We’ve done our research to bring you only the best! But before we get started, here are some things you should know about before you shop!
Mattress: Does it come with a mattress or mattress pad? Since bassinets are for younger infants, they usually don’t come with mattresses, but they have thin mattress pads to keep your child comfortable while they sleep.
Stand: The stand will allow the bassinet to stand on its own without having to be placed on another surface or laid on the floor. You can assemble the stand and set the bassinet up for a comfortable sleeping space.
Age Range: This is the range of ages that can safely use the bassinet. Usually, this means that it isn’t safe for the child after they reach the maximum age or the weight limit, whichever comes first.
Weight Limit: This is the maximum weight that can safely occupy the bassinet. This should be observed as a limit before age, so if your child reaches this weight you should discontinue use even before the age range ends.
Size: The dimensions of the bed are important in case your child is longer than average – this will tell you how long the bassinet is as well as how much space it’s going to take up in your home.
Mesh sides: The mesh sides on a bassinet will allow you to see your child and your child to see you. It also makes sure that there’s plenty of airflow in the bed, keeping it comfortable for your baby.
