• Baby bassinets

• Portable bassinets

• Folding bassinets

Choosing the Right Bassinet or Cradle

When shopping for a bassinet or cradle, consider:

• Baby’s age and weight
• Product dimensions
• Available room space
• Mattress size and fit
• Stability and construction
• Portability
• Folding or storage features
• Ease of cleaning
• Manufacturer age and weight limits
• Safe-sleep recommendations

Choose a product that provides a firm, flat sleeping surface and is suitable for your baby’s current stage.

Bassinets for Small Spaces & Bedside Use

Bassinets are often smaller than standard cots and cribs, making them a practical option for bedrooms and compact nurseries. Some designs can be positioned near a parent’s bed, which may make nighttime feeding and checking on a newborn more convenient.

Always use the bassinet according to the manufacturer’s instructions and keep the sleep area free from unnecessary loose items.

Cradles & Rocking Sleep Spaces

Some cradles include a gentle rocking function that parents can use to soothe a baby before sleep. If the product has a rocking or locking mechanism, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and ensure the cradle is stable before leaving the baby to sleep.

Avoid adding pillows, loose blankets, toys or other bulky items to an infant sleep space.

When to Move from a Bassinet to a Cot

Bassinets and cradles are generally intended for younger babies and have specific age, weight or developmental limits. A baby may need to move to a larger cot or crib once they reach the product limit or begin showing increased mobility.

Always follow the manufacturer’s stated limits rather than relying on age alone.
