This is a fabulous product, but arrived new smelling heavily of kerosene (it is used as a cleaning solvent in some countries). We had to wash the cover 6 times to remove the smell, but it was worth it because our baby wouldn't sleep anywhere else.

We are currently using this cosleeper for our newborn daughter. It is fantastic as it allows us to co-sleep fear free. I find the nightlight an additional bonus. Those first few days home I used it often. It's a "blue light" also so it doesn't wake everyone up when you turn it on. The only problem with the cosleeper is it's length and non-removable wedge at the bottom. My baby girl is five weeks old today and I'm exploring ways to creatively remove the wedge so that we can keep using it as she is now too long for it. In addition I will add that many people said that this must be used in a King Size bed. We do have a large bed but it does not take up too much space. We all sleep very comfortably. I can see it being used comfortably in a bed that is a bit smaller.

I got this so I could nap with my newborn in the bed - there are a lot of tabs and folds that I am not sure how to use, but my biggest complaint is the toxic smell it emits - like plastic. This can't be good for me or baby. I hope it airs out soon, before baby outgrows this sleeper. Otherwise, it's a sturdy design for the price and works well if you want to sleep next to your little one without fear.

I loved this little sleeper. We'd been using the bassinet in the bedroom and it just wasn't working for us. With both our sons (6 years apart) there was one point or another that I wanted to chuck the bassinet out the window. they just hated it. AMA (against mom's advice) I bought this little sleeper for the middle of our king-sized bed. It was absolutely perfect. It actually helped to form good habits in my son because after feeding him, I'd lay him right back down (in the middle of the night). So, when we finally did move him to his crib at 4 months, he was used to falling back to sleep on his own. With him so close, we'd rub his belly if he cried rather than picking him up. It was better for all of us. I never used the light, we slept with an indirect bathroom light on so we could see him. I'm not sure if it would've worked for us in a smaller bed but in a king size it was absolutely perfect.

This will only work until your baby spits up or has a leaky diaper.
The only part of this that can be washed is the mattress and mattress cover. The manufacturer claims that the cover is removable for washing, but only the top part is able to separate from the cover. The footrest does not separate from the cover at all. When I called, I was told the instructions that came with it were wrong, and they only recommend spot cleaning, which is not adequate for a spit up. They also told me to return it, but I cannot do that as it now smells like stale spit-up and cannot be cleaned.
Get something else that actually works with the messy reality of babies.
