Product Description
The First Years Carry-Me-Near 5-in-1 Sleep System is a portable sleeper, bassinet, bedside sleeper, play seat and changing table all in one convenient product! The three sleep modes allow you to keep your sleeping baby close to you wherever you go. Thanks to the ergonomically designed handle, you can confidently carry your sleeping baby from room to room in the Portable Sleeper. Built directly into the handle are battery-operated gentle vibrations, five peaceful audio selections and a nightlight. You can also put your baby down in the full-sized Bassinet that features a sturdy base that you can rock back and forth or lock into place. For added convenience, you can easily convert the Bassinet into a Bedside Sleeper that securely attaches to the adult bed, allowing you to feed and comfort your baby without having to get out of bed. When you need to change your baby's diaper in the middle of the night, the easy-to-clean, vinyl covered changing table offers a separate surface from the sleep area. And when you just want a secure, comfortable place for your young baby to play, the Portable Sleeper becomes a Play Seat complete with fun plush characters that dangle from the canopy.
Editorial Review
With three sleep options (portable sleeper, bassinet, bedside sleeper); a play seat with vibrations, music, and sound effects; and changing table, this five-in-one bassinet is a boon for any parent of a newborn. The bassinet rocks or locks into place, and features a backrest that inclines to ease congestion (those tiny nostrils do get clogged up!), an air-flow sleep area, and a cotton/polyester sheet and bassinet cover. The portable sleeper allows busy parents to carry sleeping baby from room to room, folds easily for travel, adjusts for sleep or play, and includes a safety harness for security. The bedside sleeper is wonderful for exhausted mommies and daddies who want to feed and soothe their infant without getting out of bed. It attaches securely to the parental bed and has five height positions. The changing table provides a separate changing surface from sleep area. Handy pockets keep diapering supplies close by, and the easy-to-clean vinyl cover is a no-brainer. Music and nature sounds soothe baby, along with gentle vibrations and a soft-glow nightlight. There's even a cute mobile to entertain a wakeful baby. Four AA batteries required (not included). Discontinue use when baby reaches 17.5 pounds or is highly mobile. --Emilie Coulter

 Portable, Convenient, and Versatile October 4, 2008
This item has been so useful. When we moved cross country the baby had his own familiar bed every night. It is compact. We learned after we got it that it folds up so it becomes the size of the handle. We even took it camping with us long after he out grew the weight limit since it just sat on the floor of the tent. The best part is that the music, vibrations, and a nightlight are in the handle so no extra unit to mess with. We did buy a pad to put in it as the padding was too thin. We were able to find a firm changing table pad that fit very snuggly so it was still safe but also not like sleeping on cardboard. It still folded pretty well with the extra pad. This ranks high on my list of must haves.

We bought this bassinet after the one we had was recalled! I did extra research to make sure this one was safe. Well, it may be safe but it's certainly not comfortable for parent or baby. The metal bars on the sides of the bassinet (the legs for when the bassinet is portable) are not padded so the baby can hit them and hurt themself when they are kicking or moving around; the "seat belt" is not removeable and is placed where baby sleeps. If you're not belting them in for their sleep then they are sleeping on top of the cumbersome belt - very uncomfortable!; The sleeping pad is too soft and bends in the middle - very uncomfortable; The bassinet is too high for our bed - and we have a very tall bed. Although the legs are adjustable they don't adjust enough; The carry arm is difficult to release (I'd be frustrated if I was trying to adjust this at night); The sleeping area is very small (much smaller than the other bassinet we had); The bassinet sits inside the stand as opposed to attaching to it. I didn't think that would be a problem (I read another person's review about that) until I put it together and I see that it's not as "snug" as it should be for safety's sake; and, finally, I believe, now that I see it, that there is NO REASON for there to be a changing pad on this bassinet. It just makes the whole contraption bulky, uncomfortable, and unsafe! A bassinet should be for sleeping only.
I will be dismantling this bassinet and returing it immediately!
Very Nice Bassinet with a lot of Features July 29, 2008

I purchased this bassinet for my sister-in-law. It looks nice and has a lot of features. The color is more of an ivory with a little beige design in the fabric. It will mesh with any decor.

 Fancy options don't work very well. Not worth the money. December 2, 2007

My daughter slept in this bassinet from birth to around 4 or 5 months. She never had a problem sleeping in it. There is a comfortable pad for her, a night light for checkups in the middle of the night, and a vibrator feature. That said, this thing annoyed my husband and I so much, we cursed it almost daily! The vibrator feature seemed to have a mind of its own - if it felt like it, it would go on, if not, we were out of luck. I put this item on our registry because I was looking forward to being able to carry around the top from room to room and to wheel it around when necessary. Well, the top weighs a ton when there's a sleeping baby in it, so I didn't even try to lift it as I was recovering from my c-section. And the wheels seem to only want to go forward and backward, so when I would move it around the room (which I had to do every day) I had to shove it with all of my might to turn it. All in all, it was way too much money for the limited use of all of the fancy options that you pay for. A stationary bassinet with no removable top would have been just as good, and a lot cheaper.
