if you need to move it. It's not a big deal, just a side note. There is also an accompanying app, which has been great. I can set my daughter in the bassinet, get into my own bed, and then start (or change) the motion from the app. You can set a timer from the app as well, and it will shut off in the specified amount of time, up to 4 hours. For us, 30 minutes is sufficient. I will say though, that after the 30 minutes is up, it does take a couple of minutes for the bassinet to completely shut down - so even though the motion has stopped, you will still hear the motor from it for like 2 minutes, which threw me off in the beginning. This was the first 4moms product I've ever used, and I was definitely pleasantly surprised, and so thankful to get some longer stretches of sleep at night!

Better sleep!
January 24, 2020
From the first use my son and I both had a better nights sleep! I slept better knowing my son was sleeping next to me in his own safe place while still room sharing. The mesh sides make it so easy for me to check on my son without needing to sit up and look over the sides of the bassinet. My son loves the soothing motions and sounds while I like that I can customize the exact motion and speed to suit his needs. The app makes changing motions and speeds even easier to select your settings and put them on a timer. All of the features have been thought out and executed very well, even the storage basket on the bottom which is very useful to store spare sheets and diapers. I get better sleep with this bassinet, not only because my son sleeps better in it but also because it's safe and meets all of the recommendations to reduce SIDS. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in return for my honest review.

The spaceship of bassinets
January 23, 2020
I was given this bassinet for free to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Before I received this bassinet to test, I used a bassinet from a different brand. I loved the mesh sides and firm pad on the old bassinet, for the safety they help provide. Though the sides were mesh on this one, the head and foot of the bassinet weren't. The old bassinet worked well for my first, and for the first few weeks after my second was born, but I was excited for the opportunity to try out the mamaRoo. When I received the mamaRoo bassinet, the first thing I looked for were the safety features, and it delivers. The sides are mesh all the way around and the sleeping pad is flat and firm to help prevent SIDS. Along with the safety features, the bassinet comes with the ability to have it rock and sway, which is very convenient for a fussy newborn. My son prefers the kangaroo and rock-a-bye motions on the lowest intensity. Anything higher than the lowest setting seems to startle him awake, so I either keep it slow or leave the motion off. Though the motions helped him doze off few a times, my son is still getting used to them. While the features on the mamaRoo bassinet are very cool, I think my son sleeps only slightly better in this than in our old bassinet. It was handy to have the app which can control the motion of the bassinet. I liked being able to turn it on without getting out of bed or leaning over. That being said, the app did seem to crash quite a bit and you have to be very close for the Bluetooth to connect. One of my favorite features is the storage room underneath (though I think the basket is an additional accessory). It has been really nice to be able to hoard diapers underneath for future use. There were 2 minor setbacks I did experience while using the bassinet. First, is that the bassinet comes with extensions that can be used to make it taller, and when I tried to put them on, it seemed they came off very easily. Once I got all four leg extensions on, it seemed more stable, but I couldn't bring myself to use them. The bouncer is tall enough without the extensions that I was able to live with it. Second, I noticed a high pitch whine whenever the bassinet is in motion. It didn't bug me too much, but it drove my wife insane. Overall I think it's a very good bassinet and I intend to keep using it for my son. I would definitely recommend it to any parent who thinks the motion would benefit their little one.

Safe-Sleep Environment With Motion & Sounds
January 23, 2020
We were given the 4moms mamaRoo sleep bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We were so happy our baby enjoyed his mamaRoo infant seat, but struggled with him falling asleep in it. It was frustrating to have to move him from his infant seat to a bassinet to sleep. Just like the mamaRoo infant seat, the MamaRoo sleep bassinet easily soothes our baby to sleep. We are thrilled to be able to utilize the same movements and sounds that lull him to sleep in the infant seat in the safe sleeping environment offered by the mamaRoo sleep bassinet. We set the bassinet to rock-a-bye, turn on the vibration, add in the noise of crashing waves and within minutes our little boy is sound asleep. We prefer to use the mamaRoo sleep bassinet downstairs in our house for day sleeping. The mesh sides offer visibility from across the room. The bassinet has some fan noise that lasts for 10-20 minutes after turning off the motion. For some, this likely wouldn't be a problem in the bedroom, but something to be aware of for those who prefer silence while sleeping. The timer is a convenient feature of the user-friendly 4moms app which helps with this situation. You can run the bassinet motions and sounds while the baby is falling asleep and have it turn off automatically after a set amount of time. The app gives you the ability to easily turn on, turn off or change settings on the bassinet from anywhere. One of our favorite features is that with this bassinet, you have the flexibility of using any swaddle, sleep sack or baby clothes. You have quick access to change your baby during those middle of the night spit-ups and explosion diapers. You can easily change the bassinet sheet and use any standard bassinet sheet of your choosing to match your style and decor. 4moms continually provides exceptional quality baby products. We are happy to be using their mamaRoo infant seat, breeze plus playard and new mamaRoo sleep bassinet in our home.

Versatile, Easy to Use and Functional Bassinet
January 23, 2020
I received the MamaRoo Sleep Bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel when my son was just two months old. This bassinet has so many awesome features and it is very easy to use. Hands down my favorite part is the mesh walls of the bassinet. It made seeing my little one easy from anywhere in the room. It also gave me peace of mind knowing that when he learns to roll the mesh wall won't block his airways at all. The shape and size of the bassinet is great for my little one. He is almost 3 months now and just over 12 lbs. He has plenty of room to grow too. I do wish the sleeping pad were a little thicker for comfort. It seems very thin. That is always one of my biggest frustrations with bassinets or pack-n-plays. The bed pads aren't comfortable at all. There are several motions and speeds to choose from. My son really liked the kangaroo and car ride motion. There are also white noise sounds and vibration options. I loved the fact that I could control the bassinet functions from an app. It meant that I never even had to go into the room to turn off anything. I could do it from my phone, or even set a timer for it to automatically shut off! I did notice that even when not turned on the bassinet had a low humming noise. Just barely loud enough to think that it was on, but not loud enough to bother us. I just unplugged it from the wall when we weren't using it in order to save power. One other feature that I love is the optional storage basket under the bassinet. I attached mine right away and I loved it! It's the perfect size to hold diapers, wipes, a few outfits, binky and so much more. I really liked that it was optional so it didnt have to hang there if too didnt want it to. I also liked that it was higher off the ground which made getting my vacuum underneath it soooo easy. There was also a clip to route the power chord through to keep everything tucked away nice and neatly! I love the fact that you have multiple height options. I did find this feature a little more daunting to use than some of the other options. To change the height you have to remove pieces if each leg. So if it was something you needed to adjust often it would get frustrating. But for a one time change or every now and then it's a nice feature to have.

A little too much machine
January 23, 2020
Our baby is four weeks old, and we're still trying to find the right combination of sleep aids - and it seems she's still unsure what she wants! This bassinet was a welcome variable to these experiments when we as parents have exhausted all our human variations of Dr. Karp's 5 S's. Our baby wasn't easily soothed by the bassinet, instead needing to be soothed almost to sleep before being put down, but the bassinet definitely keeps her peaceful for short naps. She likes best the car motion with the ocean sound, but the vibration mode is key. Adjustable leg lengths and a storage basket are helpful features, especially for a piece that is otherwise way too large for our small bedroom. What really disappoints about this product are its more mechanical aspects. We couldn't put our baby in without starting it in advance, or the sudden jolt of the motor would startle her (this is where the remote app control comes most in handy, enabling me to warm it up from another room or while nursing). The bassinet also has a constant high-pitched mechanical whine when running, and if it's been on for some time the motor can take up to five minutes to power down, even if the functions are all off. I was lucky enough to be able to test the Mamaroo Sleep Bassinet through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

They thought of everything!
January 23, 2020
I am so impressed by the mamaRoo sleep bassinet. It has amazing features that include type of motion, speed, sound and vibration. The car ride motion on low speed with the fan sound was our favorite combination! It really helped soothe our baby boy to sleep who suffers from gas. This bassinet helped him relax and sleep longer. I felt this product was safe for our child. The flat firm surface and the mesh sides really helped me feel comfortable as I was able to see him. The adjustable height was a fantastic feature as well. Being able to control the mamaRoo sleep bassinet from my phone was a fantastic idea. It saves me from getting up multiple times throughout the night. This bassinet is unlike anything I've seen, thank you for thinking of everything! I received this bassinet from the stellar product testing panel.

Like the well loved mamaRoo, now with safe sleep!
January 23, 2020
I'm so thrilled the Stellar Review Panel provided me with this bassinet to test. This bassinet is sturdy, safe and will last my baby until he's ready to transition to a crib. It's safe for up to 25 pounds or until baby can start to pull up. That's a much higher rating than other bassinets, but this one is a tank! The bottom is super sturdy with solid, thick legs. You do not need to worry about wobbling or bumping this one! I was so pumped to see the different movement types offered by the mamaRoo sleep. As moms can probably relate, my baby falls asleep in seconds in the car. My tired, tired heart was so happy to see a car ride setting! I had to force myself to try the rest of the settings for the purpose of this review, but as I expected, baby loved car ride the most. I also love love love that this has a built in white noise. I love sleeping with a white noise as much as baby does, and since he's bunking in for a few months it's great for everyone's sleep, and I worry less about making too much noise and waking him. The touchpad is simple and easy to use, but even easier is the app where you can turn on, off, change volume, sounds and motion. The app allows a time to be set for up to 4 hours, and once you reach those much needed nights where baby sleeps longer you can restart motion or noise in the app. Not only do you not need to worry about approaching and waking baby but the real benefit is you don't need to get out of bed to do it The Stellar Review Panel also provided an optional storage basket that attaches to the legs. It's perfect for storing diapers, sheets, extra clothes or whatever you need overnight. This bassinet isn't light or easy to move so you'll want whatever you need to be right there...there's no taking this one room to room. The mamaRoo Sleep's mesh sides make it easy to take a peek at baby from across the room without having to disrupt baby or parents too much, and help create a safer sleep environment. I feel better knowing there's always airflow in the sleep area and baby is more comfortable, too. Having a 4moms safe sleep environment with the benefits of the mamaRoo that has saved the time and sanity of so many moms is hugely beneficial. I seriously didn't know how much I wanted or needed something like this until trying it - and I would recommend this to anyone. I'm not sure if 4moms is planning on making replacement mattresses (to increase longevity of the unit) or sheets (in different designs or to save on emergency laundry loads) available for purchase, but I would happily snatch them up if they become available! Last. I admit to panicking a little when the box came and it was clear assembly was required, but clipping on the legs and snapping the mesh sides into place took less than 5 minutes. It was super simple and can be done quickly. You can open the box and have baby sleeping less than 15 minutes later!

Baby Sleep Game Changer

If you love the mamaRoo Infant Seat, then this is the bassinet for you. I am a first time mom. When we first brought our baby home, we used a bassinet that had a vibration function, but no soothing motion. We were lucky if our baby slept 2 hours at a time, the vibration alone did nothing to soothe our baby. After a few days, we switched to the mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet (which I was given to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel). The mamaRoo bassinet was a lifesaver. Its soothing features include vibration, motion (similar to the motion on the mamRoo Infant Seat), and sounds. The motion is by far the best feature. With the mamaRoo bassinet, our baby started sleeping 4+ hours a night!!!! The height on the mamaRoo bassinet is adjustable, so I was able to adjust the height to be even with my mattress to see my baby at night from my bed. The mattress in the bassinet is firm and flat. The sides of the bassinet are mesh, providing good airflow and allowing me to see baby. Therefore, I know my baby is safe at night, sleeping comfortably on his back. I found that the tree swing motion at low speed combined with vibration was the most soothing to my baby. Recommend that you start the motion before putting baby in the bassinet, as the motion is a little jerky when it first starts. As for the sounds, they are soothing, but I wish they included the heartbeat sound that the mamaRoo infant seat has, as that is my baby's favorite. Also, I found that when the motion and vibration are used simultaneously, the motor makes a sporadic grinding noise. However, the noise does not bother baby, and it is not loud enough to wake me up. The noise is not a big deal but it is a little annoying. The functions for the bassinet are controlled via a touch panel. There is also an app, but I did not use the app due to connectivity issues. It took multiple attempts to set up the Bluetooth connection between the app on my phone and the bassinet. Once set up, the app frequently lost connection with the bassinet. I found it easier to just use the touch panel on the bassinet. I positioned the bassinet right next to the bed. At night if my baby starts to fuss, I can just reach over and adjust the motion and sound settings on the bassinet. Overall, this is a great bassinet. I am able to see my baby from the bed. I know he is safe with the mesh sides and firm flat mattress. The soothing motion, vibration, and sound helps him sleep for longer periods of time at night. The longer baby sleeps the longer I sleep! Highly recommend. Pros: Soothing motion, adjustable height, firm flat sleeping surface, mesh sides Cons: Motor makes grinding noise when motion and vibration are used simultaneously, connection issues with app I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Safe Sleep for Baby and Peace of Mind for Parents
January 23, 2020
Let me start by saying 4Moms has done it again! And by that I mean, making an awesome product that truly helps not only moms, but babies as well. When I received the mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was absolutely excited to try it out because of the experience I've had when using their other products. The first thing I noticed when bringing the box inside was that it wasn't heavy at all and upon opening the box, I could see why. All the pieces were very lightweight yet still such great quality and felt very sturdy! My first favorite feature about this was the assembly! Let's face it, we're busy parents and when we buy a baby product the last thing we want is a million pieces, tools required that you don't have on hand, and confusing instructions. Well with the mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet it was far from that and honestly probably the easiest baby product I've ever assembled, I didn't even need tools! It was just snapping the legs in and plugging it in, so the entire unboxing and setup took less than 10 minutes. Since it's easy to take apart you can take it apart and move it around the house with ease but it's honestly not too heavy where you can still just give it a lift and move it around. Another favorite feature about this bassinet is the height adjust option! I love this because I have a low bed frame and with the adjustment at the lowest option it's perfect arms reach space from the baby if you choose to put it bedside. Or if you're like me and have an over-curious toddler, the highest option was awesome to have too because it kept her out of reach from the toddler and kept her at a perfect height to pick her up while standing without having to bend over too much. To add on to the convenience, it even has an awesome Bluetooth feature that allows you to control the bassinet right from your phone through their app! This feature came in handy for all those times the baby got a bit fussy and I didn't want to step into the room and mess with the buttons. I go to school full time online so the convenience of being able to use the app and get the baby to calm down without having to step away from the office was a lifesaver. So a little more into the features of the bassinet itself... the fact that it is made so sleep safe is amazing. The pad itself inside the bassinet is thin and firm allowing the baby to still rest comfortable but safely. It has mesh sides all long the bassinet as well so you're able to see the baby and know that they're getting airflow. At night this was very handy because I was able to sleep in peace knowing that my baby was safe in there and it was following safe sleep guidelines. This ended up becoming her primary sleeping spot which was a space saver because we're in a one-bedroom apartment. As for the motions and sounds, they worked like a charm! They kept her calm, put her to sleep, and she enjoyed being there even when she wasn't asleep. She's always falling asleep in the car so when we're home and I put the bassinet on the car ride motion with the vibration on, she falls asleep just the same. The only complaint I have about this bassinet is that sometimes the bassinet would make sounds like the plastic vibrating against another piece of plastic during the motions when the vibration is on. It would end up sounding like a grinding noise, and while it didn't wake up the baby, I would have to turn off the vibration for a bit which would suck because she likes that feature. Anyways, back to the positive, whenever she fusses the white noise calms her down and the rock-a-bye motion soothes her. There are 5 different motions, 5 different speeds for the motions, 4 different sounds, and 2 different vibration modes, allowing tons of combinations to find the perfect match for your baby. The bassinet even has a timer that allows up to 4 hours of motion and then shuts off for you. So in summary, this bassinet is a parent must have and I am so thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

"Rest" assured you and your baby will love this!
January 23, 2020
I was given this mamaRoo sleep bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and let's just say that mommy (and baby) couldn't be happier with it! The first thing my husband and I liked was just how easy it was to assemble- no nails, screws, allen wrenches or labor required. We set it up in basically under a minute. I also really like that it came with a firm, flat sleeping surface and mesh sides on the basket, which provides ideal airflow to my son. Since you can also see through the mesh, my husband and I have far more peace of mind that he is safe and sound vs. our previous bassinet from a different brand that did not have that feature. This bassinet also has 5 motions with 5 speed options (even an option for vibrations) so we have been able to try the different options and find the one that my son likes the most, which is the car ride motion at the slowest speed - it puts him right to sleep, which lets mommy and daddy go right to sleep too! Of all the really great features, the absolute best thing about this bassinet is that you can control the motion, vibrations, sounds and even set a timer through the 4moms app. The app makes it so convenient to set everything up without having to get out of bed during the night. Before receiving this bassinet, we tried 2 other brands and my son wouldn't fall asleep in either of them. Luckily we received this one from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and life with baby has been much easier that I don't know what I would have done without it. So when it comes time to start thinking about another baby in the future, I will use this review to remind my husband just how easy things were thanks to this bassinet :)

Daughter loved it while awake
January 23, 2020
First, I love the look of the bassinet, looks simple but does a lot. Several different motions to choose from with different speeds and vibration. Think my daughter likes all the motions. Initially I couldnt get the sound to work but unplugged the plug from bassinet and plugged it back in and that fixed the problem. As far as helping my 2 month old sleep better, the motions tended to wake her up while sleeping. She prefers to sleep in it while not moving. But while awake, she loves the motions and will stay in there for a while so is really great to use during the day. I like using the app however the one day the app kept dropping but made it convenient to change the motions from afar. Loved the visibility of the bassinet and the size, not too big or small. All in all, really like the bassinet but use it more for my daughters enjoyment while awake. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

The Limo of all bassinets
January 23, 2020
A big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet. This is the limo of all bassinets. It glides, rocks and rolled my baby to sleep so well that I had to wake him for feedings. The size is the standard size for any bassinet. That being said I anticipate that my baby will probably outgrow it in 4-5 months. The bassinet is a little heavy and does not have wheels to transfer from one room (or side of the bed) to another. Set up was simple with easy to follow directions. Pairing the bassinet to my android device was also very simple without any glitches. The digital motion icons on the side panel are bright and therefore easy to read. I placed the bassinet next to my bed therefor, the side panel motion icons where more convenient for me to use manually rather than using the phone app to operate the bassinet. I liked that you can adjust the speed of each motion. This bassinet also has four different sound options however, the heart beat sound was not one of the four options which this should have been included if it is truly going to mimic movement and sounds while baby was in the womb. The bassinet mattress is a little thin however I think this is to facilitate a safer/firm sleeping surface. I also liked that the bassinet has mesh sides for easy visualization of the baby. The design is very simple, but sturdy; basic white without any color choices or design pattern. The additional storage basket is big and deep enough to hold plenty of essentials: diapers, wipes, swaddle blanket, burp cloths.The AC plug is a little short so unless you plan on placing this directly next to a wall with an outlet then you may need an extension cord.

Absolutley loved!
January 23, 2020
Absolutely love this bassinet. (Used with my month old son) I liked the mesh on the side because I could look at my son without having to get up every 5 minute. Which is also why I liked that I could change the speed&sound from the app. My sons favorite speed was the tree swing. Right when I put him down we would put the speed up high and once I knew he was fully asleep I would move it down. The one thing I did not like was how loud the sound was. I normally kept it at a 1 (out of 4) because if I moved it up any higher it was extremly too loud near my babies ear. I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Our mamaRoo sleep bassinet experience
January 23, 2020
I am a first-time mom, and I thoroughly research all of my products before buying or trying them. For our family, safety is first, so all the bassinets we use, needed to have a flat, firm surface and breathable materials. mamaRoo has all these characteristics and the plus of mesh sides. We got the mamaRoo sleep bassinet when my baby was four weeks old, after unsuccessfully trying two bassinets. I have to say that the first day I used the mamaRoo bassinet was the first time I was able to cook something "real" for dinner and not just fix a sandwich. My baby was significantly calmer on mamaRoo bassinet than in the other ones, even when awake. Movement features and sounds help soothe and stay sleep for longer, before having it I used my cellphone to play calming sounds such as rain and the famous "shh," using my cellphone was annoying and impractical but the only solution that I found partially useful at that point. I really like that the mamaRoo bassinet has 4 points of support instead of just one. I love that you can control the features (sounds, movements and duration) through an app! This has been useful at night, saving extra time by letting me stay in bed, and while in other room, avoiding baby realized I was near her. Downsides for me on this product are: I can not use the movement feature at the same time with baby monitor (our monitor tracks the movements on the crib and send us alerts) I do not like that the turn-on/off button is always "on" and that when you turn off the movements, there is a "cooling-like" sound for a few minutes. Love the way the mamaRoo sleep bassinet looks are my room and the storage basket has been extra helpful, I put there all the things I may need at night so that I can reach them easily. In a few words, mamaRoo sleep bassinet has more options that help your baby (and household) sleep better, it won't change the fact you have a baby at home, and she/he will awake at night, but makes a difference in the quality of sleeping that you can get! Worth every penny and will save you some money on soothing-sound machines or devices. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

Great bassinet with sleek design
January 23, 2020
The mamaroo bassinet looks gorgeous and is a great option for a newborn. It's wider than others on the market as well so baby can be in it longer. The option of motions and sounds was great to soothe baby to sleep, and the fact that the sides are breathable and the surface is firm as per guidelines helps to keep worries at bay. Being able to adjust the settings, sounds and motions through the app, without having to get out of bed or off the couch was also a fabulous feature. The few things I would add to make this absolutely perfect would be: 1. A retractable cover to be able to shield baby from light 2. An ocean waves sound option 3. Wheels for easier movement from room to room 4. A cuddle insert for younger/smaller babies and newborns Overall, it's a great product and worth the investment! Note- I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review and feedback.

Literally saved my back
January 23, 2020
As a mother, having enough rest is a necessity to take care of my newborn and an active toddler. I had to wear/use baby carrier as my infant didn't like sleeping on his back and would wake up after 20 minutes. It was exhausting running after my toddler and doing chores while wearing my 12 lb. infant. Enter the mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet. It was literally a lifesaver. PROS : My baby loves the motions, especially the Car Ride and Vibration, and he can finally sleep on his back for longer time. The bassinet's legs can be adjusted to desired height and I placed the bassinet beside the bed so I can easily reach for my baby when he's fussy without getting up. I'm assured because my baby is sleeping on a flat, firm surface and the mesh sides allow me to see him clearly. Because of those, I can sleep more peacefully and we both sleep longer time. Bonus is the basket that has ample space to store things under the bassinet. Also, the bassinet doesn't take up much space in our small bedroom. CONS : I wasn't able to pair the bassinet with my phone. I tried several times, to no avail. It would've enabled me to control the settings from my phone, otherwise the unit shuts off after 4 hours. When it does, I just turn it on again from my bedside and I didn't have to stand up. Truthfully, it wasn't a dealbreaker. I didn't care much for the sound and volume options. My baby prefers the music I play from my phone. That's why I still give it 5 stars. I received this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and this has not affected my review in anyway.
