Suitable as a bassinet? Is it comfortable or safe enough?

We have a similar pack n play from Graco with the bassinet and yes I think it would work fine. I put my little one down for naps in it. I use a sleep positioner wedge to keep her in place in it and to make it cozier. Ours came with a diaper changing area too which is so handy!

That's what my husband and I have used this for all along. The mattress is the right kind for a newborn - you don't want something too cushy. I do have to agree with a previous commenter who said that you would need a lot of space next to your bed - you do need a fair amount. But so easy to set up!

This question requires a rather subjective response, but for my family I would certainly consider it comfortable. It is really quite solid to the touch which is nice. Unlike some plastic based models.

Absolutely! The bassinet portion detaches from the base and is curved on the bottom so when you set it on the floor you can rock your little one. When we used ours for overnight sleeping we did take the hood off, but it works fine with it on too. There are also cloth straps that tuck into zippers on the outsides of the bassinet so once you take baby out you can pick it up easily.

It is safe and comfortable for the baby to sleep on the bottom. I'm 5' tall and I just had a bit of a problem reaching the bottom...not much, but a little. My back is in pretty good shape so it didn't hurt my back, that will depend on you. Sorry I can't be more specific. Hope you love the pack n play!

I was also having a hard time deciding between the two. I think I have finally decided on the graco pack n play with bassinet. It is cheaper and can later be used as a playpen/crib when the baby is more than 15 lbs. Also, it folds up and is easy to use for travel, I am not sure the co-sleepers do that.

It appears to be safe. It was too large for the table that my daughter in law and my son are using for their baby. But it looked and felt soft and comfortable. the size was large, a good point because I expect my grandson to outgrow the ledge which is attached to his crib and which works as a changing table now. The sides were deep, something that is important for a baby who grows and becomes more mobile all of the time.

I bought it for my toddler but would have felt safe if he were an infant. I actually use a soft mattress pad because it isn't plush

My infant slept on it fine. It felt pretty firm but was slightly bigger than my bassinet so the edges got a little smashed when I shoved it into the frame of the bassinet.

I think that yes, as long as the baby is not too heavy ;)It is very easy to lift the bassinet.

Yes, its a very nice feature. I still use it like a bassinet for my 6 month old, he is still a little guy.

Mine came with a bassinet, but I haven't used it. I bought the pack n play to accommodate an 18 month old grandson who was visiting. It was great for that, and I know my daughter has used her pack n play for a crib, but keep in mind that it has only a pad - not a mattress. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Personally I would not. I believe it would be too high on the bassinet top and become a safety issue. It works much better after the bassinet has been removed and the baby has moved into the toddler portion size for the playard.

Yes it's perfect as co-sleeping next to you.. Love it just as good as good as bassinet if not better.

No, it is rectangular, like a cradle mattress. But it could probably be folded under at the corners and used on a bassinet mattress.

It is pretty comfortable, since you can position baby from laying flat to sit up and everything in between. It is also light weight and has a nice strap to help carrying the stroller. I traveled with one lay over and me and my husband were very pleased with the stroller. Baby was comfy, my baby is 6 mos.

I think so! Surely it's personal preference too. It is lower to the ground than the common bassinets that come with a stand. It does vibrate and can rock but doesn't rock on its own like a cradle swing would. Our baby is currently six months and often sits in there to play and occasionally naps in there. When he was a newborn it was the perfect place to lay him down. We liked the size as it was very portable around the house. The middle position ended up being very useful as he had reflux. Overall I think it's a great option as it costs less than most bassinets and we are still using it in the upright positions. I think so! Surely it's personal preference too.
