Few things are more important to new parents than their baby’s sleep.For newborn to 6-month-old babies, the best place for that sleep is in a safety-certified bassinet, crib, or play yard in their parents’ room, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Of those options, a bassinet or a co-sleeper (a bassinet with a drop-down side, for positioning next to an adult bed) is often the most appealing choice, due to the compact, portable size and shallow sleep area (which makes it easy to lift out a just-awakened baby).After we researched 43 bassinets and put 14 to the test during those bleary-eyed first four months of parenting an infant, one thing became clear: There’s no single “right” bassinet for every family. Lifestyle, budget, and individual preferences will ultimately determine the features that are most important to you.
