Bassinet

Make sure that the slats of the bassinet are spaced far enough apart to ensure security. If they're too close together you could be at risk of an increased risk of suffocation.

The space for sleeping is designed to meet their specific needs, with high sides with large hoods as well as safety aprons on top. It lets them move around in comfort, without being exposed to the elements or held by safety harnesses.

These are great for first-time parents who do not want the hassle of carrying a car seat, pushchair or shopping bag, as well as a changing bag each time they need to leave the home.
