Many first time parents, as they are going through the checklist of equipment their new baby will need, often overlook the bassinet assuming that all they need is a crib. For some that will work, but for many, being able to have a smaller, more portable and snugglier alternative to a large crib can be a godsend. This beautifully designed bassinet and stand combo will allow you to keep baby close especially through those fitful first weeks of sleep (or non-sleep). If you want to have your baby nearby while in other parts of the home during those first months, this can move around with you. With sleep being one of the primary activities of babies, the ability to lie them down for naps nearby in this solid, comfortable, and well-ventilated bassinet will serve as a source of comfort for you and your baby. Another benefit is the ability to travel with this for stays with family or at hotels. Are your parents going to be watching the baby at their house? Instead of a big crib setup, this can make life easier for all. Our testers were enthusiastic about everything here except the price which felt a bit high, but given the exceptional quality for those who consider price not to be a consideration when it comes to giving their baby the very best, this will become one of your favorite and most-used purchases.
