Newborn Bassinet Insert Bassinets Pending Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "Our baby is now six weeks old and finally got comfortable sleeping alone in the bassinet two weeks ago thanks to this insert. My husband and I are now getting more sleep."
• "Our newborn sleeps very comfortably in this Halo insert, usually 8-9 hours during the night now."
• "It fit my bassinet perfect but I did have to mess around with the clips a bit to get it right."
• "When he is sleeping in this, he lays safely on his back instead of moving all over the place."
• "It’s hugs him, keeps him elevated, confirms to safe sleep and fills some of the negative space he hates."
• "This was the perfect solution and really cradled him like he was back in the womb."
• "It cradles my baby and I can sleep with ease knowing there is no hazard involved with putting her down in this."

Cons:

• "Dissatisfied that it doesn’t fit and bad to return it and purchase the original Halo newborn insert which fits and works like a charm."
• "Purchased because my 3 week old doesn’t sleep well in this bassinet. There are two wedges in the middle that look like they are for a very large baby."
• "It just doesn’t come close enough to his body and didn’t change the environment of the bassinet enough to make a difference."
• "After attaching the insert the sides were very loose even after moving the clips horizontally."
• "Says it fits all Halo models but this, indeed, does not!"
• "It does significantly decrease visibility into the bassinet, and did not provide a snug fit."
• "Too loose on my halo flex bassinest, I was too nervous to use it."

Installation and Cleaning

Pros:

• "Also easy to clean definitely recommend if you have the halo bassinet."
• "Fits well on Halo bassinest and is convenient to clean as the liner zips out."
• "The quality is excellent and it is easily unzipped to be washed."
• "It’s also very easy to wash and insert!"
• "Washing is a breeze. Once you install the clip portion, you don’t have to undo the clips every time, the hanging down part unzips so you can wash just that."
• "I also love the fact that the insert easily detaches from the clips via a zipper around the top to wash the insert."
• "Easy to remove to wash - we do it several times a week."

Cons:

• "It came dirty. Once installed it didn't look like it provided any extra comfort to my baby."
• "It was very difficult to install and a lot of force had to be used."
• "Extremely hard to put onto the bassinet. The plastic is just too tight that it pops off the rim."
• "Also, the clips are so hard to attach due the fabric around the bassinet."
• "The clips didn’t really fit around the bars I’d have to jam them on and then sometimes one would pop up off the bar."
• "I ended up returning it because it was also defective and one of the arms broke."
• "Bought for my 1mth old baby (7lbs). Didn't provide much support compared to just the bassinet."

Safety and Visibility

Pros:

• "The sides are breathable and transparent to check on without getting out of bed."
• "The insert kept her in one spot so she couldn’t turn over and has the mesh sides which keep her breathing safely."
• "I feel safe knowing all of the siding is mesh."
• "It is very breathable so I feel like our baby is very safe."
• "The sides are breathable and with the position of the bumpers there is no real way for his nose to get close to the mesh."
• "We actually felt a bit safer bc it kept her from rolling without being a positioner."
• "It's like they're almost being held, when they turn there's the mesh siding and they're good."
