How long did you use...

[allycat06]

Another Emmaljunga user here....DS slept (when we weren't co sleeping) in his until he was about 10 months. For walks and out and about, maybe 4 months or so.

I have a Bertini Bidwell. Pretty similar to the Emmaljunga.

our bugaboo one was used for 6 months...and well used at that (walking, sleeping etc)

I used it for 6 weeks! I tried to give DD her days sleeps in there but it turns out she had reflux so couldn't lie down without getting the burn, the poor wee sausage. So it was kind of a waste - but will keep it for the next bubba! xxx

Ours is a Silver Cross, not dissimilar to an Emmaljunga.

Bath, I used it in the house all the time for the first five months. He was so cosy and comfy in there, and I loved that I could wheel it around. Mine also has a stand which you can use, but with DS2 I just used the wheel base. DS1 didn't get as much time in it because his unmedicated reflux just didn't allow him to lie down much, but DS2 has been medicated for his, so different story

We used ours for about 4 months, Only the first 2 in the pram as he was much happier being able to see what was going on. We used it if we went to friends houses for him to sleep in mainly. I probably wouldn't buy one if I had to do it all again. Not to mention all the room it took up. His pram took up my whole boot, and the bassinet took up the rest of my back seat! I'm in an area where you have to use the car to get anywhere (windy dirt roads/no footpaths). I can imagine if I were in a more suburban area and could go on more walks from home it would have been used a lot more.

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...

DD slept in it for first 4-6 weeks downstairs during the day but hated going out for walks in it. She now prefers the sit up seat to look around. Ours is a Strider 4 but was given to us luckily.

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.

:yeahthat:

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.

[Shanti]

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.
