Does this bassinet only rock with the use of batteries or can you manually rock it as well?

It does not rock with batteries...only manually. The batteries are for the music/light box.

It does not rock on its own. It has a vibrating function. But it only makes the rocker buzz which is supposed to be soothing. You need to manually rock it. Best if you have hard wood floor or a surface other than carpet to make it rock. I use my foot to keep it rocking

Is weird, when u attach the bassinet automatic snap and is ready to use to remove it you have to press both buttons n each side to release it but u cannot remove it without pressing that, so if you attach the bassinet and it doesnt stay there mean you can take it out without pressing nothing, is something wrong.

Can't say as I only ever had the one. I imagine the newer vibrating version just has that added feature to enchance it and whether or not that is useful depends on the baby - I had a vibrating bassinet and a vibrating bouncer but my infant didn't like either one - loved the angle of the rock n' play and didn't matter to him that it didn't vibrate. Aside from the portability and upright angle what I liked most about the snuggabunny version was the plush fabric - very snuggly.

It does rock when you fold in the feet, but you have to manually rock it. It does also vibrate. I would highly recomend this item, its light weight & collapasble for travel and its a good size so that both small babys or toddlers could use this (so if you have a new baby you should be able to use this for a while).

I asked my daughter, for whom I bought the bassinet and she said she doesn't know because she never had to replace the battery. She suggested you contact the manufacturer. Sorry we can't help you.

Mine did NOT take batteries. It comes with a great little external electric motor that inflates the bed very quickly, and also deflates it just as fast.

This rock n play doesn't take batteries. What we did was set our baby in it and rocked him with our foot or if we laid in bed, it would be the right height for us to rock him with our hands.

Yes. It worked for me and is easy to go back and forth to using it with or without the bassinet.

For the swinging motion, no batteries, it is only plug in. For the vibrate feature, you need batteries. You can still use the swing, without using the vibrate feature.

It's not battery operated, you can push it or the baby can pedal with their feet when they get older.

You need to push it to rock on but there is a button for gentle movement which makes you baby fell asleep very soon

You can spin it manually. The only thing that works on battery power is the drill.

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 vibrates. If on hard floor, it will sort of rock by itself with baby's movement.

Yes, we use this swing in our church nursery and seat cover can be taken off and washed. Yes, you can also swing manually with your hand. Worth every penny. Great swing!
