Wonderful! Love!

In reading other reviews I’m sadly surprised by what a lot of people have to say because this bassinet has been amazing for us! We purchased the Halo bassinet back in August for our daughter who was due in December. She arrived and HATED the Halo. Not super surprising as newborns like to be warm and . We gave it a few weeks. Then two months and we still weren’t sleeping. I got an this bassinet was coming out and was interested but didn’t want to buy something so expensive she could only use 6 months or so. A few more weeks passed with no sleep and I caved in a Friday night with a coupon in hand. I bought the bassinet. One week in we went from sleeping 1-2 hours max to getting two 5 hour stretches a night (with a breastfed baby). Is it something we may have to wean from in the future? Maybe. But if the alternative is no sleep for gosh knows how long, I’ll take the weaning down the line. My only complaints are the sheets should be sold in stores. It’s rough waiting on the sheets from the manufacturer with a reflux baby. It does make a few sounds when on but nothing that keeps me or my daughter awake. The vibration makes the most noise in my opinion but the bassinet itself vibrates as it moves so we don’t use the actual vibrate feature. However it’s a moving bassinet. Did you expect it to be absolutely silent? We also do not use the sound features often as we have a DOHM in our room. The DOHM also helps drown out any noises and doesn’t shut off in four hours as the bassinet does. Speaking of the 4 hour shut off is kind of dumb in my opinion but thankfully my daughter hasn’t been woken when it shuts off and maybe that will help with weaning down the road. Overall I’m so thrilled I bought this. I really hope it holds up since we’re only on week one, but so far we are in love and so happy. For reference this is my second kiddo so I’m not super new to the baby product world and was not sucked into a “cool new gadget” but was desperate for sleep. My daughter was 10 weeks when we bought it, 12 pounds, 24 inches. She fits great and has room to grow still. She sleeps in it swaddled and seems to love it too!

I can’t believe there is a price increase in the middle of a pandemic when people are hard up For cash - that’s just bad business

Great for newborns!

Ummsarah . 1 month ago

This was a great purchase for our newborn baby girl. We used it up until she was 5 months old. We LOVE the sound function. We have a small space, so we needed something compact. This was such a blessing for us as new parents, and a much more affordable option than the Snoo. Thanks, 4moms!

Easy assembly, have yet to use it with our baby.

baby2023 . 1 month ago

Only submitting a 4-star review because we haven't used it yet. The assembly was super easy and setting up the phone was very simple.

Amazing!

Rita . 1 month ago

This bassinet was a gift for my daughter and future grand baby. I was initially shocked by the price until I watched the video on all the things it could do. I had no idea! The bassinet is set up and ready for baby. My daughter loves it! I think it is amazing! My only complaint is that the mattress is thin and not what I expected for price. I did buy the cover and hope that will help. I still think this bassinet will help my grand baby sleep better and go back to sleep much easier which will ultimately allow the new parents to sleep better too.

High tech products made cheaply

CC Webb . 2 months ago

I wanted to love this bassinet because it’s provided me an effective way to get my colicky baby to sleep at night. But I have a few complaints. #1 the noise: after one month of minimal use (20-30 minutes nightly) it became incredibly loud. It makes popping noises and sounds like an over worked motor. My daughter is only 13 pounds and 2 months old. I’m also certain it’s going to stop working before my daughter reaches the max weight/age limit for it. #2 even when it’s shut off but plugged in it makes an obnoxious humming noise. #3 the item description leads you to believe that this bassinet follows the APA safe sleep guidelines, but they fail to tell you that it only meets those guidelines when it’s NOT in motion. This is not made clear in the description at all. I imagine this device is being widely misused because of this. I learned it wasn’t unsafe for sleep in motion the first week I had used it and quickly had to change how we used it. We now use motion for supervised sleep as our baby falls asleep at bedtime, then it is shut off for the rest of the night. Only positive thing I’ve experienced with this bassinet is the app and even then about 40% of the time I have to reconnect the bassinet manually to use the app and it’s annoying. Overall, I wish I would have better invested my money elsewhere. I won’t be able to resell the device in the condition it is in. Truthfully even if I could resell it, I wouldn’t because I am a firm believer in a safe sleep environment.

Don’t do it

Shan . 2 months ago

We wanted to like this bassinet so much. Unfortunately, it’s a highly overpriced piece of unnecessary equipment. Our daughter is 3 months old, and we’ve used this successfully maybe 10 times. We could have invested that money anywhere else, and it would’ve been better spent.

Makes noise squeaks!

Juliette . 2 months ago

This was so expensive. The moment we put in together and placed our newborn it squeaks !! For the price I would pass and not purchase. Really dissatisfied and I don’t even turn it on . He just sleeps in it .

can be improved

jaclyn . 3 months ago

I like the bassinet, including it’s features such as white noise and motions however it could be improved by making mattress a bit more comfortable it’s very thin and making a zipper part that you can unzip and be able to put your hand/and to baby without getting up.

Glitchy and gimmicky

Sdr0018 . 3 months ago

This is an imperfect product that has many glitches to still work out. Most importantly being that the movement feature will often get "confused" after its 4 hour time block and won't turn back on. Even after unplugging the outlet, the movement feature still won't work. A light blinks and it can't be turned on. Our bassinet has also made lots of noises that are difficult to fix because the control panel is not accessible without tools. Sometimes its a squeaky noise and other times it's a thump of some sort. Lastly, I wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends as a bassinet because of its practical use. Anytime my newborn cries at night, I have to get up and walk the 2 feet over to the bassinet because it cannot easily be put next to our bed. It's too tall and bulky. For all my future friends that get pregnant, I will recommend a bassinet that comes up to the bed and simply has a vibrate feature.

Awful

Tiredmom2123 . 3 months ago

Wanted to love this product however it continually shuts off and the sudden stop in movement would wake my baby.even with following the troubleshoot over and over it still shuts off. Save yourself the headache and just get a traditional bassinet. Don’t waste your money.

Do not buy it

It was great while it worked

3under2 . 3 months ago

Ours began short circuiting before my som was even 3 weeks old. The same thing happened with our swing when we lived in NY. 2/3 of my mamaroo products have done this and it is extremely disappointment, especially for much they cost. 1 dead swing. 1 dead bassinet. 1 swing still standing. 3 babies. 1.5 years. 2 failed mamaroo products.

Grinding Noise

Loni . 4 months ago

Within two months of use, our Mamaroo began making a grinding noise. The movement and music of the Mamaroo doesn’t seem to help our baby sleep, so we rarely use those functions… this makes it even more disappointing that it had a defect in less than 2 months. Unfortunately we had purchased it several months ago, before our baby was born so we were unable to return it.

Bassinet squeaks loudly when moving

Moo . 4 months ago

The worst thing about this is how loudly it squeaks when it’s moving. Then there’s the overly bright control panel that could wake your child up. Then there’s the really stupid 4 hour timer that turns the bassinet off so that you’ll never get a solid stretch over 4 hours. There’s a lot of improvements that can be made to this and I do not recommend it.

New mom, had no idea what to expect. It’s the greatest thing ever. The white noise, the movement. Put it on your registry!

Not claiming as expected

Pixal . 4 months ago

We bought this since baby was very clingy. The second we put her in there, she was startled by the movement even on the lowest level and cried even more. The product is very nicely made considering it’s price tag. We didn’t notice any loud noises coming from the motor. All movements are smooth but baby hated them.
