FAQ

Why does the bassinet & bedside sleeper have multiple height settings?

While multiple height settings can make it easier for parents of different heights and reaches to access the baby, the height settings are designed to ensure proper height setting in relation to the parents' bed height. For safety, it’s important that the top rail not be taller than the adult mattress height. For this reason, we provide 8 settings to properly adjust the bassinet as needed to your sleep surface.

How does the bassinet become a bedside sleeper?

Safety straps are provided to secure the bedside sleeper position next to your bed frame. These straps are placed under the mattress and over the bed frame or box spring for safety purposes. The panel has a hidden zipper that allows for the front bar releases to be exposed for removal and the front panel to fold down. Please note: In Bedside Sleeper mode, this item is designed for use only with adult beds that are between 19.5 and 25 inches from the floor to the top of the mattress. For safety when using in bedside mode, it is important to ensure that the provided straps are used to secure the sleeper next to your bed. Also, be certain to ensure that the base of the Bedside sleeper is lower than the top of your mattress.

Will this bassinet work with my bed height?

Our bassinet is designed to fit most bed heights. In bedside sleeper mode, the recommended range is 19½ inches - 25 inches. If your bed is taller than this range, rest assured that our bassinet is still safe to use — your baby will simply be situated a bit lower. Alternatively, it can always be used as a standalone bassinet (no matter your bed height). As a reminder, always be sure follow to follow the complete instructions for assembly and use.

Is the Infant Access Panel breathable?

As with all Newton products, our Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper was crafted with the highest standards of safety, design, and innovation. The infant access panel of the Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper utilizes a slightly different material than the mesh surround in order to properly support the infant access opening. This is made of the same breathe-thru spacer material that our breathable Original & Waterproof Mattress Covers are made of. Rest assured that this material was thoughtfully selected to allow for proper ventilation and, ultimately, a safe and comfortable sleep environment for your baby even if they move to one side.

Top Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper Questions

A Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper is a type of baby bed designed to keep your newborn close to you while they sleep. This bed from Newton can be used as a stand-alone, traditional bassinet, or as a bedside sleeper.

In bedside sleeper mode, you’ll securely strap your baby’s bed onto your bed frame. This allows you to easily feed and comfort your baby throughout the night without getting out of bed.

While each family’s needs are different, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies share the same room as their parents for the first six months. Baby should have their own, dedicated safe sleep space such as a bassinet or bedside sleeper, and not bed share.

Parents have discovered several benefits of using the Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper. Here are a few of them:

- Gives you peace of mind: When you can see and hear your baby while they sleep, you can keep a close eye on them and ensure they’re safe and comfortable.
- Keeps your baby within arms reach: When your baby fusses for a middle-of-the-night feeding or diaper change, you can quickly access and comfort them without leaving your room.
- Promotes bonding: Your baby will feel safe and secure with you nearby. They’ll be close enough to get comfort from your scent and voice.

We designed the Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper with safety in mind. It’s been independently tested to comply with and exceed ASTM mandatory safety standards, so you can confidently put your baby to sleep in this cozy bed.

The mattress is made with our patented Breathe-Thru Technology, which lowers the risk of suffocation and promotes airflow for safer sleep.

When used as a bassinet or securely installed next to your bed, our Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper provides a secure sleep environment. Additionally, the mattress is made using our innovative Breathe-Thru Technology, which reduces the risk of suffocation.

Typically, you’ll want to transition your baby to a different bed once they can sit up independently or push up on their hands and knees. Otherwise, they could potentially fall out of the bassinet.

The Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper has a large interior for extended use. It’s designed for newborns up to six months who weigh no more than 20 pounds.

Your bassinet sheet needs to fit snugly to prevent suffocation or entanglement. Since all bassinets are different, you’ll want to verify the size and shape of your bassinet mattress before purchasing sheets.

The Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper comes with a breathable muslin cotton sheet. This soft fabric gives your baby a comfortable and safe sleep experience.

The Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper is one of a kind. Unlike traditional bassinets, it’s made with a patented Wovenaire® core, which is 90% air. This mattress allows your baby to breathe right through it, lowering the risk of suffocation.

It’s also completely washable. You can easily wash the entire bassinet, including mattress cover and core, to keep your baby’s sleep environment clean.

Here are a few other reasons to consider this bed:

- Solid birch frame is sturdy yet lightweight
- Easy to assemble
- Large interior dimensions for extended use
- Breathable mesh walls promote airflow and allow you to see your baby at a glance
- Two different use modes: bassinet or bedside sleeper
