The basket is beautiful. The very thin sheet is a little difficult to get on and off. The basket itself has an odor from the material used to make it. At six weeks old, my son is out-growing it (he was born at 6lbs 12 oz). It is nice for traveling, though, and has served its purpose for me.
 Just a question about the care of this basket April 14, 2005

Does any of the owners of these types of baskets made by Baby Boom Basket Company know how to wash the fabric when baby makes a mess? What about the foam piece included in the basket? I tried washing it in the washer and it came out fine, but now the basket has a bleach smell to it, even though I didn't use bleach - I used a perfume free bleach free detergent. Any suggestions?

One was given to us as a gift and at first I wasn't excited about it. When my son first came home it wasn't much fun getting up to check on him every ten minutes when he was asleep in his crib (he slept A LOT during his first couple months). So I remembered this and dug it out. I could put him in this and carry him anywhere in the house without waking him. I could cook while keeping an eye on him, sit on the couch and not have to get up when he cried, ect. Not to mention it's very portable so you can take it with you when visiting family for a nice safe place for baby to nap. I was very dissapointed when he outgrew it.
Great for my 3-story townhouse September 21, 2003

I registered for this basket because I live in a 3-story townhouse and thought that having a "portable" bed for my baby would be handy. I was right - and this basket definitely fits the bill.It's a beautiful basket, made of soft woven grass -- it's flexible and soft, not rigid and scratchy like wicker might be. The foam pad in the bottom is about 1-1/2 inches thick and is firm, so no worries about suffocation. And it's perfect for carrying my sleeping son from one floor to another without waking him. The literature that comes with the basket says it's ok to use for children weighing up to 20 pounds; I get the feeling that my little boy will be too long for the basket before he reaches 20 pounds, but that's ok. The important thing for me was to have a way to move him from floor-to-floor while he was nursing every 3 hours. The basket is a little smaller than a standard bassinet; I've been using bassinet sheets on it and just pulling the extra fabric under the pad. Works like a charm. I'd reccommend this to anyone who is considering a bassinet...especially if space is an issue or if you have a multi-floor house!

When shopping for my new grandson, this beautiful basket immediately took my eye and I had to purchase it. I continued shopping-filling it with his lst Teddy Bear and other items. Looking at it I could not only see a newborn nestled amongst the eyelets, but the opportunities of future use. For now this basket will serve as a miniature bassinett when he visits and later may be utilized to hold all of his special toys, books and keepsakes. As he outgrows it- I can see it utilized in a number of ways...plants, flowers, books and even maybe the cat.
