Bedside Bassinets in Canada

About

A bedside bassinet gives Canadian parents exactly what the newborn stage demands: a safe, separate sleep surface within arm's reach, positioned at the height of your own mattress so you never have to get out of bed for a night feed.

For parents in smaller Montreal apartments or urban homes without a dedicated nursery, it is worth noting that select models in this collection function as both a bassinet bedside sleeper and a freestanding bassinet, allowing you to move the sleep surface to another room for d
