HALO Innovations BassiNest Connected Swivel Sleeper 3.0 Smart Baby Bassinet - Gray

This has been a blessing to our sleep schedule. It helps in the middle of the night for those sleepy feedings. The pull down side helps significantly and pulling them on to the bed to look in the bassinet is a great feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet. I loved that it was super easy to set up and I really liked how easily the one side folded down to be able to reach in to baby if needed during the night. The fact that I could bring my baby in closer to me or have him a bit farther out away from the bed is extremely nice and convenient. This gives him the ability to learn how to sleep a bit more independently, but also gives the opportunity for a bit of extra comfort/soothing if I need to pull him in a bit closer to me. I loved the looks of it and the fact that the lighted buttons were very neat and sleek looking once turned on. I did feel that I had to be very careful to not bump against them whenever I would pick up/lay down my baby because they were so sensitive that they would easily come on. (Not a big deal though). I thought the sounds it came with were all very nice and I felt like the heartbeat sound was pretty realistic sounding which was neat. Although, I was a bit surprised that it had a music note (for the sound button) , but then it didn’t have any music. Not a deal breaker, but just surprised it didn’t have at least one song option for a lullaby or something. My daughter even asked why there was a music note and no music, too. Haha. The AutoSoothe was a nice feature. I loved the app and I could see this autosoothe being extremely helpful from the start, right after getting home from the hospital as a newborn. I wish I would have had it sooner for those long nights! Especially with not wanting to always move around a lot after giving birth…this would do some of the rocking/consoling for you and allow mama to get a bit more rest and help through recovery. My baby is a few months old now, and sleeps much better than my first two babies, so I think sometimes it would startle him a bit when the AutoSoothe kicked on at first… just because he hasn’t been use to it previously and we don’t end up needing it very often right now. After the first few times of it kicking in though, he seems like he is started to get use to it more and it has come in really handy! While he goes to sleep great, if he wakes up super early in the morning and starts to fuss; most of the time he will go right back to sleep as soon as the AutoSoothe kicks on. Allowing me to get a couple more hours of sleep! That’s been soooo nice not having to get up as early!! The auto soothe did seem to kick on almost as soon as he would start crying. Which was pretty impressive! However, I found that the cry detection was either all or nothing. For instance, if I set the AutoSoothe on a low sensitivity, then it wouldn’t pick him up and start even if he was in the bed. BUT if I set the sensitivity to middle or high, it worked so well that It seemed to pick up his crying clear On the other side of the house during the day time even. lol. So we would come into our room at random times throughout the day and find that it was turned on and rocking by itself even though there was no baby in it. While that was a bit annoying at times, I still feel like that if it’s something that can help get you through those sleepless nights…it’s still worth it! I just would have to remember to turn it off in the app throughout the day :) I like the breathable material that is around the main part. It has such a nice feel and it is one thing I noticed right off the bat and loved. However, I do wish it was a bit easier to see-through during the night. It would be nice to be able to see into without having to raise myself up quite a bit to be able to see up and over the side to check on / look at baby. We have an older version of the halo swivel from a few years ago and that, along with the option of the music, are the two things that I miss in this newer version. If you have read this far, hehe….Over all, I definitely recommend this BassiNest! My baby seems fine with the sounds it does offer and I love the app with the built in program to adjust things to their age group so they don’t become super reliant on always having to be rocked the whole time while sleeping. Even with a baby that sleeps very well…it’s still helped me get even more sleep! I wish SO much that I would have had this for my oldest child who had such a hard time sleeping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the Halo BassiNest 3.0 Connected as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I must say, this is the neatest bassinet I've ever seen! Thr fact that it senses when our newborn daughter (now 9 weeks old) wakes up and will soothe her back to sleep without me getting up or even moving a muscle, is a lifesaver! This bassinet was simple to put together following the instructions. My husband put it together within 15 minutes. Once I downloaded the app and synced everything, it was a breeze to work. I love that this bassinet comes with so many presets for soothing your little one. It makes setting the bassinet very easy. I also love the drop down side, which is very handy when nursing a little one and having it beside your bed. I don't even have to get out the bed to pick up our daughter for night time feeds. The bassinet itself can swivel, so I can adjust it however I need to without moving the base. It is a very level bassinet, so baby doesn't roll to one side unless they roll themselves. A level bassinet is so important!! It's also very handy that the bassinet can be removed from the base and carried around the house. I'm a stickler for safe sleep no matter what time of day, and having this where ever I am in the house for naps ensures my daughter has a safe sleep space. She really likes the soothing aspects of the bassinet, and we can easily lay her down awake and she will fall asleep on her own. I wish there was something like this on the market 3 years ago for our son! This is definitely the perfect bassinet for newborns and parents who value every minute of sleep they can get, like me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, we are pleased! It was super easy to set up, maybe 15-20 min once everything was out of the box. Our two month old really likes the soothing features, especially the vibration and rocking feature. I appreciate the lowering wall for the late night feedings. I like how the bed/mattress is a decent size for our baby, but the whole bassinet isn’t too big or bulky. The pictures I took are from when we first took it out of the box. I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When the Bassinest 3.0 arrived, my wife and I were so excited to try it out! I promptly went to work assembling it. I thought it was going to take more work, but it was SO easy! I was done with assembly within 20 minutes, and we easily set up Bluetooth and installed the app on our phones. This was a super smooth and easy process. After assembly, I wasn't too happy with how much space the Halo took up. The legs are really wide, and they do take up a lot of room. It would be a lie to say we didn't stub our toes on it once or twice at night. That being said, the design makes sense, and the Halo's wide legs and design allow the Bassinest to slide close to our bed. This was extremely convenient. There is an adjustable height option, and there's an option on the Bassinest itself to unlock and lock the sides. This was absolutely helpful with nighttime feeds and moments of soothing. We were able to swivel the bassinet over so it would come really close to me and my wife, making nighttime's so much easier. My wife mentioned this made her feel like she was close to our baby, and she felt good about following safe sleep practices at the same time. This was a huge selling point for us! The app ran all controls flawlessly, and we really liked that it was customizable. The sound machine had multiple sounds, including a heartbeat one. It sounded like a real womb, and we were impressed with that. There is a rocking mechanism that starts when the baby begins to cry and then vibration as well. You can program this in the app to react however you want it to when it senses your baby crying. There's even a sensitivity setting. That was super handy and helped soothe our little one on multiple occasions. A few times we had to actually rouse her awake again after my wife ran to the restroom! I'd say that's a massive win! Overall, we really love the Halo BassiNest and would recommend it to family and friends. We will be sad when our little one outgrows it. As far as improvements or additions go, I would be interested in having some sheets or something to place over the bottom mattress in case of spit-ups or blowouts. Also, this is not a huge deal, but the night light is only red. It was eerie, and we never used it. We would have preferred a pale white or even soft blue light over red. Not a deal breaker, but it would have been great to have one other option outside of the red. Again, not a big deal, and overall we still rate the Halo a 10/10 for ease of use, functionality, and overall performance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I had a great experience with the Halo Bassinest! It was easy to set up and use right out of the box, though the legs are a bit bulky and can be awkward to navigate around in smaller spaces. As for the automatic soothing features, they unfortunately didn’t work as expected for me. I never noticed it responding to my baby’s cries, which was a bit disappointing. That said, I still appreciated having the built-in soothing features ! They were amazing, especially the rocking motion, which helped get my baby back to sleep if he was already drowsy. However, the rocking occasionally made a strange knocking sound that I couldn’t ever figure out, and it became pretty annoying during nighttime hours. It only happened randomly but often enough that I noticed. I really liked the swivel base and the lowering wall. The swivel made nighttime feedings and check-ins so much easier and made the Bassinest easy to navigate around in my room. With my old bassinet, it was so annoying having to move it to get in and out of bed every night and morning. The lowering wall was way convenient and felt so safe. I had previously had a bassinet with a wall that would detach so you would see baby all the time. I was so scared a pillow or blanket would accidentally fall in there so the lowering wall is like the perfect happy medium! That said, there is a bit of a learning curve with the wall, as I had to be careful not to catch my baby’s arm between it and the mattress. All in all, it’s a thoughtfully designed bassinet with some great features, even if a few things could use improvement. I loved it way more than my old bassinet and the soothing features are so nice for a newborn! Thank you to the Stellar testing panel for providing me with the Halo Bassinest to try out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the HALO BassiNest Connected Swivel Sleeper 3.0 to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I was so interested in this feature rich product to try with my brand new baby! My newest addition was having a lot of sleep challenges at the time we received this product so I was very excited to see if it could help us out. The bassinet itself seemed very well made and sturdy- most of the components of the legs are metal, not plastic, and the whole product is made up of a small amount of pieces which made it very straightforward to get setup. I will say that the whole bassinet is surprisingly heavy and I definitely did need help from my husband to get it upstairs to our room so make sure you have help if you are planning on building this while pregnant. The bassinet also does take up a fair amount of floor space but not much more than a typical bassinet and taking everything back apart to put away was very simple as well (this process was also included in the instruction manual which I really appreciated!). I have a platform bed and I did find it to be slightly too tall to use with my bed and I was unable to lower it any more to accommodate that, so we ended up just keeping it next to the bed instead of positioned over it and as a result I did not end up using the drop down side. There was additionally an issue with the app timing out on me during setup but after restarting the issue went away and everything connected just fine. I used it primarily during the day initially so I could get a feel for how it worked with mixed results. The auto soothing feature in particular was somewhat inconsistent, it tended to kick in too late when my baby was spinning up and it also was getting triggered by the baby crying in other rooms. You can dial back the sensitivity for this in the app but given that it was not triggering soon enough I didn’t want to scale this back too much. I did find however that the suggested program for my baby’s age did have good results when I manually turned it on and those settings definitely helped us to get him to sleep quicker than average which was very nice! Up to this point I had been manually rocking our other bassinet so it was really nice to not have to do that anymore. The soothing functions were pretty solid overall and it definitely seemed like a worthwhile function when you could trigger it manually. I am not sure the auto soothing feature worked well for my particular baby but it might work fine for a baby that doesn’t escalate fussing very quickly. Overall I think this bassinet is certainly a good happy medium for someone looking for a product that has some nice automation to help ease the manual soothing required for a newborn but maybe doesn’t want to spend a ludicrous amount of money to do so. I personally am not sure it really helped us overall but I think that had more to do with my specific baby and his soothing needs and less that the product wasn’t up to par.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I had the opportunity to try this bassinet—and I’m so grateful I did. As a first-time parent, I found the setup straightforward, and the overall design feels solid and well thought out for new parents navigating long nights. The swivel and lowering wall were standout features for me. Being able to easily reach over to comfort or pick up my baby without getting out of bed made middle-of-the-night wake-ups so much more manageable, especially while recovering physically. The automatic soothing features were a big plus in the early weeks when we were still figuring out what worked for our daughter. The gentle vibrations and subtle sounds didn’t always guarantee sleep, but they helped extend a nap or buy us a few extra minutes to prepare a bottle or catch our breath. While our baby eventually preferred a different sleep setup as she got older, this bassinet was a huge help in the newborn phase and made those tough first weeks a little easier on all of us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I was really impressed with the HALO BassiNest Swivel Sleeper. It felt like a well-designed product made with both baby’s safety and parents’ convenience in mind. From the very beginning, setup was straightforward and didn’t take long at all. The instructions were clear, and once it was assembled, the bassinet felt incredibly sturdy and secure. One of the standout features for me was the 360-degree swivel and the lowering bedside wall. During those exhausting newborn nights, being able to pull the bassinet closer and gently lower the side to reach my baby without fully sitting up was such a game changer—especially while recovering physically. It made those frequent nighttime feedings feel much more manageable and less disruptive. The swivel also made it easy to get in and out of bed without having to move the entire unit. The automatic soothing features (like gentle vibrations, sounds, and light) were a nice bonus. My baby didn’t always respond to them, but when he did, it really helped settle him down without needing to pick him up right away. I especially appreciated the soft nightlight and the slight vibration setting—both added a calming environment during middle-of-the-night wakeups. As far as sleep goes, I do think the HALO helped my baby fall back asleep more quickly after feeds or fussiness. Having him close and safely in his own space gave me peace of mind, and I think that calm confidence helped us both get more rest. The only downsides I’d mention are that the base is wide and heavy, which made it difficult to move between rooms, and the soothing features turn off after a relatively short period (a longer timer option would’ve been helpful). But overall, those were small trade-offs for such a functional and well-built bassinet. In short, the HALO BassiNest truly made the newborn stage easier for me. I’d definitely recommend it to other new parents—especially those looking for a safe, convenient co-sleeping option that supports recovery and bonding. Huge thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet to try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Halo BassiNest. It was surprisingly easy to assemble which is important to me postpartum. Being able to control all the soothing features through the app has been extremely helpful. I am able to set the baby down for a nap and still be able to control the bassinet from another room. So whether I'm taking a much needed mom break or tending to my toddler, I'm still able to soothe my baby. The app even has preset options that are recommended by experts. The presets are grouped by your baby's age which is so cool to me. I tested different ones for my baby and we found his favorite. Now when I set him in the bassinet with the preset, he just laughs and babbles. I've tried other bassinets and he would cry immediately and I'd have to pick him up to soothe him again. Bedtime has been easier since I can easily swivel the bassinet bedside and lower the side of it to get baby in and out. That's a game changer since I'm healing from a C-section and exclusively breastfeeding. I highly recommend the Halo BassiNest now having been able to see it in action and really put it to the test with a velcro and reflux baby. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to be given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel because I never bought one of these “fancy” bassinets with my first baby. Me (and my baby) love the rocking and vibration settings and it’s really neat how you can control the bassinet from an app on your phone. I set up a custom setting for my baby that works amazing and definitely puts her to sleep. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, it’s easy for me to hit the heart button with my saved setting. It’s also easy to adjust your saved setting in the app, which I’ve done a few times as her likes have changed over the last month since we started using this product. I love the size of this bassinet. I was blessed with very long/tall babies and my first grew out of her bassinet at four months. I won’t have that issue with this one! I also love the swivel feature, it makes changing diapers SO easy, something I had no room to do with my previous bassinet, so I’m able to change my baby and she quickly falls back to sleep. The nightlight feature also comes in really handy for nighttime diaper changes and doesn’t wake my husband up because it’s a nice soft glow. This bassinet is also really easy to clean. The bassinet sheet comes right off and is easy to pop in the washing machine, which is great because my baby spits up a lot. I only gave the bassinet four stars because I had high hopes for the auto soothe technology and sadly it doesn’t work that well. It seems to only turn on when my baby is really screaming, despite being on the most sensitive setting, or during the day when my baby isn’t even in it. My toddler acting silly seems to set it off the most. Overall, I would recommend this bassinet. The rocking and vibration features definitely help get my baby to sleep and make bedtime much easier, which I really appreciate because I also have a toddler to deal with. While the auto soothe technology doesn’t work the best, the bassinet is right next to our bed so if my baby wakes up I simply reach over and push a button and the bassinet will quickly rock her back to sleep.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy I got this bassinet! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me and my baby this product, he has absolutely loved it! Setup was a breeze and it only took a a few minutes. The mattress is firm, so he feels supported and it is a bigger bassinet which is great as my son (3 months old) already outgrew his first one. The swivel part scared him a little, but he was obsessed with the vibrate mode. I had set it so the autosoothe would play some music and vibrate the bassinet and he would go back down so quickly! The app connectivity was also great, and overall I would highly recommend this to all of my friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleep is the biggest pain point during the first few weeks of having a newborn. The only question you get asked is “Are you getting any sleep?”. All of the advertisements on social media are from ‘sleep experts’ who have the perfect sleep solution. There’s a good reason! Even a few extra minutes of sleep can feel like the difference between sanity and insanity. The Halo BassiNest Connected Swivel Sleeper is one of those things that can get you a few precious minutes of extra sleep. It was incredibly easy to assemble. We had it up and running in less than 10 minutes and it looks so sleek. I loved the rocking motion of the bassinet. It moved “back and forth” instead of “up and down”, which my newborn preferred. I set up a routine on the app on my phone, so I didn’t have to toggle a million buttons in the middle of the night. The automatic soothing setting wasn’t foolproof. It worked better in the middle of the night. During nap times, it would start from other noises around the house and startle my baby. But at night, it was wonderful. Just a little soothing would put her back to sleep, letting me get an hour or more of extra sleep. That’s priceless! The only other thing I would consider before purchasing is the size. This is not a small bassinet. If you have a small bedroom, it may not fit. The legs of the bassinet come up quite high, as well, so they may not fit under your bed. We have a large bedroom with a high bed, so it wasn’t a problem for us. I loved how it swiveled over my bed and the side wall came down, making midnight feedings so much easier. Overall, the Halo BassiNest is a luxury and a beacon of hope for tired new moms. I’m so thankful that I received this product from Stellar Product Testing Panel for review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this bassinet!! The rocking feature is the best part about it, but that’s because it calms my baby down right away and helps him fall asleep. Which is always great when you’re a twin mom & need the time to cater to more than one baby. This has an app which can control the bassinet amongst other features like a night light, sounds etc. We’ve enjoyed it so much the only problem we’ve encountered is that out of nowhere it’s making a clicking sound everytime I place my baby down in it. Unsure why that’s happening but I haven’t found a solution yet. Besides that it’s been so great, the quality is amazing of course. Halo does not disappoint. Thank you to stellar for allowing me to test this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bassinet is so fun to use, the tech features are so innovative. Set up was fairly simple, it took a couple of us to figure it out and get all the pieces snapped together securely. Using the features is easy, I like how you can use the buttons on the bassinet or in the app on your phone. My favorite features are the swivel motion and the nightlight that illuminates the floor. The swivel motion has two speeds that my baby enjoyed and hot back to sleep quickly with that movement. The base legs of the bassinet are quite large and easy to trip over especially in the dark. The nightlight helped us stay aware of the space the bassinet took up. The lowering wall was also a nice feature so I didn’t have to reach up as high to get my baby out of the bassinet. Overall, this bassinet is easy and enjoyable to use. The different features are great and I appreciate all the options that are available. I would prefer a smaller base with legs that are less protruding but the size of the entire bassinet is perfect for my little one. Thank you to the Stellar Panel for providing me with this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how stable this bassinet is and all the functionality of it, not to mention how easy it is to put together (and break down when you decide you want it somewhere else in the house). I especially love love love that you can wash every piece of fabric on this! Fabric is soft and washes well as you expect from this brand. I love the smooth swivel feature, but also love that you can take this bassinet and just put it straight down on the floor too. The ability to bend down one side of the bassinet when it's bedside is so awesome, but having to unlock on the opposite side is really inconvenient. I don't feel comfortable leaving it unlocked for my baby's safety, but having to swivel the bassinet around or reach over to unlock defeats the convenience of the feature. If there was a way to unlock it on the side that the bassinet wall folds down, I think it would be much better. Still, a helpful feature for late night breastfeeding. I like the white noise features, but wish the volume could go louder. The light function doesn't seem to really light up much of anything... The movement and vibration functions are great, but has been a hit or miss with my LO. Maybe if the rocking feature can get slightly stronger, that could help. My husband didn't like how firmly the bassinet wall snapped back up, whereas I thought it was good, so that one may be subjective. I wasn't particularly a fan of the movement feature timing out. I thought it would continue to rock until I turned it off, but it would stop on its own once a certain time passed or the autosoothe function was done. I love how gradually the rocking stops, but once the movement stopped my LO was up. All in all, this is a beautiful sturdy bassinet with extra bells and whistles that make a postpartum mama's days and nights just a little bit easier and baby's sleep calmer and safe. There is an app function and it works, but I personally didn't need it as often as I thought i worked. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but would be likely to buy it myself and recommend to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I first received the box I was impressed how well it was packed and light to carry. Putting it together only took about 20 minutes (while entertaining a toddler and a newborn). The fabric is so easy to take on and off for cleaning. The automatic soothing feature was really helpful during the night. It never put my son back to sleep, but it did give me more time to get ready to feed him or change his diaper. It also kept him calm before bed while I got everything ready to put him to sleep. The bassinet helped shorten our bedtime routine which has been extremely nice. I loved the swivel aspect. The lowering wall was nice, however I wish the unlocking switch wasn't in the back. I like keeping it locked when I wasn't lowering the wall so I had to unlock it every time and I couldn't just reach around (arms weren't long enough to reach it while trying to reach around). I either had to swivel it or stand up. Other than that I loved this bassinet and am excited to use it until my son grows out of it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Couldn’t get pictures as it is in my home. This thing is definitely worth the money! My favorite part is how it has the side to come down, 100% worth it alone for that! So helpful when you are postpartum & breastfeeding. It was relatively easy to put together. So far the durability is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this bassinest has been a game changer for postpartum because of how convenient and comfortable this bassinest is for my little one. The assembly is quick and very easy to set up. An added bonus is you can take the top part off and carry it around the house for wherever you need a safe place for baby to rest. The automatic soothing features are so helpful for navigating the newborn days. You can either use the user friendly interface to select what features work best for baby, or use the app with custom prefixed settings. The presets take the guess work out and are based off your babies age. It really worked for my little one and helped calm her especially as a gassy premie with reflux. The rocking and vibration was a favorite for my newborn. It helped her adjust to being in the bassinest and got her to sleep every night. We didn't always need it, but when she was fussy I was so grateful these added features where there. My favorite part was how easy it is to swivel to keep baby close while still promoting safe sleep. The lowering wall makes is simple to take baby in and out without needing to get out of bed. That makes for nighttime changes and feeding better for recovering moms. My baby apperciated being close too and I believe it promoted better sleep because of that for both of us. Thank you to the Stellar Product testing Panel for sending us this bassinet to try out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a huge fan of Halo. I thought the original Swivel Sleeper was hard to beat, but this now directly competes with the other connected sleepers (but at a more reasonable price point). This Connected Swivel Sleeper is a game-changer. The amount of times my husband and I are watching our little one on the camera and see her getting fussy, and when I tell you we RACE to turn this on in the app, it has already completely changed our sleep for her. She is now 3 months old and is already sleeping upwards of 11.5 hours per night (she normally averages around the 9 hour range). This has directly helped us to now get more sleep, and I am so grateful. PROs: -Fairly easy to assemble, maybe around 20 minutes. -New one is less bulky on the legs - it doesn’t take up as much space. I’m thinking it’s because the legs are angled taller than previously. Much prefer it taking up a smaller footprint (less chance of me tripping over it). -The materials used now feel much nicer, better quality. The Original SS felt cheaper. -This unit can absolutely get much taller than the previous, so love the adaptability this one has. -The inner wall of the bassinet is taller than the original, which I prefer the taller one more - it makes me feel safer with her there. -When my 3-month old gets overly-tired, it’s normally very hard to get her to go back to sleep. We have had her in the original SS, but once my husband had built the 3.0 Connected, we decided to quickly swap it out and see if it helps settle her. It worked like a CHARM. I have loved the SS BassiNest, but now I’m so relieved to have something to help me calm her down if she’s stirring in the middle of the night without having to always rock her. CONs: -This unit is definitely heavier than the original (non-connected) model. -The app could be a little better - if you have the Soothing Preset on and you want to extend the motion time, you have to turn it off, and then add the motion on separately. You should be able to do this without turning off the device. -Sometimes the app gives me an “Alert: Invalid token” message, which is odd. If I just back out and go back in, it's fine. -The bassinet auto-soothe only starts if you have the sensitivity set to the highest setting, and it doesn't always capture the light little cries. It will only start moving if she's ballistic. My baby doesn't always go from 0 to 100 in screaming when she starts waking up, so for this to truly work, the bassinet needs to be able to detect her shifting and low crying/whining before she really gets into it. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something they could work on improving. -The app is little too basic. The features could be a little more intuitive. If you have the Soothing Preset on and you want to extend the motion time, you have to turn it off, and then add the motion on separately. You should be able to do this without turning off the device. -If you don’t lay her directly in the center of the bassinet, it does make a louder clicking sound. And honestly, if she is asleep and has slightly shifted with her feet closer to the wall, I am not moving her if she’s asleep. Luckily it doesn’t seem to bother her. -Wish there was a dimmer on the button lights when the unit is on - it's a little bright. However, when the unit turns off, the lights do go off. Would love to see the 'why' to the pre-set suggested settings. I think as your little one ages out of this bassinet, it would be beneficial on how to transition to a regular crib. Unless Halo plans to come out with a rocking crib? Overall, I am very impressed with this unit. It has come in super helpful, and I do think the pros outweigh the cons. I do think the app can and should be improved upon from what I listed above. The clicking sounds are annoying, but it is not taking away from the functionality of the unit. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.
