Dude.. Respect for this review. Me and my girlfriend have a baby on the way and had found this product online but weren't sure if it would be as useful as it seemed. Really appreciate your thorough review, we're going to pick one up now 👊🏼👍🏼
Really glad it helped mate. We were in the same situation. Found some videos but didn’t really answer everything so hopefully this fills in the gaps for you and everyone else 👌🏻
I bought a 2nd hand one (hardly used) for my daughter-in-law and son when they had twins. It is a fab bit of kit! I wish they had been around when mine were little! I'd say ditch buying a moses basket and get one of these. Moses baskets last far less time and only do one thing. This is ideal for Mums who have had surgery, as baby can be wheeled around with Mum and can be lowered to a manageable height, say you are sitting on the sofa. I bought the crib mattress and meal kit too, so it can be used for quite some time. I wouldn't say the foot print is too big, compared with the average moses stand, and those are not easily moved around so the fact that you can wheel this out of the way, is perfect!
I'd totally agree with you Michelle to be honest. Especially with the comparison of a moses basket. This is still being used now and our little one is nearly 2. It's going to be a sad day when we can no longer use it!
I’ve just bought one of these for my first grandchild. Ironically to keep her safe & out of sniffing/licking range of Frank & Flo….my Frenchies! Baby isn’t due for a few months, but I already think this is going to be worth every penny. Especially for me as I have a chronic pain condition & don’t bend very well.
Haha that’s great! We love frenchies. This will be great for you then. We’re still using ours now as the high chair so worth every penny. Good luck with everything ☺️
Big thanks from germany. I'm looking for weeks for something stable and long term use...was not sure about this 4 in1 thing but thanks to you I want to believe this is an honest review and i put my trust in this. Thanks!
Hey Braenn thank you for the great comment and really glad you liked the review. Yes the opinion I share is genuine and we’re still using the 4 in 1 today as his high chair. It’s been one of the best investments we made to date. As I mention in the review, it does have a big footprint but it’s multi purpose use means you’re saving space elsewhere
Great review. Our little one is now 1 yr old and we got a changing table attachment which we used when he was around 6 months as I have a bad back as you can adjust the height. I would sit on the sofa and change his nappy, it was only 20quid which was more affordable for us in our tiny flat. And the high chair table and have used this loads since we weaned him.
Thanks for the review! Is the bassinet option safe for sleeping? The new version is called Air and it looks like the new one meets the standards for ventilation necessary for a new born. I see that a lot of next to me bassinets also do not have an air option and people use them for day and night sleep…
Hey, good question. So with the specific model we have which we have the little mattress for too it said it’s ok for day time sleeping but not night time. We did only ever use it for day time naps too as we had a bedside crib for night time. We always followed the guidance when ever possible with that sort of thing as you just never know. Hope that helps.
I bought it this one and just now my husband installed but how I'm gonna use for my newborn those seat belts are not safe for a newborn. She just needs to lay flat. Did you get separate mattress for it?
Yea for a newborn it’s best to get a mattress. The one it comes with is pretty thin but you can get one specifically from them for this. But really any will do. We never strapped our baby in to it. Only when he got older and used as a high chair, that’s when we started using the straps.
Hi there, great review 🙂- looking at this instead of a Moses basket and side sleeper but from what I’m looking it won’t be easy to move for daytime use in the living room to nighttime use upstairs?
Hey, thanks. No it’s definitely not something you want to have to move up and down stairs everyday. It’s fine to wheel in to a different room but you’d give up after one day trying carry up a flight of stairs! Sorry. Hope that helps though.
Hey thanks. I don’t believe it’s recommended for night time. There may be a different model available now that is suited for that but I know that this one specifically wasn’t recommended for it.
Great review. What do you think of the mattress? Is it too thin and soft and saggy? I just worried about the back support as usually the experts recommend to use a firm mattress with certain thickness for newborn. Did you take the belts out before putting the mattress? Or just on top of the belts?
Hey Cheinyoong thanks for the comment. Yes the little mattress piece that comes with it is SUPER thin and flimsy, it’s ok for when they’re older and sitting in it as a high chair but not when they are newborn. We got an additional mattress for it when we bought it. That was a better and thicker mattress for baby to lay on. We also used added a blanket in there too so baby was comfortable. That additional mattress sat on top of the thin mattress and belts and was firm enough that baby couldn’t feel the belts underneath. Hope that helps 😄
Fully raised the top rim is 93cm from the ground. Then the basket is 23ish cm deep so I’d say baby would be well out of reach. Obviously the toddlers can grab the side but probably less of a concern. Hope that helps ☺️
😂 I like to think it’s more about allocation of capital. If I spent money Willy nilly on everything I wouldn’t have been able to afford something like this, which in case the video didn’t get across, is a great investment. 👌🏻
Hey Valentina, thanks for the question. He only slept in there for day time naps as this was downstairs in our living room. We always used a crib in our bedroom next to us for night time sleeping. Hope that helps.
Hello, thanks for the video, maybe you can help me with this: In highchair mode, does the leg support support stays in place and how? Mine is moving up and down, I can't figure it out . Thanks
Hey Emm. Hmm sounds a bit odd. So I’m order to adjust the height up and down you have to press the big button type thing on the base with your foot right? On mine it will only move up and down so long as i keep my foot pressing the button. As soon as I take my foot off the button the adjustable arm locks in place. Is that not the case with yours? Sounds like it could be a fault? Or maybe the button is jammed down? When I press the button with my foot it definitely requires a little bit of force before it ‘clicks’ loose. If not it may be worth contacting the manufacturer. Hope that helps
@@harrisonmudge hi, thanks for your answer but I meant the part where baby put his legs , the leg support from the bottom of the crib but it's ok it doesn't seem it can be stay fix properly
@@emmj.m.c.1310 sorry for the miss understanding. On ours when you make it a highchair that part folds under but is locked in place as it’s part of the upper rim (when in crib mode) It’s not moveable other than when you switch between modes?
@@harrisonmudge alright thank you, yes I looked it to the bar under, I just found it could be firmer but no biggy, it's still a great purchase. Thank you for your time , much appreciated 🙂
Actually i have bought for me baby. And i fix it all. But the problem is that the foot pedal is not working. What shall i do now? Please reply me. Kindly
Hey Aqsa sorry to hear that. If the pedal isn’t working it sounds like a problem with the product. It would be best if you contacted the manufacturer or seller and see if you can get it fixed or replaced
Hey ghaslim thanks for the question. I would say it depends on the size of the baby. When Elliott was young we used a Sleepyhead type thing to prevent any of that so he wouldn’t roll so it’s hard to say if your baby would or wouldn’t roll. But it’s always best to keep them in sight if you’re not going to use anything like that. Hope that helps
In the UK it is normally pronounced 'chicco' never heard it pronounced 'kikko' before. Maybe over time it may change like the pronounciation of 'Nestles' to 'Nestlay' and 'Jané pronounced 'Han-nay'
@@harrisonmudge You can't imagine how many english words we pronounce wrong in Italy, so not problem. Anyway, you made me buy 4in1 baby hug crib, your american review is better than the others italians review 😅
@@SqueezeItSoHard awesome! Glad I could help you make a decision. It’s hard sometimes to know if things are worth the investment but the 4in1 crib is still getting used today so it will last a good while. Yeah it’s funny how fast pronunciation gets lost. I have a Spanish friend and he’s always correcting me when I pronounce the L’s in paella 😂
Great question. It can stop in any position. You just press down on the foot pedal to release what ever locks it in place then pull or push the crib to your desired height. Hope that helps 😁
Yeah we’ve been using it literally every day since we got it and it’s definitely more than paid for its self. And the adjustable height is super helpful, especially in the early days when you want to have it beside the sofa for example
We have bought this and in order to use this as a bedside crib the directions say to remove the straps. Are you able to provide any guidance on how to do this? We can’t seem to unclip the fabric from the base as the clips are so stiff. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Jessica. Hmm hard to say without seeing / showing which clips but if we’re talking about the same ones they’re a little confusing but when you know how they’re actually not hard. If it is the same clips, there’s a tab on the clip that you’ll need to press with one hand and pull the clip off with the other. Counter to what you may think, the clip unhooks by pulling in the direction towards the base. Does that help or am I completely missing the mark and looking at the wrong clips? 😅
Amazing 🤩 thank you so much. We were doing it the wrong way and I was scared to break it. Did you remove the belts or just place the mattress on top? We have the thicker mattress as in your review. Thanks again

It does detach from the base - if you unzip the top zips BTW!

Thank you, that’s exactly what I was looking for! Although, I’m watching this video after having bought this piece already but now I’m so reassured!
Awesome! Yeah it’s been a great investment for us that’s for sure, hopefully you get the same use out of it as us

Great Review! I'm from Brazil and this product arrived here about a year. The Wheels are good? I mean, strong enough?
Hey 👋🏻 yes we’ve had no issues with them and we’re still using it to this day so I think you’ll have no issues 👌🏻

Thanks for the review! Would you say it is a good option for a night sleep too? When the crib is near the bed
Hey thanks. I don’t believe it’s recommended for night time. There may be a different model available now that is suited for that but I know that this one specifically wasn’t recommended for it.
Is it suitable for a rolling baby to sleep?
Yeah they would be fine to nap in, no problem. It’s not recommended you let them sleep in it overnight though

@@harrisonmudge Hi! the additional mattress you added which is on the video is still from Chicco? or another brand?
@@cjmac4090 hey, I believe it was a Chico mattress. We got it at the same time as buying the crib and it came as a bundle
How high would you say it is from the ground? Considering one to keep a new baby out of reach of two toddlers
Fully raised the top rim is 93cm from the ground.
Then the basket is 23ish cm deep so I’d say baby would be well out of reach.
Obviously the toddlers can grab the side but probably less of a concern.
Hope that helps ☺️
@@harrisonmudge that’s great thank you!
@@katiewilson7606 no problem. Glad to help.
I saw online that it has fixed belt. Can the belt be removed for when the baby is sleeping?
The straps are removable yes. Probably not something you’d want to do all the time as a bit fiddly but yes they can be removed
My God he's a typical man, 'I don't want to have to spend ANY money if I don't have to' 😂😂😂

@@harrisonmudge Lol... will forgive you as this response makes logical sense... 😀. You redeemed yourself .lol
😅 phew!
For how long your baby used to sleep in at night? When did you transition in a crib? Thanks
Hey Valentina, thanks for the question. He only slept in there for day time naps as this was downstairs in our living room. We always used a crib in our bedroom next to us for night time sleeping.
