Review on 👶 BabyBond Baby Bassinet Bedside Crib: Portable Playard with Changing Table, Music Mobile & Sheet - Newborn to Toddler by Dominique Brown

I'm having my fourth baby and I've been looking for the perfect bassinet. I liked its versatility so I decided to give it a try. The assembly was a bit tedious in some places. For example, the changing table parts I found are very difficult to assemble. Finding out that they could be put back into the curved case made things a little easier. The phone appeared to be awkwardly bent, but that may have been intentional. It was very difficult for me to attach many clips to items such as a cellphone and page organizer. Also, the play hold functionality was just as agonizing as other play holds, and it took multiple attempts to properly lock all sides. There were some features that made the task easier, such as B. Side zippers that made it easy to attach the mattress to the bassinet carry strap. Because the cradle is a sling, it took a lot of effort to get it in a horizontal position. I have a feeling that the child's small movements or grasping etc. can throw them slightly off plane and result in the child being pinned to an edge. I like how the page goes up and down. It works well and you aren't left with any pieces just hanging around like the others. It has various height settings, but the lying surface itself is not adjustable. As it would be too short to work well with my fairly standard bed. In fact, I have a thin profiled box spring bed. Since the mattress is higher than the bassinet mattress, I believe this could lead to a potential suffocation issue if the bassinet is next to the mattress, so I don't think this will work safely as co-sleeping for most beds. Some other things I liked about this setup are that the changing pad is easy to hook on, take off and zip up on the side so you can hang it up and just snap it in place when you need it. I think this would be very helpful if you prefer not to change your baby in the crib or in your bed. It also appears to be very durable. My 3.5 and 1.5 year olds climbed into the cradle part and played and it didn't seem to bother at all. The anchor that keeps it next to the bed seems easy to use and doesn't require a strap around the mattress like others I've tried. Part of the playpen is longer and narrower than other playpens, which can be handy for certain spaces. Zipper doors on both sides are also good. The clip on the organizer is ideal for storing some essentials like nappies, tissues, nappy cream etc which will come in handy in the middle of the night. The clips on the parts can also be configured slightly differently depending on your needs. Some additional things that didn't impress me are that the wheels lock but still slide fairly freely on wood/hard floors. The whole thing also smelled very strongly of paint. I wish there was a pocket to put a bag that wouldn't fall out so easily. Overall this is a cool idea and will continue to work and be useful after the bassinet is installed, but I think it also missed a few important spots. I don't think I'll use it as an extra bed, but I can use the bassinet and dressing room in my living room during the day.
