I baught this bassinett because my mother insisted that the crib was too big for a newborn and they need a cozy place to sleep. (not really true) My son did not like it at all. First problem as someone said was the pad was very flimsy and there is no mattresse in the market that fits into this size bassinett. Second my sons arms kept hitting the sides of the bed because he did not like to be swaddled, i believe this would be a problem for all bassinets. It says up to 6 months on this product but i dont think a big baby would fit after three months. I returned this product and just moved the crib in my room.
