Bassinets are only needed under very specific circumstances. And even so, they aren't needed for long. My sister got this Fisher Price bassinet and other than putting her tot in there to justify the purchase, it is mostly left unused. The gliding DOES NOT calm or soothe him in any way. Grown ups think having a bed that slides back and forth would be relaxing and awesome, but for an infant, nothing can replace the human touch. The bed is also so small, there is so much cushion that the space left for the tot would not fit more than a 3 month old. There is no room to change diapers even so it isn't even good for that. The battery life is ridiculous, one use and all 4 D batteries go kaput. It does look cute though, I'll give it that, so at least sitting there being useless is not an eye sore. Available at Amazon
