Halo BassiNest

If it makes you feel better I feel like there's always going to be someone scaring you in the comments of a bassinet review! That being said, I loved my Halo Bassinest because I could have baby super close and visible, and easy to get in and out!

Agreed! We also have the halo and love it. Baby boy is 7 weeks and consistently sleeping 5.5 hours in it for his first stretch at night. We've never had a problem with the mattress that it comes with. We have a low platform bed and I love that the halo swivels to be just about my height so baby and I are basically head to head while I'm in bed.

Second the halo swivel! I got it for my second baby and it's amazing. Just moved my 5 month old out of it tonight. #endofanera

Another vote for the Halo. My wife had a C-section, so being able to wing the baby over and lower the rail was a big help vs. having to sit up, reach down, pick the baby up.

We got a Halo Bassinest from a family member who was done with it. They had the Luxe Swivel Sleeper version. So far, we've been really happy with the bassinet, it gets right up close to the bed, the push down wall is super nice - but we definitely don't use the "luxe" features. So, some of their other models may work just as well!

Halo would be my choice. Used it for my first. I would disagree with the snoo, i think there are a lot of other affordable options. I'm sorry the facebook marketplace rout didn't work. I got both of our bassinets from there with great success. Maybe try again?

I loved the Halo Swivel 3.0 (without the vibration, etc). I would sometimes rock my baby to sleep with swiveling it back and forth. I never noticed a tilt. I thought the legs were kind of annoying but I got used to them. I think this bassinet is worth it because your baby can be so close to you and sleep is still safe for them which is important.
