Bought it for my 3rd child since my elder kids always sleep with me in my bed when they were a baby. It is easier for me to sleep with the baby for breastfeeding especially in winter :) so they didn't really use their own crib and we thought it will be safer to buy this side sleeper when my 3rd baby is born.

It is light weight and easy to move it around your home or even take it to travel. Also, it is waterproof and easy to clean. My baby always sleep their during day time.

However, I didn't use it at night or put it on my bed just because I am too lazy to take the baby out from it to breastfeeding. If I do that, it will be same as using crib.

If only using the day time, you may also want to buy the stand, so that the baby won't sleep too close to the floor.

We had a full sized Bassinet for our now 3 month old, and she hated it. A friend recommended trying the Summer Infant Buy You Side Sleeper, so we bought one. My daughter LOVES it, I think the fact that it's smaller makes her feel more cozy, comfortable & secure. It's also great for using in our small bedroom, now we have room to move around without the big bulkiness of a full sized bassinet. It's great for co-sleeping or for just placing on the floor so you can keep your baby close. I highly recommend this sleeper to any and all new parents!
