Which I did not pay $70 for! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653222 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:32:16 +0000 lamariniere 2653222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of my friends are married to Finns and had their babies sleep in the actual Finnish baby box. The idea is so neat (especially all the stuff they provide!) but I would not personally spend $70 on a cardboard box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653221 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:30:47 +0000 looch 2653221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could see it being a total success because of those "hipsters" out there...all that company needs is one blogger to jump on it and then it will be sold out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653219 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:29:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2653219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't Sweden give every newborn a box to sleep in? I don't think it's that weird. People have put newborns in dresser drawers. I like the modern design, but would probably not buy it since it is not elevated off the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653217 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:28:00 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2653217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a $70 cardboard box...so no :silly: </p> <p>Plus what others have said about c-section/access to baby and curious pets. I mean if it were free then sure I'd take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653206 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:09:27 +0000 psw27 2653206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ha. I mean, I have to give it to them for trying to make money. It is literally a glorified bankers box that we use to hold files at work... right down to how you "assemble" it. LOL I think I'll stick with my usual bassinet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653192 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 14:52:20 +0000 LibbyLou 2653192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: lol!! I know I thought the same thing about the inside and gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653165 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 14:16:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2653165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That website is hilarious. "Calming interior design" = no patterns inside the box. "Gender neutral modern design" = green. "Stackable" = Bunk beds if you have twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653156 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 14:06:46 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2653156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my biggest concern would be pets. All of the families I know with pets (myself included) felt that being elevated/away from the animals was important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653150 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:54:42 +0000 catlady 2653150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't imagine that this company will succeed. A $70 cardboard box to put your baby in? I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons that the Finnish box is cardboard is that it is provided for free to Finnish moms. It also comes with a ton of other stuff (clothes, etc), and is actually used as a container for those items.</p> <p>I don't really see this type of thing catching on in the US unless our own government starts providing them to pregnant moms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653144 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:50:04 +0000 ShootingStar 2653144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LibbyLou: I'd be like super paranoid that I'd step on her. Plus the dog would sniffing her and trying to lick her spit up, which grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653141 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:48:48 +0000 LibbyLou 2653141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: lol I know! I get the transition the the crib part in the box but a baby in a box seems like a wild idea. But what do we know- our kids may put their kids in boxes and say yeah when I was a baby I was in a CRIB! ALONE! Like we do with seatbelts now. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653139 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:48:06 +0000 LibbyLou 2653139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: oh good point about c section. The price point makes it a good shower gift but I knew there had to be some issues with it. Also I thought the sides weren't see-thru which could (?) be an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653129 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:39:00 +0000 ShootingStar 2653129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems super weird. I can't imagine wanting to put my baby in a box on the floor, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653126 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:36:58 +0000 Mrsbells 2653126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LibbyLou: I personally dont like it because it doesnt seem practical. Also as a c-section mom I need a bassinet thats elevated to minimize bending down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smitten-bassinet#post-2653073 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:49:33 +0000 LibbyLou 2653073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Entered a give-away yesterday and saw this "next level bassinet". The idea seems simple/smart to me but wondering how different in theory vs real life this product is. I believe it was modeled after the Finland box articles that makes it's rounds every so often. Mom of newborns what do you think? Good idea or weird to keep your baby in a box? :silly: </p> <p><a href="http://www.pipandgrow.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pipandgrow.com</a> </p>
