There are many options for bassinets that serve one or more functions. Bassinet stroller combinations are popular and very practical. Convertible bassinets also have gained approval by parents. Your choice will depend upon your lifestyle and needs. We have reviewed two multitasking bassinet combos to help make the choice easier.
Stroller Bassinet Review
A bassinet stroller is an old concept taken to a new level. At one time every baby needed a “pram” which was a bassinet on wheels intended for out of the home use. Now though, the definition and use of these marvelous bassinet systems has expanded far beyond the mere rolling bassinets.
Some bassinet stroller combos have true stand alone bassinets included with a base not intended for moving as well as a stroller base. Gone are the days of one purpose bassinet strollers such as the pram and in comes the bassinet system.
A popular choice for many parents is the stroller bassinet system which include an infant car seat, a stand alone bassinet, a stroller base and many more options. Each of these pieces can be used alone or combined to for mobility.
You may find there are benefits to a stroller bassinet system aside from convenience and mobility because purchasing these stroller bassinet systems can cost less than purchasing each piece that serves only one function.
Convertible Bassinet Reviews
A stroller bassinet system might be considered a convertible bassinet but in actuality the term is far broader as well. For instance there are travel bassinets and standard convertible bassinets that convert to play yards or changing tables or even both.
Convertible bassinets are ideal when space, weight, and bassinet longevity are a concern. A convertible bassinet takes far less space than two pieces of nursery furniture such as a changing table and bassinet. Traveling with a convertible bassinet is a great deal easier as combined they weigh less than the two pieces alone would. As far as longevity, a convertible bassinet will normally extend the usable life of a bassinet beyond the first few months. A newborn will outgrow the bassinet soon enough but a convertible bassinet that also does duty as a play yard or a changing table will continue to be useful.
There are many choices in what your convertible baby bassinet will convert to and some designers have up to a 4 in 1 convertible bassinet. You can choose the perfect convertible bassinet combo for your family based on your needs and your budget.
