Overall a great product
January 23, 2020
I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and have been using it with my newborn. So far, we've really enjoyed using it. It's super easy to put together which is a huge plus. It looks really sleek, and we really loved the storage basket that is located under the bassinet. It's great for overnight sleep or for naps because it's totally flat, but I think it's unique in that you can set the bassinet to move with several different motions/speeds, and it also plays sounds. We definitely found this soothing for our newborn. I guess my only concern is that I might create a situation where he would only sleep with the movement, and once he's outgrown the bassinet, we wouldn't have the same option with his crib. But it is a nice feature. There is also an app you can use to set the movement/sound via Bluetooth. We haven't used this feature that much yet, but I can see it would be a great option if you wanted to be able to start/change the movement without going into the room where the baby is sleeping (never wake a sleeping baby!!). Overall, we really like the product. I love the mesh sides so you can easily see your baby - that helps with peace of mind. One comment I have is that the footprint of the base is quite large - definitely larger than similar products. Something to consider if it was going to be used in a smaller bedroom.

Great bassinet with unique features!
January 23, 2020
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet. I was so excited to try it out because I was having such a hard time getting my little man to sleep well in other bassinets I tried. Here are a few wonderful features of this bassinet: -Ability to control settings from my phone, very high tech which is a big win for my husband and I. Have not experienced any app glitches. When I'd hear baby crying, I'd switch the setting of swing motion, speed and sound from my phone to see what works best for him. You eventually figure out babies preference on what soothes them after a couple days. In addition, it's nice that you can set a timer. -Height adjustable. This is crucial for petite women! -Sleek design, good quality and lightweight, but does not sacrifice in quality. Love the storage basket on the bottom. -Spacious bassinet so baby won't outgrow it too quickly. -Mattress is firm and flat with breathable mesh sides which provides comfort to any parent for following safe sleep guidelines. Waterproof mattress pad that's easy to clean. -Overall, my baby does sleep better (especially at night) after using this bassinet. I used to rock and sway my first son for over half an hour at times to get him to sleep. Because this bassinet mimics similar motions, there is much less carrying required by us which has been a life saver!

Amazing!!
January 23, 2020
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. I was skeptical at first when receiving this since my first born wasn't a huge fan of the mamaRoo, and my second born wasn't a huge fan of lying flat on his back in a bassinet. To my surprise, he's able to fall asleep in the mamaRoo sleep Bassinet swaddled or unswaddled (depending on his mood). For that alone, this product gets 5 stars! His favorite settings are car ride and rock a bye, and needs it on the 3 speed to really settle him if he gets agitated. I love the ability to play different sounds, but I haven't needed to use that feature yet since there's plenty of background noise in the room. The bassinet was incredibly easy and quick to set up. Once plugged in, I downloaded the app and connected it to the bassinet without any problems. The app is especially helpful when the hubby or I have to pick him up in a hurry if he's crying and needs to be fed and forget to press the power button on it. It's also helpful when friendly toddler hands press buttons on it (luckily, there's also a control lock feature on the bassinet to prevent this from happening). I love the design of this bassinet, with the mesh sides so I can keep an eye on my baby while he's sleeping. I don't worry so much while he's in here because the mesh sides allow for good airflow and he can breathe! While this didn't replace my baby's night time bed/sleep device, it easily could. It's definitely a game changer for sleep devices. I use this in the living room and put him in here to sleep around noise to hopefully get him used to all sorts of sounds, and I'm able to get things done, which is a major plus. I wasn't able to put him down in the living room before I had this. Love, love, love this bassinet! Though I'm rating this 5 stars, there are a couple minor things to be made aware: 1) there's no mobile. TINY detail, but it would have been nice if it came with one like the mamaRoo does; and 2) it makes a loud noise every time it comes back from whatever motion it's on. Not the biggest deal since I think it helps calm my baby down sometimes, but it can get annoying.

AMAZING
January 23, 2020
This bassinet is amazing and out of 8 kids I have used a lot of different ones. This os by far my favorite and I highly recommend. From the motions to using an app it is great. I received this from the Steller Product Testing Panel and I 10/10 would purchase. It has height adjustments on the legs which is great if you're taller than me lol. Im short so the normal height is perfect. Very easy to set up. I like how the cord is plugged underneath and has spots for the cord on the legs to keep from getting tangled and tripped over. The sounds are pretty good and much stronger and cleaner than others. It goes pretty loud but we didn't need it that high. My son loved the rain and at 1 or 2 level. He also loved the car ride motion but at its highest. All the motions are pretty good. The issue I had was sometimes the bassinet would make a noise and sometimes it was loud. My husband made a comment about it because he didn't know what it was. It didn't do that the first couple times we used it. Outside of that it has helped keeping little one calm and sleeping and therefore we are able to sleep. I like the app. It really helps if you are cooking, in the bathroom, busy with another child, etc so it is easy to use to calm little one. Also you gotta love the mesh sides so you can see and little one can see out. I really love this bassinet and highly recommend! You won't be disappointed!

A bassinet with some extra features
January 23, 2020
Overall this is a nice bassinet but it wasn't magical for our family. Our newborn baby was not soothed by the motions of the bassinet since it seemed our baby liked only a side to side motion rather than the up and down. The vibration was a nice feature though I would have liked there to be a higher setting. Our baby was soothed by the vibration at times. I did feel completely safe putting my baby in the bassinet with the firm sleeping surface which follows safe sleeping guidelines. With the mesh sides and adjustable height I was able to view my baby while lying in bed, which was very nice. The app was helpful to control the bassinet from another room but sometimes the bluetooth connection was lost. I'm unsure if that was due to my device or an issue with the bassinet. I often defaulted to using the app to control the bassinet rather than the interface on the bassinet itself. The bassinet interface was a bit touchy, having to hit the buttons just right to get them to engage. My husband and I noticed there seemed to be various mechanical sounds as the bassinet moved, as if some internal parts weren't aligning just right. That was a little concerning to me. I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. All opinions are my own.

A bassinet for better sleep
January 23, 2020
I love everything about this beautifully designed bassinet!!! This bassinet has helped my 2 month old and I get some much needed sleep. This mamaRoo sleep provides and awesome and safe sleep environment for my baby. It has a nice firm and flat surface as well as mesh sides for breathability and allows you to see your little ones sleeping soundly. I love all the 5 unique movement and speed options as well as the built in noise machine and vibration. It's also designed beautifully and blends in with the decor of my house. Another great feature is the ability to connect the bassinet to your phone using the 4moms app. Through the app you can change any of the setting as well as set a timer. We also love the adjustable height that is easy to adjust. It was very easy to assemble. I received the mamaRoo sleep bassinet through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Everyone gets {safe} sleep!
January 22, 2020
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this bassinet! It has been a lifesaver for me with my newborn. The first day we used this, which was the day my little one came home from the hospital, my husband said "I love this thing!" more than once and he is usually entirely indifferent to baby products as long as they get the job done. The multiple settings for movement are great, my little one seems to like the "car ride" one the best at night, but I like that there are other options to help soothe if the usual setting doesn't do the trick. I love that this incorporates the movement of more upright baby soothers into a bassinet that follows safe sleep guidelines, I feel completely comfortable having baby girl sleep for nights and naps in the bassinet without my mama heart worrying! I love the mesh sides as well to calm my mama worries, I can roll over and look through the side of the bassinet to check on her anytime. I get a little nervous with newborn safety when I'm sleeping sometimes so the ease of checking on the baby is a major plus for me. The app that goes with the bassinet is great for night time soothing so I can change the setting from my phone and set a timer to have the movement turn off after I fall asleep or just so I don't forget to turn it off during the day. Another plus of the app is being able to control the bassinet without drawing attention to the control panel--my toddler figured out how to turn on the movement so it's nice to have another option for control that also gives the option of putting the on-unit controls out of reach of older siblings. Love it all!

So easy to set up and use!
January 22, 2020
This sleep bassinet is so easy to set up! I love that it collapses, making it easy to store but that there is only the bassinet, pad, and legs (along with another piece that came in a separate box) to store when you aren't using it. The bassinet is also very easy to get connected to the app on your phone and get the settings going. It's quiet and so handy. I also like that it doesn't take as much room next to my bed. A great bassinet! I received this product to test from Stellar Product testing panel. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary product.

The Best In Motion Bassinet
January 22, 2020
Right out of the box the bassinet is very sleek, extremely modern looking and classy. It fits in with any nursery theme, or bedroom and looks so high tech while still having a simple design! It was very easy to assemble, my husband held the bassinet while I attached the legs. You can also adjust the height but I needed it to be taller as we have a higher bed and I wanted to be able to lift my head and see her. The legs snap in easily, and the product is ready to go once plugged in. I highly recommend registering your product with mamaroo first to get the date and serial number before attaching the underside storage basket as the lettering can be hard to see as it's small. The basket was quick and easy to assemble, then you just place the mattress in. I love that the mattress feels comfortable without being too soft or too firm. It's also wonderful that it's a flat sleeping surface that does not incline so that it's 100% safe for sleep! The cord is lengthy and gives a decent distance to be able to plug it in. I was thoroughly pleased with the length as I find I have a hard time making sure I have enough outlets with all the baby products. It was quick to register my item, pair it with Bluetooth and the app was ready to go as soon as this was finished. We played with all the functions and speeds before we placed our newborn in the bassinet to get a feel for how it moved. I'm thoroughly pleased at the speed and transition between different movements, it doesn't feel jerky or jarring at all. My infant really loves the car ride and wave motions. The bassinet also has different sounds, volumes, as well as vibration! My 2 month old absolutely loves this bassinet, she's always been a fan of car rides and white noise... so being able to control her motion, vibration and have her white noise is just my perfect recipe for sleep! She easily calms down and enjoys the soothing motion, and this helps free up my arms when I am laying my two year old down. I'm also thankful that the sides are mesh so I can see her easily and know there's good airflow. I think that it is awesome that it can be controlled by your phone because buttons are very attractive to my toddler, so I turn the control panel facing the wall and I can still easily control it. This bassinet truly is a miracle worker, as I have used it while babysitting my friends daughter who has colic. It immediately put her to sleep and she slept the longest stretch to date in this bassinet. My only complaint with this bassinet is that I've noticed when I turn it off, there is a humming like vibration sound for about two minutes. As a stay at home mom my sleep, and my children's sleep is so important. This product has made my nights and nap times nearly tear and hassle free for me and my family! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product for free to test and review. This has been a lifesaver for me!

Answer to prayer
January 22, 2020
When my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our third (3 kids 3 and under) we thought 'we're pros now, we can handle anything'. And then we had had her and realized how wrong we were. Our hardest baby yet, always needing to be held. I guess you would call it colic. So naturally when I heard that that Stellar Product Testing Panel was sending me a bassinet that rocks my baby to sleep I jumped for joy. As soon as I got the box I ripped it open eager to test it out. It was super easy to put together. First thing I noticed was that it was pretty heavy and a little bulky, which isn't a big deal if you don't intend to use it to travel with or anything like that. We live in an apartment and it fits perfectly in our master bedroom so it would probably fit well in any room size. It is very modern looking and aesthetically pleasing. It goes great with the neutral decor I have going on in our bedroom. I love that it has mesh siding on the bassinet so that I can see the baby even if I'm laying down and it makes me feel more at ease if she moves around and gets her face pushed up against the side. I don't have to worry if she's getting enough air flow. The legs have two height adjustments for different bed heights. The mattress inside the bassinet is nice and firm. I would definitely suggest getting extra sheets because the color of the sheets really shows baby spit up. I loved that the buttons are touch screen and light up so that you can see at night with out turning on any lights. The best part of the bassinet of course is the rocking motions that help ease baby. I love that there are different motions to choose from. After testing them all our baby seems to love the kangaroo and rock a bye best. If I put her in the bassinet with it off and she's sleeping and starts to get unsettled I can turn it on and it rocks her back to sleep. It has really changed things in our home. Being a mom of 3 I really loving having this bassinet as an extra set of hands to help rock her while doing other mom tasks. I must say I am also very impressed with the sound machine that comes on the bassinet. It is surprisingly loud. I didn't expect much from it but it is better than the sound machine we already had. And there are different sound to choose but we like the fan the best. There is also i vibration you can turn on but our baby doesn't seem to care either way about it. One of my favorite things of all is that the bassinet bluetooths to my phone! If I see (on the monitor) the baby rustling around and starting to wake I can adjust the motion however necessary to soothe her back to sleep with out going into the room to adjust it. It is amazing. I would totally suggest this bassinet to any mom. So thankful for more rest for our baby and for us! More physical rest and emotional rest knowing she's sleeping safely.

Best Sleep For Us All
January 22, 2020
For a few weeks now I've been using the mamaRoo sleep bassinet and I can't believe how much my life has changed. My two month old is sleeping better than she ever has and because of that I am also sleeping better. I had used a playard napper and bassinet with my first, but neither made me this happy. I love that my daughter has her own flat sleep space that is a perfect size for her. Along with being just the right size, the mamaRoo sleep bassinet's mesh sides give me the ability to see her without getting up. They provide a secure barrier and still allow her to breath even if she is right up against the edge. Because the bassinet is centered on the base even with it being right up against my bed the sides are not constricting. I'm much more comfortable because she is safe, but she is sleeping better because of the features. The variety of motions is amazing. I figured they would all be the same, but there is a very clear difference. Almost every night we do the lowest speed car ride motion and she goes right to sleep, however after our middle of the night feeding session she can be more fussy. I love that I can almost blindly select another motion and calm her down. I tend to use the control panel more when she is fussy and the app right after I lay her down. The app has come in handy for selecting the motion as well as the speed. On the control panel you can only advance the speed going past 5 to go back to 1, but with the app it is easy to select any setting. There is also a timer in the app which I don't use every night, but really do appreciate when I only want to run the bassinet to help lull her to sleep. At first I used the vibrate feature more, but found that running the vibration and motion can sometimes make it more noisy. Once I tried a few nights without, neither one of us really missed it. I will use it if she's having a particularly colicky night though and it really helps. This bassinet has made my life so much better. Both of us are getting better sleep and even my husband has noticed how much better our nights are going. I did receive this mamaRoo sleep bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for a review, but if I had known how much better our nights would go with it I would buy it in a heartbeat.

You need this bassinet! Seriously!!
January 22, 2020
I recieved a new Mamaroo Sleep through the Stellar Product Review Panel in exchange for a review. When I read the description for this brand new bassinet, I was super excited to try it out! Once it arrived, it was a cinch to put together! I didn't time it, but it definitely took less than 10 minutes for it to be unboxed and assembled. The Mamaroo Sleep has such a sleek look and doesn't scream "baby product" like some other bassinets out there. It actually looks nice with the decor in my house! It is height adjustable, which is great because my husband and I are tall people and our bed is pretty high off the ground. The Mamaroo Sleep has 5 unique motions, 5 speeds, 4 different sounds, a vibration function, a timer, AND it can all be controlled via an app! Seriously, it is amazing. My youngest babe just turned 2 months old and she loves this bassinet! She enjoys all of the motions and sounds, but she sleeps best with the combination of the "car ride" motion on speed 2 & the ocean waves sounds. The Mamaroo Sleep provides a firm, flat sleep surface that follows the AAP's guidelines for safe sleep. The mesh sides allow airflow and visibility; I can easily see my daughter from all sides of the bassinet! My favorite feature of the Mamaroo Sleep, for me, is that it can be controlled via the 4Moms app! My sweet babe can tell if I am too close when she's snoozing and she will often wake up if she smells milk or if the floor creaks. It is amazing that I can adjust the settings of the bassinet from a little farther away so she stays sleeping! If she sleeps better, I can sleep better knowing she is safe and comfortable in her Mamaroo Sleep. You are going to love this thing!!

Safe sleep without sacrificing beauty
January 22, 2020
I recently had my second child and seriously stressed about what my baby would sleep in when we brought her home from the hospital for the better part of my pregnancy. What I used for my first child was recalled after numerous infant deaths and that scared me and made me really examine every bassinet, cradle, etc for safe sleep protocols. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet; it has not only met safe sleep protocols, it has given me peace of mind, improved my sleep and my newborn's sleep and elevated our room's style. The mamaRoo sleep bassinet features five different rocking motions, and one vibrating feature, all of which can be increased in speed. It also includes four realistic sounds (no more electronic loop that drives you crazy). But my favorite feature is the built in timer, so I can set a motion and sound to help my baby fall asleep, or stay asleep, or a sound to help drown out normal noises. The motions of the mamaRoo are so much better than the traditional back and forth motions that most bouncer seats and cradles provide. When you're holding your baby, you're constantly changing your motion, direction and speed, and this bassinet allows you to mimic that change of speed and pattern of motion. Normal rocking is too monotonous for a fussy infant, so the ability to switch up the motions made soothing my baby easier. Sometimes when my baby is overly tired, the fast swing style and kangaroo motion really help to distract her and get her to calm down. Other times, when she is in between sleep cycles, or right after a night feeding, the vibrate feature and low setting white noise is all it takes to lull her back to sleep. And those are just two of the many combinations I use every day. It's so nice to have different rocking motions, different speeds and different sounds (with adjustable volume) to select from. This is so much more ingenious than the typical limited lullaby and rocking features in other bassinets. For my first child, I used a sleeper with an incline which was later recalled. I was completely unaware of how dangerous they were for infants. After the recall, I was horrified that I had used it for so long. When I became pregnant again, I was so stressed about trying to find something safe for my baby to sleep in before she moves into her own room and crib. Once I saw the construction of this bassinet, I had total confidence in its safety; it gives me peace of mind knowing that the mattress is completely flat and firm, and the mesh sides have no corners or places that could obstruct breathing. I was a little worried about my baby rolling into one of the sides and not being able to breathe, but once I received the bassinet and set it up, I could tell that there were no areas where her breathing would be obstructed. The mesh sides are doubled so it provides slight light filtering, but would not prevent air flow if a baby was pressed directly against it. The oval shape also prevents any weird spots that a baby could get wedged in, again - peace of mind. I love that the motions, even in the fastest speed, are never strong enough to physically move my baby. She feels the motions, but her little body is never rocked from being flat on her back. Another thing that is different (and so much better) about this bassinet is that when you don't have any motion setting turned on it is completely stable: no wobble like basically every other rocking style bassinet. I liked the option of using the app, especially the timer function. The app's timer function really made me feel confident in being able to go back to sleep after a night feeding without worrying that a set motion would end up waking my baby up after initially coaxing her to sleep. I do wish that there was also a timer function on the control panel. The bassinet as a whole is so sleek and modern looking that it elevated the whole room, which is really nice when you're sharing your bedroom with your infant. The legs are splayed in a nod to midcentury modern styling, and the finish of the base and legs is eggshell so it doesn't show fingerprints or dust, and the color is the lightest grey color imaginable - gorgeous. Even though it's not a safety feature, I really love the accessory basket. It clips onto the legs and has a channel for tucking the electrical cord out of the way - such a smart design. The legs are adjustable; there is a small removable section to make the bassinet lower, but even though I'm only 5'2", I liked the higher setup. The mamaRoo sleep bassinet has helped me and my baby through the first two months of wild sleep patterns. This bassinet is gorgeous, but more importantly, it has features that help my baby fall asleep and stay asleep safely, which helps me sleep.

Dream Come True
January 22, 2020
The mamaRoo sleep bassinet is a parents dream come true. The price is so affordable for the value this bassinet provides. My 2 month old son loves the tree swing motion best and it helps get him to sleep for naps and bedtime. He's now sleeping 5-6 hours at a time at night which has helped this whole sleep deprived family feel normal again! I love that I can just open the app on my phone to turn on music or switch motions/speed when I'm not in the room or I'm in bed. I feel relief as a mom because I can also see my son through the mesh sides at night. The firm mattress has a washable cover that is so helpful for spit up or diaper leaks. The only downside is the base is a little large for our small shared bedroom space. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

Great bassinet with several motions!
January 22, 2020
Great bassinet with several different motions! The 4moms - mamaRoo sleep bassinet is very easy to setup and within minutes was ready to use! It had several motion to choose from! My baby's favorite motions are the car ride and the wave motion on the first sped. It was very important to me that the bassinet had a flat, firm sleeping surface and the mesh siding was an even bigger bonus for airflow and visibility to see my baby. With these features it was easy to follow the safe sleep guidelines and helped me to sleep way better knowing he was safe! I loved that this bassinet had an app to control the motions, speed and the white noise. The only complaint that I had was sometimes when using the app it could not find the bassinet so I would have to unplug the bassinet and plug it back in for the app to find it. Overall, this is a great, safe bassinet that soothed my little guy when napping and at night! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this bassinet to test and review!

My new favorite baby gadget!
January 22, 2020
This bassinet is a parents dream. After getting the bassinet put together (which took all of 10 minutes), my baby slept long enough for me to take an interruption free shower. I feel safe letting my baby sleep in it through the night, the mesh sides let me peek in without getting up and the easy to use app allows me to change speeds or movement types. My favorite setting is "car ride". It's smooth and consistent enough to lull my baby to sleep in no time. One of the biggest pros in the self dimming buttons. After you make your selection the lighted buttons dim so you are still able to sleep in a dark room. I will say the bassinet motor is a little louder than I expected but I actually enjoy the low vibration noise now that I've gotten used to it. Over all I would highly recommend this to any new parent hoping to catch some much needed z's. I only wish I'd had this bed with my other children. Thankful for the Stellar Product testing panel for letting me try this bassinet!

The best new sleep device on the market!
January 22, 2020
This is a total game changer. The bassinet itself is great- very sturdy and a great height. My toddler can't reach the baby which was a big issue for me. The tech is amazing and so user friendly. The app only took me a few seconds to pair and it's so nice to set a timer and/or turn off everything remotely. But most importantly- My infant loves it! A few minutes on the kangaroo setting w/vibrate and she is out like a light! Knowing it's a totally safe sleep surface makes me sleep better too! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for proving me this bassinet.

Great Bassinet
January 22, 2020
We used the Mamaroo bassinet for the first few weeks of our newborn son's life. We primarily used the bassinet for naps in our bedroom. Our son loved the car ride motion and the fan noise both on the second level. Both options go faster and louder, but my son preferred the 2nd level and our son found it very comforting. We liked that the motion lasted all nap and that we could put it on a timer. I only wish the white noise could have been on a separate timer than the motion (they were both on the same timer). It was also important to us that our son had his own flat, solid surface bed to sleep in that we could keep near our bed. The Mamaroo did all of this! The mesh sides were also key to making us feel comfortable while he slept knowing that the sides were breathable. The app was also super easy to use so I didn't have to get up to use the controls. We would highly recommend the Mamaroo for those newborn stage. It should be noted that we received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Great modern bassinet!
January 22, 2020
The mamaRoo sleep bassinet ... I'm in love! First, out of the box it's very simple, easy to put together! My four year old and I did it in a matter of 15 minutes or so. Nothing too complicated â¤ï¸ I'm completely impressed with the sturdiness, size and height of this bassinet. The sleep area is roomy, firm, mesh sides keep it ventilated & make seeing baby that much easier. It's also taller then a traditional bassinet, which is nice... I had it set up next to a counter, the top rail of the bassinet is about even with the counter top. Now for the fun part! It has sooo many setting options!!! Speed, type of motions, sounds, vibrations, timer & a panel "lock" to keep super helpful siblings from resetting! There's a sturdy big basket under the sleep area that's great for blankets, diapers and ALL of the things! I do a lot of newborn foster care as well as having my own and I've found a speed/motion for every baby in every mood I've put in it. I have now successfully been able to lull my notorious clingy, poor sleeper into 4 hour sleep cycle over night. The APP is easy to setup, pair and navigate. Love I don't have to hover over almost asleep baby to adjust settings or timer! Yay for sleep! I really love this mamaRoo sleep bassinet and have already recommended it to friends. I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Love this product
January 22, 2020
I received the mamaRoo sleep bassinet as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As soon as I found out what was being sent to me, I was so excited. The information I found on the internet seemed like it would be an amazing addition to bedtime. I give the product a 4/5 stars all in all and I'm going to lay out every pro and con as to why I have the product the rating that I did. Pros: 1- aesthetic look of the bassinet. I absolutely dread the old school bassinets with the canopy on the top. This bassinet is very sleek and modern looking without looking like some crazy, robotic contraption. Looks scored a 5/5. 2- size and footprint in my room. My original bassinet I was using before receiving this one was quite large and barely fit on the side of my bed. When I first got the box for the mamaRoo sleep I thought there was no way that it would fit on the side of my bed and was quite disappointed. But to my surprise it fit better than my old one! 3- storage basket. My old bassinet had no place for storage so this was a nice little addition. Especially since online the website said this was an item that had to be bought separately so it was a nice surprise to get it. 4- baby was able to fall asleep in it rather than being put to sleep then be put to bed. The rocking motion also helped soothe him back to sleep in the middle of the night. 5- complete mesh siding. Most other bassinets have MOSTLY mesh siding but this is the first I've seen that was completely mesh all the way around and it was very nice to have that piece of mind. Especially because my baby is definitely a scooter and loves to be up against the sides. Cons- 1- the motion was sometimes a little loud in the middle of the night in a quiet house. Also, after running the motion for 20+ minutes, sometimes a grinding noise would start. This grinding noise startled baby awake quite a few times. It kind of sounded like when you pull out a wooden chair on wood or tile floors and it makes that horrible grinding noise. I figured it was two plastic pieces rubbing together. 2- the rain noise sounded a little choppy on this bassinet and that's usually baby's favorite white noise, but he ended up enjoying the ocean sound so it wasn't that big of a deal. 3- the storage basket was kind of in an awkward place, especially if pushed up next to your bed. 4- the way to turn the volume and speed up & down. On the control panel on the bassinet, to turn the volume down you have to go through all the different settings first. Ex: if you have the volume on two and want to turn it down to one, you have to go up to three then four then off and finally touch the button one more time to get it back on and at volume one. Same goes for the speeds of the motion. Much easier to navigate on the app though. In my personal opinion, the pros of the bassinet far out weigh the cons of the bassinet and it will be a product I continue using with this baby and most likely with babies I have in the future as well. The only thing I'm worried about is weaning him to a crib in the near future and him missing the motion feature.

Amazing Bassinet!!
January 22, 2020
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in return for an honest review. I received the 4moms Mamaroo Bassinet rather quickly. It can in 2 boxes - one for the bassinet and another for the storage basket that attaches underneath. No tools were needed to assemble the bassinet, which I love! The bassinet was very easy to put together and only took about 10 minutes. I love that the height is adjustable, I have it at its highest setting to make it easier for myself & my husband to place our son in. The brightest height also helps to keep my 2 year old from trying to climb in. I absolutely love all of the different movement settings that you can choose from, and so does my 1 month old son - his favorite is the Rock-a-Bye motion. I love that there is also a sound machine built in! The app that can be used along with the bassinet is great and makes it easier to change the settings without having move from where you are. I would highly recommend this item for all moms!

Hands down-this is the BEST bassinet!
January 22, 2020
I'm beyond thankful that the Stellar Product Testing Panel provided me with this bassinet! My 4 week old was barely sleeping in hour increments in my previous bassinet, and within a day of using the mamaRoo sleep bassinet, I was getting 3-4 hour stretches from him! The settings mimic life-like motions, and my favorite being the "car ride" on the 3rd speed. I love that it moves for 4 hours before turning itself off. It was very very easy to set up (I did it on my own within 10 minutes). The lower height option is the perfect height for my bed, I love the breathable mesh sides and the cover is easy to take off for washing. The 4 options of white noises are good, but I think they are too loud beyond the 1st volume setting. I personally didn't find that I needed to use the app as I only put my baby in the bassinet when I went to sleep next to him, but it was very easy to sync the bassinet to the app should I have needed it. I can't say enough positive things about the mamaRoo sleep and highly recommend this bassinet to anyone with a baby!!

Bomb!
January 22, 2020
As part of the Steller Parents Pannel I was able to test out the mamaroo bassinet. This thing was bomb! It was super easy to set up with mesh sides so you can see baby and not have to worry about air flow. Its height adjustable so it can stay in your kitchen or be next to the bed for easy reach. Being able to run the bassinet from the app was super cool because my kid thinks is really fun to cry as soon as I lay down so I could start the sound machine feature from bed. I absolutely love how this looks, it's so modern and clean, it's just very aesthetically pleasing! My 18 month old even learned to run the control panel to help keep the baby happy!

The bassinet or the future
January 22, 2020
I was extremely impressed with this bassinet as soon as we set it up. The neutral tones easily matched our bedroom decor. Then we turned the bassinet on and our mouths dropped! The bassinet was extremely easy to set up and we love how we can adjust there height. The motions really helped calm and soothe my newborn to sleep. My baby's favorite motion is car ride at the medium speed. I love that the bassinet had a firm sleeping surface and mesh sides for visibility and breathability. One of my favorite features is the app, when I'm pumping across the room I can speed up the motion or turn it off. I love using the timer so I can fall asleep and not need to wake up to turn off the bassinet. My favorite feature is the car ride motion and the app.This bassinet helped our whole family sleep better, I just wish we had this bassinet with my first child! I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Got much needed sleep
January 22, 2020
I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was not sure if this product would be as helpful as it's made to be. But turns out that my colicky baby and I needed this in order for us to get some good sleep! I like that this product follows a lot of AAP recommendations that were discussed by the pediatrician. The app was very convenient to change the setting so I didn't have to get out of my bed. The movements for most part were nice and smooth, and there were so many options that likely you will find the right one for your baby. The material for the bassinet is comfortable for baby's skin and the sides do not stretch and are safe in case baby's face turns near it. The basket provides would be helpful to those who kept items under the bassinet. The only improvement I would like the company to make is the elevate the edges of the bassinet net just for an extra peace of mind safety. I can see why I wouldn't let my baby sleep in it once she started to roll. Overall, this is a great new product for parent's sleep!
