So disappointed in this bassinet! It's not level as has a slant, we've used it for 8 weeks and found mould on the wooden slat underneath. Mattress is the thinnest peace of foam possible! Already has a head dint in the foam. Also non of the sheets fit correctly for the mattress, always bends and is never flat.
Safe, Super practical and great size! – Unlike many reviews here, there is NO SLANT towards the bed (side to side), if there is it’s incorrectly set up… babies wriggle towards their mum as they can smell them/milk. It’s the most natural thing ever. Once they’re rolling they shouldn’t be swaddled. Nothing to do with the co sleeper. There is however a very slight slant lengthways (from… Read more
top to bottom) to help with decreasing reflux/colic and allowing mucous to descend properly if or when sick. Another great positive. It’s one of the largest co sleepers I could find which meant having my baby with me for longer (7.5 months) which I loved and was convenient for night time feeds not having to leave the bed. We both slept super well! Breathable mesh along both sides great for ventilation in summer too and all material zips easily to wash. Mattress yes is thin a bit flimsy but this is what makes it SIDS safe, anything too thick and soft becomes more like a pillow and then becomes a hazzard. I simply used a warm blanket as a flat sheet tucked under the mattress instead of a fitted sheet and worked perfectly. Used for two babies and will use again. Highly recommend.
Dangerous! – DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Like others, we found that the base slants towards the bed, resulting in an infant with her face pressed up against the wall of the co sleeper. However, below is a list of other serious issues: - mattress is flimsy and edges pull up with a fitted sheet so that it is no longer SID safe - the horizontal metal bar along the… Read more
side that lowers is at such a height that when the baby had slid to that side in her sleep, her head was wedged between the mattress and the metal bar - worst of all, as my baby has learned to roll onto her tummy, I just found her on her tummy, head up, chewing on the metal bar edge, then within a split second she had pushed her head up and her chin over the metal bar just as her arms gave way, resulting in her choking herself. If I had not been in the room, I'm terrified to think what may have happened.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I'll be reporting the product to the ACCC to try to have it banned/recalled.
Its okay if not limited on space – Firstly there are some reviews about it being slanted which isn't if you adjust it properly, I did this even without instructions or help as it's a hand me down, my brother just dropped it off and disappeared!! Only thing for me is I am limited with space and didn't really intend to use it like a co sleeper however I can see its good for that just… Read more
not for me past the turning stage so a smaller one would have worked for me as well as I will move bub into a cot once she is turning. 2nd con for me personally is that I can't easily wheel it or move it around, where are the wheels? As I'm limited on space and have drawers below my bed this would have been so helpful for me especially after birth, when you're too sore to pick things up to move them. Last negative for this is the base/legs, my whole household has stub our toes on it so many times that I'm about to permanently glue on some pool noodles or something on them! Other than little things that are probably more personal for me I think it's good value and good that it changes height as well.
Fantastic !! Have used it now with 2 babies about to use it with the 3rd – Fantastic !! Have used it now with 2 babies about to use it with the 3rd. It's sturdy and easy to remove the cover to wash. It's flat not slanted , if you're having trouble with it slanted take the cover off and re position as they don't slant at all. Babies do shuffle to the side the mum is on because they can smell her scent . If it's not on or… Read more
zipped up properly it may slant so just re do. Not heavy which is fantastic as I move it around the house alot when I am on the lounge it comes with me .
Great and useful co-sleeper – We used this co-sleeper from the birth and until 7 months old when our baby was ready to move to a bigger bed. It has various options to adjust it with a level of your bed, sturdy, and good sized. We had no issues with the sheets and used a waterproof fitted sheet and the normal fitted sheet at all time. I will buy this product again if we decide… Read more
to go for a second child, as it was one of the most useful baby items we had over the last these 7 months.
Faulty product-slanted base – Was handed down from my SIL who used it for her two Bubs. Unfortunately my baby would roll to the side, as a week old I found him face against the side-thankfully I'm a paeds nurse so he was ok. I had him sleeping in a bundl wrap and the tilt would still roll him. My SIL then stated her babies used to roll to one side as well and it was in fact… Read more
uneven. I had to prop books under the outer legs to even the base so he wouldn't roll. Wouldn't recommend on this fault.
Yes - the base is slanted!! – I borrowed this off a friend, and agree with the reviews...the base is oddly slanted and my bub would always end up on one side, no matter what I tried. I would not recommend.
Perfect! – My baby has been using this since newborn and is 5 months old. NEVER had a problem.. see lots of reviews of baby going to side?? Baby will wriggle to side that’s against bed because they smell their mum?? Duh And also there is complete mesh on both sides that is COMPLETELY breathable. It’s the biggest cosleeper I’ve heard of and I have had complete peace of mind putting my bub in it. Absolutely will be keeping it for my next bub Show details
Works well – Not sure why would the others have bad experience. Mine was great. My little one stayed in it until 6 months.and mine was heavy, almost 9kgs. No issues at all. also if your baby starts rolling, that's the sign for you to transfer them to a proper cot. Show details
Glad I purchased it before I read bad reviews – I thought the co-sleeper might be not so good given it was just $100 with a discount but i decided to give it a go because it was so cheap and i could get rid of it without regrets. Using it since June, my baby is almost 7 months and still using it. (It's time to upgrade to a bigger bed though).We did not have any issues with it, like some ppl… Read more
wrote their babies rolled to a side. Our bassinet surface is perfectly horizontal without slopes. Also no issues with finding a fitted sheet just because I use a flat one and tuck it under the mattress-works perfectly well. There are also straps included-to fix crib to the adult bed but we never used them as the bassinet is sturdy enough. Ppl who complained about flat head of their babies-it is recommended to give a baby plenty of tummy time and not to keep them 24/7 in bed on their back.
DANGEROUS – This co-sleeper is dangerous and should not be sold. Like other reviews, the base is slanted and results in baby rolling to one side - my swaddled baby rolled onto her left side, which is so dangerous. The mattress is also very thin and you’re unable to tuck blankets or spew cloth into it. Show details
Flat head – The mattress is very thin, to the point it sunk in and kept my babies head to the right, causing my baby to get sever flat head. I turned the matteress and within days, the other side did it!!! Baby keeps falling to the side that nearest to my bed!!! Show details

My baby ends up on one side every night – I would not recommend this product to anyone. My baby gets placed in the middle at the bottom of the bed every night but always ends up being able to wriggle over to one side, I’m guessing because the bed is not balanced enough. It’s always the same side. It’s squeaky, and the mattress that it comes with is the flimsiest piece of foam you could buy. 10/10 would not recommend. Show details
Absolutely dangerous! – Brought 2020 for bubs born 4/2021used for 2 months bubs monitor kept alerting-kept finding her on her face or against the back, bassinet is not level! Angelcare monitor-lifesaver My baby cannot roll herself!!
Great co-sleeper – After purchasing I read quite a few negative reviews but I can't fault this product! I have used up until my LO was 4 months old and had NO issues what so ever. Sturdy and good for cost, it was on sale for I think about $180. Show details
Wouldn’t buy again - don’t recommend – I had this co-sleeper with my first baby in 2018 and couldn’t wait to get rid of it. Baby would roll into the side of the co-sleeper in to non-breathable material and it was very scary but thankfully my baby favoured the other side of her head so didn’t have face against it. Coincidentally shortly before I purchased this a bunch of co-sleepers had… Read more
been recalled for this issue so I assumed this would be safe but I feel I was mistaken. In the market for a co-sleeper again as having another baby and come across reviews for this one accidentally and it appears I’m not the only one who experienced this issue. Avoid.
Potentially dangerous – Baby rolls To side abs ends up with face against non breathable material. Extremely dangerous. Found 4 week old rolled on front. Luckily she was not swaddled at the time.
DANGEROUS!!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE – This product is extremely dangerous-my newborn at 2 weeks old rolled over from it having a lean!! (not an obvious lean at the time) Not SIDS SAFE! I complained to baby bunting and nothing was done to stop these being sold. Consider putting SIDS safe cot in your room or a traditional bassinet. Show details
Could be better, not SIDS safe – The mattress needs the hard wood underneath, not inside the zipper so you have something to tuck blankets into/under so as they are not loose. Also, how can you get away with non breathable material at the base? My son's nose and face was against it when like many others have said, he would always end up on one side crooked. I'm not sure how this passes compliance? Why not have the mesh all the way down?
NOT SAFE - BASE NOT FLAT – After wondering why my baby kept ending up face into the external side wall of this bassinet and osteo appointments to be told his neck muscles are fine and shouldn’t have side preference, I put a level in the bassinet and the bubble shot up to the end showing a substantial lean towards the external wall. This is so unsafe for little ones that don’t have the ability to push away. Show details
Not flat, not safe! – Mattress is flimsy and uncomfortable, had to purchase a different bassinet for my small baby. Once we moved her into it, she constantly migrates to the top corner as the base is not flat. Her body is often pressed against the non breathable portion of the bassinet. Does not seem SIDS safe at all. Needing to use something to prop up the legs but… Read more
it’s still not completely flat. I complained to baby bunting and they hid behind the fact that there’s no safety standards for bassinets in Australia. Do not recommend!

New mum must have – Absolutely love this cosleeper! It’s a must have for any new mum. I required an emergency cesarian and this bassinet saved me! My 3 month old still sleeps soundly in it at night and I’m convinced cosleepers are the only way! Show details
Don't buy – The mattress is flimsy and hard to find sheets for it, then since last week my babys being pushed against the side that doesn't come down, I've tried placing him closest to me, still within an hour he's up against the otherside, seems dangerous and uncomfortable Show details
Have reported product to accc product safety – Beware of this product. I purchased this product for my newborn and at first it was amazing but after just 2 weeks of usage the side that does not open began to sag causing the sleeping surface to become uneven and my newborn to roll into the side of the sleeper pressing his face up against the side. Today I returned it to the shop I purchased it… Read more
from and they gave me a full refund and did a safety report for it. I also reported this co sleeper to the accc product safety deptartment. Please consider spending a bit more and get a better co sleeper.
We are happy but has some faults – The bassinet is good, very convenient as you are able to pick up the baby without getting out of bed At night. The height is adjustable and even though is not recommended by the manufacturer It’s possible to tilt the bed slightly by lowering the height of one of the legs which has helped us when baby had reflux and congestion. The only fault is… Read more
that despite having set it up correctly the base always seem to be uneven which has caused to find baby slightly rolled on his left with the face squashed against the fabric after been placed on his back in the middle. We now put baby to bed close to the adult bed side of the bassinet so even if he rolls slightly he will end up in the middle
