Good points

Good Points

  • Can be fitted inside most regular-sized cots to ease transition.
  • Swinging motion.
  • Foldable.
  • Ability to set the head end higher than the foot end, to help with reflux.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Serious safety failure: The bassinet does not have any breathable zones, a suffocation risk if baby rolls face first into the sides.
  • Minor safety failure: The bassinet is slightly shallower than 250mm, but this is only a minor fall risk.The manufacturer says a more breathable 'aircell' fabric is available but we've not tested it.
