Overview

Highlights

  • Cradle sides are made of soft and airy mesh fabric
  • Light enough to move from room to room as needed
  • Gentle, springy rocking movement
  • Stable, safe design from newborn to 6 months
  • Oeko-Tex certified for peace of mind

Description

Before you have a baby, it may be hard to imagine buying a piece of furniture that you will use only for a few months. But having a good cradle or bassinet in those early weeks can be invaluable. BabyBjorn’s sleek Cradle for newborns is a minimalist meeting of form and function that may be worth the investment.

The comfortable Cradle has a gentle rocking movement that is triggered when you rock it or in response to the baby’s own movements. The design is compact, and it’s light enough that you can carry it from room to room—setting it up in the living room by day and the bedroom by night—so you can be near your baby at all times.

The Cradle is designed with safety top of mind along with comfort. The sides are made of mesh, allowing excellent air circulation. Your baby can breathe through this fabric, so you don’t need to worry if your baby’s face is too close to the side of the cradle. The fabric construction also means there are no loose parts or bars to trap hands or feet, and you don’t need a bumper. The sheer mesh and low height allow you to easily monitor your baby.

In addition, the Cradle is certified free of hazardous substances according to the stringent international Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I for baby products. Assembly is required, but it’s straightforward can be done in just a few minutes with two screws and a key (included). Please note, the canopy is not included.

Great for short time
Worked very well for our newborn so we could keep him close in our bedroom. I appreciate the simple design and the gentle bounce it has to it. Only downsides were the low height from the ground and its short length - our baby outgrew it in 2 months when it’s marketed for up to 6 months.

Not worth the price at all.
I wanted to love this. It's pretty but that's literally all it has to offer. It's wayyy too low, you have to get out of bed to pick up your baby or you'll basically fall into the bassinet. It doesn't move, I think it advertises a rocking when baby moves? ya it doesn't. So ya that's it, $350 for a very boring, low bassinet. I'm genuinely sad this is what I chose as our bassinet.

Might be great but...
I ordered this cradle on April 4th. It arrived April 7th--with one of the screws that holds the cradle together warped (manufacturing flaw, nothing I can do about it!. The customer service team sent out new screws- which did not fit. Then, they sent a whole new cradle, but it came without any screws at all! Both boxes arrived with the legs of the cradle poking through the sides, but not too much damage to the feet...I have been 2 days waiting for someone to respond to my request for resolution...and when I followed up today they state that they have a system-wide computer failure, so no one can look up my order or help me. So, 1 months and 2 weeks later I have no working cradle and no solution. Not confident in this company after all of this!

This cradle was great for the first few weeks. We moved our daughter to a crib at 6 weeks because she is very wiggly in her sleep, and the cradle moved a lot with her motions, which would wake her up.

Misleading for the cost
The bassinet is marketed for max 18lbs or approximately 6 months. My baby is two months old and already cramped. There is no chance an average baby can last up to 6 months in this bassinet. The “soothing” rocking is not soothing at all. The height is also much lower than the states dimensions. I unexpectedly had a c-section and it was so difficult to get baby in and out quickly and safely. For the price, I strongly regret putting this on my registry because we’re not going to get to use it past 3 months.

Nice cradle, but way too small
I feel like it was false advertising to claim this can last babies up to 6 months. My baby is of average height and has already outgrown it at 3.5 months. Otherwise I did enjoy the product - just need to lower the price and update the description.

Unimpressed
Rocking motion is not smooth at all. Rocks too quickly, would be jarring to the baby rather than soothing. Wooden legs look cheap. Would return product if it weren’t such a hassle to do so.
