? About bassinet

[gk12]

Has anyone used a Halo Swivel Sleeper bassinet? I used a rock n play for Mirabelle when she was a newborn and slept in our room. It didn't work well bc I couldn't easily get her out due to my c section. I'm having another c-section and have an acquaintance selling a barely used Halo Swivel Sleeper. If you have recommendations for other bassinets/co-sleepers feel free to share them. Thanks in advance!

No advice on that one! Maybe ask your acquaintance how they liked it? Or maybe look it up on Amazon and read the reviews?

We just used the PnP next to our bed with both girls

I can tell you I would LOVE one if we have another. I loved having the cosleeper next to our bed and the ease of babies being level with my bed. However, I hated having to crawl down the bed to get out. The swivel feature seems amazing. The Baby Guy NYC loves it (his sister used it with her newest) and I usually value his opinion.

pretty much this. I love our cosleeper, but when I saw that swivel thing I was extremely tempted to get it even  though Greta was 5 months old when I first saw it.  If we have another I am totally buying it.

Thanks Laides! I watched the baby guy video review and I ended up buying it from my aquaintance. She only used it like 2x because she's been holding or wearing her baby in order to sleep (10 days old now). I don't have it put together with the base but I'm thinking I'm going to love it. I'll be sure to post a pic of LO in it and how I like it but that won't be for a two months.

Glad you grabbed it up - Lucky finding it used since it's so new!

If you end up not needing it again after this one and live anywhere near me, I'll buy it off you after you're done

Versed- We are done having babies after this LO so I would definitely sell it. I'm in Northern VT but have family and friends in NY.
I got it for $225 and its the version with the vibrations and nightlight, etc. It has an extra sheet and a waterproof cover that my aquaintance bought from the halo site. I think it was a good deal considering it's like new. It's the only newish thing we've bought for this LO.

Nice - we're in NH, so we're practically neighbors!
