Great for when we first brought the baby home from the hospital. It was nice to have him right next to out bed. I liked being able to see through the slats to see the baby. Kept him in there until 4 months. Very sturdy.

We registered for this and received it as a present, not knowing whether or not we would really get use out of it. We had done a ton of research, and this was the best one we found out there. My husband put it together late one afternoon. The gliding function and the wheels worked perfectly. We had read the reviews re: the extra long mattress, and the thinness of it. So I picked up an extra mattress pad, layered them both, and realized that a king-size pillowcase fits it perfectly as a mattress cover. Our little one is now 3 months old, weighs just under 15lbs, and he is still in his cradle. He loves it. The bars are strong enough that you can hang a baby einstein mobile off the side, so that's helpful. And BBRUS sells bumpers for cradles that you can add for the sides, which we also love. I pull it up to my bed at night, and simply roll over and pick him up for feedings. It takes up less space than a playpen, is higher than a rocker bassinet, and long enough that we hope to get a couple of more months out of it. For the price, it is definitely the best investment we made.

We have been very happy with this cradle. Baby is now 3 months and he is doing great in this cradle. He sleeps in this in our room upstairs at night and he sleeps in his crib in the nursery downstairs during the day. Highly portable and went together pretty easy. Only negative is the mattress that comes with it is to thin, we just upgraded the mattress (highly recommend doing).

The cradle is made well however, what's the point..the mattress is CHEAP. So, in my opinion, it is useless.The company has a lot of nerve charging the price listed on it. It is not inexpensive.I tried to put the fitted sheet on it and it curled up because it was so thin. I called the manufacturer's customer service and they just said that's the mattress it comes with. I left a voicemail message with the manager and she never returned my call. I would not recommend this product.

I'm very happy with this cradle! During the day I roll it to the living room for naps and at night back to my room to sleep. I did buy another mattress pad for it since the one it comes with is thin. I assembled it myself at 9 months pregnant, just had trouble getting one screw in but eventually I managed to get it in.
The plywood sheet at the bottom is very thin and looks like it would not hold up. But my LO is now over 15lbs and it's holding up fine!

After using a friend's borrowed bassinet for 3 weeks (a very nice Eddie Bauer one), we got this one and we are a million times happier! Our son seems to like it better because he can see out of it and is not as enclosed as he was in the bassinet. It's easier for me because I can simply roll over and look at him without needing to get up out of the bed. I love this cradle!

I was able to view the cradle in store and liked it a lot. Assembly was easy for my hubby (he has done quite a few [...] peaces). The cradle is very sturdy and glides without moving baby to the sides of it. Lock is great. It is larger than a bassinet so be mindful of dimensions. Also, per manufacturers book weight limit is 15 lb, which is different from some other cradles. The bottom of it is sheet of plywood without much reinforcement so I would say 15 lb would be max. It works for us... but FYI for everyone else.Mattress pad is thin but thinking that baby is pretty little while in cradle it should do the job. I had no luck in finding any thicker cradle pads at the store. The same pad as included was being sold for approx.$29.

Looks great. Locks on the wheels are useful. Pad is rather tough.[...]

This glider cradle is just what I wanted for my dog who sits next to me on the computer. Quality construction thru & thru. Directions in English a plus! Definately worth the price.
