We loved using the city mini bassinet for our baby and got so much use out of it. We started using it as soon as we got home from the hospital, and took her for many walks in it. It is padded with foam and our baby slept very comfortably in there during walks. It easily disconnects from the stroller base, and is not too heavy. I used bassinet sheets to line it, they fit perfectly and made it easy to clean. The mosquito net that it comes with was also excellent for blocking out sun and anything from blowing into the bassinet. We used it until she was about 3 1/2 months old...because she was so tall and grew out of it. I would have kept using it otherwise.

Our son has riden comfortably (or slept through) long and fairly bumpy gravel trail and urban sidewalk strolls during the past few early spring days. The padding and overall construction are of very high quality.

A few small downsides: One awkward feature is that raising the canopy requires pushing two stiff buttons on opposite sides of the bassinet at the same time, and is difficult. Another is the very stiff and poorly placed snaps to remove the cover (and insert baby). The assembly instructions included... Read more

I held off on buying this because of the price but wish I would have bought it sooner. It fits the city mini perfectly and it comes with the car seat adapter too. My baby really relaxes and takes nice naps while we walk.
