Graco Sweet2Sleep Bedside Bassinet/Crib keeping baby close to you with easy-access side rail, 11 height adjustments, 4 tilt positions and with carrybag, Oatmeal fashion

It looks great and seems sturdy, lots of height options! Only downside is the assembly difficulty - it required lots of strength. Therefore won’t be using it for traveling as I can’t imagine struggling like that every time!

We bought this after our son grew out of his newborn crib. It's been so handy being able to easily put him in his bed after putting him to sleep. He's 4months now.Not sure why there's so many reviews on here saying its hard to assemble. It's not just follow the instructions after a few times you'll get used to it. All you have to do is press in the buttons in the poles when you're taking them down. The actual bed clips into the stands. Then everything fits into the bag provided. We've taken it with us to Hotels and we take it to my parents when he stays over so we've had good practice taking it down. Once you get a rhythm you can disassemble it in less than 5 mins.

We are still yet to use it as baby hasn't arrived yet, but my overall thoughts of this is that is seems to be a great crib. I used to work for Babies R Us, so I have previously spent some time building/training/talking to customers about these bedside cribs (Next2Me, Snuz Pod when they first came out), so I felt that I could compare this Graco one to those.Great size – feels like you can get a good amount of time using it, but of course that will depend on your baby.Looks great – the colour is nice, simple, should go with most room decors (if that is important)The front area which moves up and down seems great – appears to be on a spring making it easy to go up and down, but that is all hidden under the mattress. It easily comes down, but you will need to pull it back up.It has an easy button on the front, which will bring the whole front down, rather than needing to unclip/release each side individually. Plus doesn't look like the fabric will get in the way of this going up and down.The mattress fits snug into the sleep area, it is on the firmer side, but with some cushioning on top, along with a mesh (presumably breathable).As a side note crib sheets are slightly too small for the mattress. You can get it on, but it wont go all the way around and as of yet, I cant see that Graco make their own sheets for it.The legs seem good and sturdy, with the lockable wheels so it can be held in place and the ends can fold in so you can push it right up to your bed if you don't have space underneath.I like the fact that you can adjust the height and put it on a tilt, this was an important feature for me. We have a dog so I like that I have the option for it to be higher if I want her to keep her nose out, but then it can be lower, so I feel like it cant be tipped over.There are buttons on both sides to adjust the height to 10 different levels and they are easy to use, if you cant reach both then you could just do one at a time.Both sides are made from mesh which looks strong, so you will be able to look through there to see the baby, plus having a dog, she will be able to look through there safely and not be leaning over the side.There are safety labels on the inside sleeping area, which doesn't really bother me, I would just make that the bottom end so the baby cant grab at them.Once built you might think the whole thing isn't very sturdy because there is some movements, but by the very nature of it, it will have movement. If this would bother you, then maybe a crib with fixed legs would be a better option. As this one is designed for height/tilt adjustment, it will require that movement. (this is all providing it has been built correctly and all pieces are functioning correctly)It was easy to build, there are picture instructions in the manual, it took us maybe 30-45 minutes to build it fully. I would say took a little longer because the pictures are on the smaller side, so had to really look at it to see what we had to do.It comes with a bag, so it could be taken down and used on the go, we haven't tried to take it back down again, so cant say whether this would be easy to use as an on the go option, but it isn't a small crib. Eventually we will be taking it down, using the bag to store it in and putting it in the attic.It also has the straps to secure it to the bed frame to use as a proper bedside crib. Again not something we have tried out as this isn't how we plan to use it.For the amount of time that these bedside cribs seem to be in use, there was for us, a consideration regarding the price. Some of the other branded cribs were a lot more expensive and then you have the unbranded ones, which were cheaper. I looked into the cheaper ones (as I didn't need to have a branded one), but I didn't see much that I was happy to buy. They either looked like they were of a lesser quality or the reviews weren't very promising. I didn't really have the money to spend on a really expensive one, considering the fact they might not even be in it for very long. But thankfully this one suddenly popped up and I was more than happy with it. Graco is a company that I am familiar with and I have always had a positive experience with them (through work). So far I would recommend this crib and hopefully the baby will like it too!

Difficult to assemble product, the instructions are not very clearly provided.In our case received a defective product, one of the locks on the crib that should latch on the stand was broken, making the whole system unsafe.Had ordered as priority shipping from amazon only to be disappointed with the product quality and now need to take the pain of all delays in return amd warranty service from the manufacturer

This product is amazing I wish I had brought one with my first boy they are good to take away travelling with you as all packs away and also can be used as bed at home, the cover comes off the mattress so can be washed properly, assembls easy and must be comfy because my boy loved been in it.

The media could not be loaded. This bed looks ok for the price, it was easy to assemble. We still waiting for baby to arrive :) but looks like this bed has all features I wanted from the bed :)

My baby is so comfy in this, she sleeps really well. I use the tilt as she has reflux. I love how close I can be to her. The size is perfect and attaches well to the bed. Very safe. Very good value for money.Abit fiddly putting together but worth it!

Not the easiest thing to assemble or dissemble, requires a bit of strength so not ideal if often travelling one place to another. Baby due next month so not yet tested but seems ok when put together.
