For my first baby, we had the halo swivel bassinet. Due to reflux and other issues, it was not the right choice for us. With my second baby, we really wanted to try to help the best sleeping opportunity as early as possible. We looked at the snoo for a long time, but in the end could not justify the massive price tag. When I found this bassinet, I was a little cautious due to it being so new on the market. Now that I've used for about 2 weeks, I am cautiously happy with it.

Some initial findings:
- the timer for motion maxes out at 4 hours. This is really not an issue. We tend to only use it in 10 to 15 minute increments.
- there are multiple motions but they all seem very similar.
- the motions slowest motion seems a bit fast and when it starts it's a little jolting.
- when it is on, it's actually a bit loud. The saving grace is that it sounds like white noise. So, kind of loud but ok to slee through bc it's calming.
-it's started to have a slight creeping noise when in motion; I can't tell if this was always there or if I just noticed

Overall, I'm happy with it so far. If you're looking at the snoo but cannot justify price, this might be a good option.

Update at 9 weeks:

- no more creeping noise
- we determined the sound is from the internal fan to keep motor cool. We are used to the sound now and don't consider it a problem
- our daughter sleeps well every night!
- we like the shooshing sound

Very happy with this purchase!

The motor stays on sometimes after turning it off. It would also be helpful if the lights turned off because they shine right in the baby's face. Otherwise loved it.

This was a game changer!!! My newborn would wake up every time I put her down so I was getting zero sleep. We tried everything"¦.and our last resort was the MamaRoo. I honestly wish it would've been my first thought because my LO hasn't slept better!! She goes to sleep right after putting her down and stays asleep for hours. When she starts moving around and getting restless at night I use the "Shh" sound and it lulls her back to sleep.

The only con is the lights on the little dashboard stay lit but I just cover it with a towel at night, and the app is bright white and I wish it had an option for night view or something because it's very bright in a dark room when I open it to add time to the timer throughout the night. That's also just a minor con and something to note, but honestly as a new mom this saved my sanity, it's THAT good. I highly recommend it.

Like many new parents, my wife and I were looking for any edge when it came to the battle of sleep with our new born. This bassinet is certainly no magic bullet, but"¦ the different rocking motions certainly seemed to help. He's now 4 months old and for the last 3 weeks or so, he's now sleeping about 9 hours through the night. I'm sure the bassinet isn't 100% responsible for this, but when I hear him start to toss and turn at about 3am or so (because the bassinet turns off after 4 hours of continuous use) turning the motion back on puts him back to sleep pretty quickly. He sleeps pretty consistently now from about 10-11pm until 7-8am.

Like I said in the title, this thing isn't perfect though. The 4 hour timer is annoying. I'm sure this thing wasn't meant to be operated continuously but it keeps my little guy asleep so I run in constantly. Additionally, I'm actually on my 3rd bassinet"¦ the first 2 started making squeaking noises after about a month (maybe because I run it so consistently through the night?). The 4moms customer service is phenomenal though! They asked that I send a brief video and some photos to validate the problem and they shipped me an entirely new unit; it came about 3 days later. No hassle and super responsive!

Our little guy will probably out grown this in another month or 2 as he's getting pretty close to being able to roll and sit-up. Even though we'll have only used this for about 6 months I think the price is well worth those extra minutes and hours of sleep we've gotten because of it. I give it 4 stars because it's not perfect but"¦ I would absolutely buy it again!

I like it because it has different motions, white noise, it's stylish, doesn't take too much space but my newborn doesn't sleep in it for too long unfortunately. I gave it one star less because the material is easy to rip, as it happened to us while installing.
