Keep your child close! Great for bunk beds

Let me start by saying that now that it is assembled we really love this carrycot and are very happy with our purchase. But the montage wasn't very fun. How to Stress a Pregnant Woman at 38 Weeks: Ask Her to Pick This Up. I usually let my husband pack but I had a nest infestation and wanted it right away so I did it myself while he worked. I didn't find some of the instructions very clear. For example, I couldn't tell exactly where they wanted the side clips, and when I put them in I found they wouldn't fit in cloth bags (because the instructions don't say how important that is). It took me all my body weight (which is a lot now) to loosen them, and sticking a screwdriver in my side to loosen the little plastic hooks. That made me very angry. Another point of disappointment was that one of the 'legs' did not arrive with the white plastic base/plugs, it floated freely in the box and was very difficult to push into the metal. My husband helped me with the final steps and we were so pleasantly surprised at how well it slides under and sits on our bed without even setting it on the highest step. We have a Sleepnumber bed that sits a little higher. Even though I measured before ordering I was still worried that for some reason it wouldn't be big enough, but it definitely is and more so! I like that the baby is very close to us in the bed and my husband likes that he can also easily look around and see the baby. We actually had a bassinet in front of it (winks next to me) that we wanted to use (sits very low, doesn't climb on the bed, doesn't have a rocking function like this) but when we saw it we knew it was going to work a lot better for us! The wiggle function works great, although you have to unlock it from the back, which would be a little annoying when you're lying in bed and want to wiggle your baby in the middle. at night. It would be nice if this lock could somehow be accessed from the front. The bassinet is also very easy to lift and detach from the base using the side handles. So if you want to pick up your baby and move it to another room, it's very convenient! Finally, the mattress topper is very thin. and is easily removable (just velcro) so you can throw it in the wash with ease. However, I wish you could buy extra pads or have the bed sheet work with it (it doesn't) so you can change the bed sheet during the wash. Overall we are happy with it and I think it will come in handy for us as first time parents when we bring our newborn home!
