Graco My View 4-in-1 Bassinet, Infant to Toddler Bassinet with 4 Stages, Derby Review (2026)

The four stages explained

Graco builds the My View around four distinct configurations that change as a baby grows. Stage one is a raised bassinet positioned at adult eye level, meant for newborn use so a parent can check on the baby without fully getting out of bed. Stage two lowers to a crib-level bassinet for an older infant, making it easier to lift the baby in and out once they are heavier. Stage three turns into a removable infant travel bassinet that can be carried to another room or used away from home. Stage four opens into a more spacious bassinet sized for a toddler who has outgrown the earlier stages but still uses the same base.

Weight and age limits by stage

Each stage carries its own weight guidance from Graco. The newborn and travel bassinet stages are meant for infants under 15 pounds, while the infant bassinet stage extends up to 20 pounds. The final spacious toddler stage is meant for a child who cannot yet climb out and is under 35 inches tall, rather than being tied to a specific weight figure. Parents should move a baby to the next stage, or out of the bassinet entirely and into a crib, once they approach these limits or show signs of pushing up, rolling, or attempting to climb, since bassinets are not built for an increasingly mobile baby.

Portability features

Integrated wheels let the bassinet move between rooms without needing to be lifted, which is useful for shifting it from a bedroom to a living room during the day. A compact fold is built in for times when the bassinet needs to be packed away or brought along on a trip, and Graco includes a carry bag for that travel use. A canopy with attached soft toys is meant to shield the baby from light and add a soothing visual element, while mesh panels on the sides are designed to keep airflow moving through the sleeping space and let a parent see in from any angle.

Where it differs from a bedside sleeper

Unlike a bassinet built specifically to attach to the side of an adult bed with a lowered wall for reaching over, the My View is a standalone unit that sits beside the bed rather than connecting to it. That means there is no flush attachment to a mattress edge, so a parent still needs to fully sit up and reach over the bassinet's side to lift the baby out, rather than sliding them across a shared surface. The four-stage design also gives it a larger overall footprint than a slim, single-purpose bedside bassinet, which matters in a small bedroom where floor space next to the bed is limited.

Who this bassinet suits

Families who want one piece of gear that lasts from the newborn stage into toddlerhood, rather than buying a bedside sleeper and then a separate toddler bed or floor bassinet later, get real value from the four-stage design here. The wheels and fold also help in a small home where the bassinet needs to move between rooms during the day. Parents specifically wanting an attach-to-bed sleeper for reaching over without standing up, or those with very limited bedroom floor space who need the smallest possible footprint, should compare this against a dedicated bedside-attachment bassinet instead.
