Evenflo Cora 3-Level Adjustable Bassinet (Coastal Coffee)

LOVED this bassinet … until I needed to wash the mattress pad. It's very frustrating that evenflo doesn't sell bassinet sheets for the pad and then when I washed it the pad inside got all bunched up and I couldn't get it to fix itself, needed to cut the back of it open to fix. This is unacceptable. Evenflo needs to fix this and it's causing a safety hazard!

Box came open completely as if someone opened it

I love this bassinet and my baby does too however yesterday we discovered a major flaw. When washing the mattress folloeing the instructions the foam inside bunched up terribly. We tried everything to flatten it but ended up having to cut a slit in the non removable cover to attemp to return it to its original shape and it's still not completely flat. I was hoping to be able to replace the mattress but it's not being sold as a separate part

Bought this in June for a shower gift for my son and daughter-n-law. They have used for 2 1/2 months. When removing the mattress pad to clean they found black mold growing. Do not purchase, they sale no replacement for the mattress on their website. Unfortunately, the purchase date was months before they used the bassinet so was told they could not refund.

mesh is not very breathable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of two kids under two, I tend to read online reviews before purchasing a product to ensure I am making the right call, so I'm happy to provide honest feedback on this product to assist families in making a decision when purchasing a bassinet. This 3-in-1 bassinet makes the transition from newborn, to infant, to growing baby a breeze as the level is easily adjusted by pulling two rings underneath the mattress, pushing down, and waiting to hear the "click". Being a busy mom, the process of transitioning from one level to the next took me less than thirty seconds to achieve, which I saw as a huge perk of this bassinet. As a breastfeeding mom, the ability to keep my baby bedside for the first year of her life is amazing, as I can respond quickly to my babies needs without having to leave my bedroom. The white noise of the SensorySoothe technology was my baby's favorite and often helps to soothe her in the middle of the night. I also love the amber light on the bassinet, as it was not too intruding in the middle of the night when I needed to see around my room to respond to my babies needs. The ability to throw the mattress into the washer instead of trying to figure out how to clean/dry it before the next use was a life saver as my baby has acid reflux and is constantly spitting up throughout the night. The last thing I found wonderful about this bassinet is the neutrality of the colors. It can virtually fit in any room without being intrusive and matches most colors. The only disadvantage to the bassinet is that the legs stick out and is a bit bigger, so fitting bedside takes up more space than anticipated. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality product with NEAR perfect features! From the start, setup is genuinely among the easiest I’ve encountered for any baby product with components that are thoughtfully designed and the assembly process is intuitive from start to finish without needing to continually reference instructions. Total assembly in under 10 min once unboxed. The base feels exceptionally solid and well-grounded, which matters a lot when you’re trusting something to hold your baby or toddler through the night. Height adjustments between all three levels are smooth and satisfying, with a simple cord pull and a haptic "click" confirming the position is locked in without question. A small but well executed detail. The sound and light features are a nice addition and work as expected, though the tower that houses them feels somewhat flimsier at its attachment point compared to the rest of the product, which is otherwise very sturdy. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s a contrast worth noting given how solid everything else feels. The mattress is fully removable and machine washable, which is exactly what you want in a bassinet for unpredictable children! One potential limitation would be the side mesh, which does not appear to be removable, so it would be spot clean only. Depending on how frequently you would need to clean it, that could be a consideration, though for routine use it’s manageable and overall similar to many products in the same category. Overall a well-designed bassinet that checks nearly all of the important boxes, with only minor misses on the tower attachment and mesh cleaning access. The aesthetic would fit in any home, regardless of surroundings and has nice neutral color palette for a wide range of locations. Overall for the price, quality, and longevity, an exceptional product that I would definitely recommend to friends or family! 4 stars only because of the minor misses discussed above. I received this bassinet from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[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.] 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.
