It does come with one included sheet and you can buy more from Halo. It has a unique mattress shape so standard sheets may not fit well. If you are planning to have more than one baby that may also make it worth it. Those first few months of motherhood are exhausting and sleep is worth it! I believe you would be able to resell this once you are done with it as well. This is pricey compared to some (both of my bassinets mentioned in my bassinet article were around $100).īut, when you are tired and breastfeeding, any tool to help you get as much rest as possible and keep your baby safe is worth it. Bassinets are a temporary item and most babies are out of them by five months. Check out this video to see how it works: That's usually about as long as you can go in the world of bassinets so that makes the Halo a pretty good buy in terms of longevity. My bassinet (which I loved) had a max weight of 15 pounds and both of my babies were moved out of it by 4 months. I imagine most babies will need to be moved out of this based on those skills before hitting the weight limit. You do not want to use any bassinet once your baby can pull up, roll over or push themselves up. My one year old who has always been in top 95% is now about 25 pounds to give you an idea how long that will last. It is recommended to be used up to 5 months or 20 pounds but they do state that a maximum weight of 30 pounds is acceptable. It is definitely bigger than my standard bassinet, and it has a sleep area almost as big as my Graco crib with stages (you can read about those here). The base requires 32" clearance from the wall. Compared to a regular bassinet this will actually save space. While the feet themselves do take up some space, they can be positioned under your bed or nightstand. The base is a long thin pedestal with four wide feet sticking out. It has a 30 minute timer and also a nursing timer if needed (I never needed a nursing timer). If you go for the premiere version then you will also get the music and sound machine which includes sounds, lullabies, a night light and vibration. Halo points out that this bassinet is great for mother's healing from C sections due to these features. When you are beyond exhausted anything that keeps you from waking fully is wonderful. This may not sound like that big of a deal but when you are breastfeeding it is huge! I loved my bassinet but I still needed to get up and get my baby and then place my baby back in. This is another great feature compared to many bassinets which are one standard height.īetween the swivel feature and the lowering side wall, you truly can grab your baby without getting out of bed. The bassinet is height adjustable from 22" to 34" so you should be able to match your bed height. It has a side wall that lowers and returns on its own making it very easy to grab your baby in the middle of the night for feedings. The sides are made out of mesh so it is breathable and you can always see your baby. This bassinet swivels 360° so you can bring your baby close to you, move it easily and even swing it over your bed. It stands out from your typical bassinet in that your baby can have its own space but really be right there next to you and accessible in a way that normal bassinets do not allow. This is why I wrote my post about the best bassinets for room sharing and what led me to discover the Halo Bassinest. Features that make this bassinet stand out from a typical bassinetīed sharing is wonderful when you are breastfeeding, but for some people it may not be an option or you may need something to use in addition to bed sharing.
