Thread: "Help choosing a bedside bassinet"
I second this. I have a Halo (Glide, not Swivel), and it hovers above my IKEA bed. Also to lower the side you need to push two buttons on the sides, and they make a horrible loud click. Overall, not super convenient to get a baby out of it without getting up.
Thread: "What’s your favourite bassinet ?"
I liked my Halo bassinet, I got the Glide instead of the Swivel as my sister said she knocked everything off her nightstand a few times lol. It's nice because it's mesh so you can see baby, and it's quite large so he fit for a good long time. A wrap IS a lot of fabric but I love my Beluga Baby still! It's incredibly soft and while there is a bit of a learning curve to tying it, once you can the hang of it it's really easy! And baby is so nice and cozy. I also like my Tula Explore carrier, it's a soft structured carrier good to use from newborn without an extra insert. I have a Medela Freestyle Flex pump to build up a freezer stash. I don't mind it but I don't have anything to compare it to.
Thread: "Best bedside bassinet?"
I purchased the Halo Glide bassinet after reading and watching YouTube reviews. I liked that it has mesh sides and pulls up right to the bed so that baby is kind of co sleeping without actually co sleeping!
Thread: "Halo Swivel Sleeper Premiere? [on]"
I had the Halo Glide, the one with no fancy features and the two legs that slide under the bed. It was great. I have a small room and being able to have it take up zero floor space when not in use was awesome.
Thread: "What’s your favourite bassinet ?"
Omg are you me?? I also have the halo glide, beluga baby wrap, and Medela flex! I got the ergo 360 as my structured carrier though. Excited to use them all!
Thread: "If your newborn slept decently well between MOTN feeds, which bassinet did you use?"
The cuddle curl with them on the boob all night worked great for my kids🫠 lol!!!! Nah but we liked our halo glide. No buttons or fancy this and that

And you have to keep holding them to keep the side down so you need a third hand to actually pick the baby up
Thread: "Help me pick a bassinet!"
I used a halo glide. Hated it! It didn't work with my bed, bit more importantly, the bed was slightly angled, making my baby slide around. I googled it after - apparently it's a common issue... Didn't feel safe to me
