We bought this for our 1 month old son, because each time we'd place him in his bassinet, he'd wake up. We tried everything to get him to stay asleep, and then someone recommended this, so we thought we'd give it a try, since we were desperate to sleep.PROSThe gliding motion is smooth, not jarring or jerky at all, like some reviewers have claimed.We replace the batteries (it takes 3-4...can't quite remember how many, D batteries) once a month. This thing is on from about 9 pm-9 am.The bassinet turns in 360', so you can turn the bassinet in any direction.The color scheme is pretty neutral, so it fits most nursery/bedroom decor.It's rather quiet but recently, we started hearing a low squeaking noise. It's not loud enough to bother our baby or us, since we have on a lot of white noise,but even if we just had a fan going, it's not too bad.The liner is soft and cozy. We thought it might be too warm--our son was born in the summer, but it was just fine. Now that it's winter, we don't worry about the fleece-y lining.Small footprint (small, doesn't take up too much space)Heavy base, secureAnd lastly, OUR BABY SLEEPS SOUNDLY IN IT!!!CONSWe don't like that it sits low to the ground. We wished it were taller, like a traditional bassinet, but we placed this bassinet next to our bed, and all I have to do is lean down from my side of the bed, if I want to check on him (which I do often).The activity bar is useless. It's kind of cute but we never used it.The songs are ok, but we never play themWished it were expandable to hold baby as he grows. We are panicking because we don't know what we'll do once our son outgrows the bassinet (hold ups to 25 pounds).FINAL RECOMMENDATIONDefinitely buy if your newborn won't stay asleep, or if s/he has trouble staying asleep.

Have you heard of the gnome mobile? Well this is the sleep mobile. We've used it for a couple months now, and our 2 1/2 old son is loving it still. He wouldn't sleep in a bassinet, and we needed sleep. This was the vehicle to sleep. It is noisy, and only has two speeds, but it works great. He won't sleep at night in a swing or other contraption, but this is excellent.It just glides and makes weird noises as it goes back and forth. That's all it does. The music isn't very useful over the top of the loud grinding noise it makes. We use it about 8 hours a night, and change the batteries every 3 weeks. Takes 4 D batteries. It's worth a decent night's sleep.

Ordered this model because my son loved the car seat and other reviews mentioned that this simulated car movement, but it didn't do much for him. I know every baby is different so it might work for yours, but it's so heavy and hard to move around the house that we returned it. He grew to like the vibrating bouncy chair and swing over time so that's what we've used. This device is just too big to store anywhere in our house and didn't offer any additional comfort. It is very well cushioned and could be a great place for baby to sleep, especially if you want to use it as bassinet in your room when you first bring baby home, but it didn't work for us.
