Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeper is only suitable until your baby can hold their head up without assistance, usually at approximately 6 months. This is due to the risk of suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib, you will need to begin removing the sides once your child is able to do this, so that they don't climb out or get out of bed.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product, such as gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However, the CPSC determined that these requirements are not efficient or feasible to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that could be converted into different modes like bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets through the use of an attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as a bassinet. The CPSC is considering these and other comments received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when it votes on the final rule that is expected to come out in November 2021.
