Good points
• The feet bars can be repositioned to enable sideways rocking.
• Foldable and has a carry bag.
• Insect cover.
Bad points
• Serious safety failure: The supplied mattress is insufficiently firm at areas where the covering is puffed near the ends and at the sides. Slight sagging of the mattress base support was also observed.
• The manufacturer, Baby Bunting, says it disagrees with CHOICE's findings and has "not received any incident reports or customer complaints" in relation to the issues CHOICE found since the bassinet was released. It has supplied us with independent test reports stating the product complies with American and European bassinet standards, as well as breathability and firmness tests. CHOICE stands by its results.

Based on our safety performance test. Recommended models meet all key safety requirements and score at least 80% for performance. Some lower-scoring models (60-65%) may still be worth considering if they meet all key safety requirements, but fail on minor points such as finger entrapment.
