We used ours for at least six months...also have a convertible one...the peg perego skate 2009 model..the new model has the bassinette and seat as separate attahcments which suck in my opinion...we loved being able to pop it into bassinette mode if he fell asleep in those days when he was transitioning from lying down to sitting up...
Our pram is the Baby Jogger City Elite and we used our bassinet until DD was 9 weeks. She didn't enjoy it as much as I thought she would and she was SO much happier when we put her in the normal seat in the pram. She had silent reflux though and was a very alert and inquisitive baby so lying down while out and about wasn't for her. We used it a bit though when we went out for in the evening instead of a portacot so it was worth the $$.
I'll be buying a stand for it for our next baby and will use it as our bassinet full time (we borrowed our last one). If I had my time over though, I would have bought the SnS capsule (which also attaches to our pram) and used that instead of a bassinet.
I use mine all the time but not just in the pram. i usedit for sleep time during the day and move baby around to whichever room i am in. If I am outside baby sleeps in it in the pram under the trees.
DD hated her's!!! She would cry every time I took her for a walk in it!! So nope we didn't use ours for long!!! I wouldn't bother ever buying another one but thats just me.
We have a bugaboo cam and DD is 6 months old and I have just stopped using the bassinet. It is awesome, we used it on the pram and around the house - soooo easy.
We used ours until DS was about 3 months old, but because he was born in March and it was still pretty warm, he used to get cooked in there as it was pretty deep and not much breeze went through it. The main reason I bought it was because my pram (Baby Jogger City Elite) was not suitable for a newborn (I read a review on the pram before I bought it) and I wanted bub to face me for a while. I didn't use it for going out much as DS was a big baby so he started to feel cramped up in there pretty quickly.
A friend of mine has just moved her DD out of her Bertini (I think) into a cot and she's about 7 months. She liked the bassinet because she had an April baby and it was getting cool. She used it for everything and being a pram could have the "bed" anywhere in the house she was.
