Loved this s! So convenient for keeping baby next to my bed for the first 6 weeks or so. Portable, durable. Baby liked vibrating and water sounds. I liked night light for checking on babe in the middle on the night without waking anyone else(baby or hubby). I wash everything for baby as well, but never found it necessary to wash the skirt or canopy. They do t get dirty and baby doesn't touch them....but the cover for the pad baby sleeps on in the bassinet IS removeable and I took that off to wash it many times. Overall, great, safe product and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
