If you want your newborn as close to you as humanly possible—yet still safely on a separate sleep surface—you’ll love this good-looking bedside bassinet. Its Z-shaped frame and wheels allow parents to roll the base right up under the bed or over to the couch. It has five adjustable height positions for a close-to-mom fit (up to 41.5 inches high) during late-night feedings.
Convenient safety features include a one-inch mattress and crib sheet, mesh sides, locking wheels and end-panel storage pockets for things like diapers, wipes, pacifiers and burp cloths. It is JPMA certified, meaning it exceeds government-mandated standards. The manufacturer says it’s recommended for babies up to 15 pounds, so if you just want something for the first few months before transitioning to a crib, this bassinet will work well unless you have a big or extra active baby.
