Evenflo Cora 3-Level Adjustable Bassinet (Coastal Coffee)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [I received this product for free from the stellar product testing panel for my honest review of this product.] Absolutely love this bassinet. As a mom of 5 I wish this bassinet was made 5 kids ago. I have never found one that I want to keep using with each kid until now on my last kid. I love that the bed is breathable as it gives me peace of mind. It’s also very convenient that you can use this up to 12 months with the 3 different modes. I will say the only thing I’m disappointed in is once my baby is big enough for the third setting I cannot use the sound and light bar anymore which is just chefs kiss with soothing my baby. I work from home so being able to control the light bar with my phone is ideal. The set up was fairly easy and it looks so sleek.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. I love how easy it was to setup this bassinet, especially with the chaos that comes with having a newborn. My baby has taken to the SensorySoothe technology very well and seems to really enjoy that feature. It’s so easy to quickly accumulate baby items, only for them to quickly grow out of them and then needing something else. I love that this bassinet is designed to span a full year, which is super thoughtful and helpful. The mattress level adjustment ability is fantastic, especially as we’re looking into changing out our own mattress at this time. I love that we can keep our baby bedside for longer with this product, with her still having her own space! The overall look is great! Would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with this bassinet, and the longevity of use it will provide for our family. My son is 2 months old and still using the highest level of the bassinet, and the height is very comfortable to set him in and easily pick him up from standing, and also to soothe him without having to uncomfortably bend over. We’ll need to keep him in our room for an extended period of time (he’ll eventually room share with his 2 year old sister), and this is such a great design to be able to adjust the height for him to use for months to come. Another great feature is the washable sleeping pad, as well as the built in sound machine which we use often. The soothing light bar has also been nice when I need to lay him down awake to get some things done and keeps him content for a while. I really appreciate the aesthetics of the bassinet, as it blends in well with our bedroom design and is actually nice to look at! Our bedroom is pretty small, and the bassinet also has a small footprint, although the sleeping space does not feel small. Great quality and great design all around. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, from whom I received this product.

The absolute perfect bassinet for us! With the three adjustable levels - I love that this will get our daughter through the first year! I’m obsessed with look, sizes, sound options and the ease of putting it together. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase!

mesh is not very breathable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet. Overall, this is a high-quality product with some standout features, along with a few areas that could definitely be improved. Starting with the build: the instructions were mostly easy to follow, but the very first step referenced a part labeled with a letter—and oddly, it was the only part labeled that way. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out a lettering system that didn’t actually exist. Once I got past that initial confusion, assembly was straightforward. When fully put together, the bassinet felt extremely sturdy. I could lean on it without it shifting or tipping at all, which is especially important during those 3a.m. feedings when you’re half asleep and need something to lean on—figuratively and literally. Design-wise, this bassinet is sleek and modern. It blends beautifully into any space and doesn’t have the bulky or cheap feel that many baby products tend to have. We previously owned another bassinet that felt poorly made, with crinkly foam lining the edges and cardboard lined mattress that started to sha after a few weeks. In contrast, the Cora bassinet is completely silent and clearly designed with both aesthetics and function in mind. I also really appreciate the mattress design. It’s both washable and breathable, which is a huge plus for peace of mind and ease of use. The overall bassinet feels very safe and well thought out, and those features make a big difference when you’re a new parent. One of the standout features is its longevity. It can be used for up to 12 months, which is longer than most bassinets. This is a big plus for us since we have a larger baby. I also appreciate the adjustable height—it allows easy access now and can be lowered as my baby grows. However, I was surprised that the light bar does not function on the lowest setting. This feels like a missed opportunity, as older babies might benefit from that feature more. As for the downsides, the technology was the most disappointing aspect. The light bar and sound features were not soothing for my child. Even on the lowest setting, the light was too bright and often startled him awake rather than calming him. The app connectivity was also inconsistent—it frequently disconnected, requiring me to manually press buttons on the bassinet to reconnect. This defeats the purpose of having app control, especially in the middle of the night. When using the controls directly on the bassinet, everything defaults to higher light and sound settings, which again were too intense for our needs. Considering that the technology is a major factor in the price, this was a letdown. If I were purchasing this myself, I’d hesitate at the price point given the current tech performance. That said, the bassinet itself is well-made and durable, with great potential. With some improvements to the app, dimmer lighting, and enhanced sound options, this could easily be an A+ product. For future updates, I would love to see features like gentle vibration or motion, a heartbeat sound option, and a more robust sound library. We ended up using a separate sound machine because the included options were too limited, and a heartbeat sound is what works best for our baby.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’d describe the Cora bassinet as more of a mini crib thanks to its versatile 3-in-1 design. The three mattress levels are actually very usable, especially compared to other bassinets. I love that it can still be used even once a baby can sit up, which makes it feel like a much longer-term investment. Being able to safely keep my baby bedside for that extended period is a huge plus. The SensorySoothe technology really stands out. Being able to control it from my phone, the bassinet, or by voice is super convenient, and the lights and sounds helped both soothe, entertain and distract my baby. Adjusting the mattress height took a little getting used to since you have to reach further underneath, but it’s manageable. The washable mattress is a great feature and fits easily in the washer. Design-wise, it’s beautiful, modern and clean with the white and wood. The only downside is the bright white fabric shows stains easily. All sides being white mesh and not able to take off to wash, only wipe down, I’m not sure how long it will look so bright white. Overall, we love it and plan to use it throughout our baby’s first year. It’s a great option if you want something longer-lasting than a traditional bassinet with light/sound soothing and distracting for baby. This product was provided to me by Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’m so happy I did! It was honestly a breeze to assemble (I did it while my husband was at work and normally that doesn’t always go well for me, lol). Its aesthetic and neutral colors go well in any room and look much more elevated than other bassinets I was considering. My baby is only 3 months, but I love that it will continue to grow with her until she’s a year since we want to keep her in our room. I wish it was a bit more lightweight in design so it could be moved around more easily and I wish the mattress was a tad bit thicker for comfort. My baby loves music so I’ve appreciated the sensory soothe technology and used it even when she’s not sleeping just to keep her entertained! Overall I’m very happy with this bassinet and would recommend to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My issue with this bassinet compared to much cheaper bassinets is that you cannot see through the netting. I absolutely need to be able to lay down in bed and have bassinet a little higher and be able to see through it to keep an eye on her as a fresh newborn. Also app is little hard to use but I do love the music, the lights, the size of the bassinet but I think through the newborn stage I will be buying one where I can constantly see my daughter and will use this one when she gets a little older. So I do not recommend for newborns but maybe for 6 months plus.

Box came open completely as if someone opened it
