This is a great product, if a bit pricey. I bought mine because we visit relatives a lot and needed a clean, comfortable place for the baby.
First, it is kind of hard to put together. Do not attempt to put it together without the directions! And manuevering the legs is kind of hard - they stretch out so far, and the buttons to release one side are hard to push in all the way. I have to use both hands and my chin to get this thing folded up.
Unfolding is easy, though. Once the legs are in place, you can either lay the baby down, or clip the buckle that's underneath to make it sit up. There is a hood that comes with it that can be snapped into place in a up position, or unsnapped to lie down out of the baby's way.
There is a soft pad in the bottom that just velcros into place so it can be removed for washing. The material covering the bassinet itself and the buckle is not removable, though.
The vibrating unit is very soft and gentle, it hardly makes any noise at all. It's very soothing and I think it helped keep my baby asleep, although it never pt her to sleep. If they do fall asleep while they're sitting up, then you can quietly unbuckle the buckle that's underneath and gently lie them down - it won't make any noise.
This is kind of heavy, and there is no padding on the foot rails that double as the handle, so you can't really carry over your shoulder, and if you are short, it's hard to carry in your hand because it will drag the ground. Oh yeah, there is also a nylon bag that comes with it to stick it in when it's folded up. This bag will fit in a pocket under the bassinet when it's open.
You're not supposed to use this bassinet once the baby is old enough to sit up on their own, or they will fall out. Also, do not place it on a high surface because it might vibrate off.
I was pleased with it, and hope to use it for my next baby. This is a good buy, even at $50!
