Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Bassinet, Windmill

My husband and I definitely wanted our baby in our bedroom for at least the first six months. The trouble is our bedroom is quite small. Definitely not enough room for a pack and play and definitely not enough room for a crib. We have two big dogs that sleep in bed with us so having our baby also in bed with us was not an option. Plus everything you see here or are told about cosleeping is to have your baby in your room but not in your bed Plus everything you see here or are told about cosleeping is to have your baby in your room but not in your bed. this bassinet is perfect. It hardly takes any space but there’s definitely room for her to grow. The top of our mattress is about 22 inches from the ground. The best part about it is that when I’m laying on my side I am just a little taller than I level with my baby inside the bassinet. There is a low light feature the casts a warm glow inside the bassinet so if she gets fussy all you have to do is turn on that light and I can see through the mesh sides of the bassinet to make sure she’s OK. The white noise, music and vibration features are awesome although it requires three C batteries so they don’t last terribly long. I’m trying not to use the vibration feature too much to make her completely used to it and not fall asleep anywhere else but the nice thing about it is it has about a 30 minute timer. The colors are beautiful. The crib mattress is easy to clean and nice and firm but we also bought a few mattress covers so that when we need to we can just replace them. I feel very comfortable that she is very safe inside this bassinet. I am very happy with this purchase.

We love this bassinet! Pros: GREAT VALUE: You get a lot for your money with this bassinet. Sure, you could spend more for more features (SNOO, anyone?) but you'd have to spend a lot more. This is a great bargain option. I love how much you get for the price. GREAT FEATURES: We use the music, star projector and vibration constantly! You also get nature sounds, a bassinet light, and volume control. My husband and I refer to it as "snoozing the baby". We can often get another 30+ minutes of sleep when we need to by pushing the snooze button(s)! The box that has all the features is completely removable which comes in handy for travel. While the bassinet itself is not very portable, we took the box along and seeing the same familiar star projection and hearing the same music really helped our son sleep, even in an unfamiliar environment. SWAYING MOTION: We love the swaying motion! I can't count the number of times I was able to keep my son asleep just by rocking him a little in this thing. It is so frustrating to rock a baby into a sound sleep only to have them instantly wake up when you try to lay them down! Rocking the bassinet as you lay baby down really helps with the transition. The swaying motion is also so smooth and doesn't require much effort. I can literally rock this thing with my little toe, easily! BIG BUTTONS: Guys, I can operate all the functions on this bassinet with my toes, laying down, from my bed! Some of the key buttons have texture on them which makes it easy to find the buttons you want in the dark. MOBILE: My son loves the mobile! Cons: NOT PORTABLE: This isn't a bassinet you buy for its portability. I wouldn't consider moving this from room to room and I definitely wouldn't try traveling with this. It's a behemoth that stays in one place. FLIMSY STORAGE BASKET: The storage basket is a bit flimsy and is only good for a few lightweight things. I usually keep an extra pack or two of diapers and wipes there but I feel like even that seems to stretch out the mesh. It holds them just fine so it could just be me though. I would prefer to have an actual basket on the bottom over just a flimsy mesh shelf. Still though, glad that they thought to put at least some storage there: we definitely use it! REQUIRES SPECIAL SHEETS: The mattress isn't standard size so you have to buy special sheets. Fisher Price sells extra sheets so I purchased one extra on Amazon and the price wasn't too bad. You'll definitely want at least 2 (bassinet comes with one) for those inevitable baby messes that occur in the middle of the night. Upside of the unique size is that it is bigger than the standard bassinet which gives baby more room and could potentially allow baby to use it for a longer time before growing out of it.

BEYOND HAPPY THAT WE FOUND THIS BASSINET! The fact that it vibrates has been a blessing for getting our little man to sleep. He loves motions and it gives just enough when he's sleepy to help soothe him to sleep! I will never buy a stationary bassinet again! Pros: 1. Vibration and soft (manual) swaying motion helps to put fussy babies to sleep! 2. There is a white noise setting on the bassinet along with a few other sounds and a lullaby. 3. Big enough to fit a dock-a-tot or snuggle me in perfectly! 4. It holds baby safely up to 40 pounds if you need a slightly more long term solution for your baby. 5. bottom mesh rack is perfect for holding extra blankets, diapers, etc. 6. Easy to move and doesn't seem to take up a ton of space 7. Super easy to assemble. 8. Breathable mesh sides so no need to worry about baby rolling into the sides while sleeping. Cons: 1. I find that my baby sleeps best in the dark and even just having the unit on for the vibration, it is too bright in a dark room. I have to place a blanket over the control unit because i find it to be too bright. 2. It does shut off after 30 mins. Baby does not seem to have an issue with this but i do wonder if he would sleep longer/ more soundly is the vibration was constant. 3. Battery operated (batteries not included) so make sure to have extra batteries around in case it dies and your baby really needs the vibration at night! 4. The mobile hangs so low that if you are trying to sneak in a sleepy baby, it's almost impossible for the mobile not to touch their head when placing them inside. 5. Bottom is very very hard which is good, but crib mattress is much softer.

I gave this 4 stars only because my baby isn’t here yet so I’m not quite sure how well this will work out for her BUT I have to say this was so easy to put together. Literally 10 mins, everything snaps together, beautiful looking, looks like great quality. The vibration isn’t a strong vibration. The night light seems perfect, projection of stars on the ceiling is so cute...the nature sounds to choose from and lullabies are great. I think it said they only stay on for 30 mins...I would want to be able to set a timer but this is a great bassinet. Very happy with my purchase!

Mi bebé dormía muy bien en el Moisés , nomás que solo duro al rededor de 6 meses ya que se movía mucho, fácil de armar

Buen producto, cumple con lo que dice, solo falta que la vibracion sea un poco mas fuerte. Buenos materiales
