Who is it for?

The Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer Bassinet and Bedside Sleeper was designed with functionality in mind. From moms’ that have to deal with recovering from a C-section to dads that just want to calm their baby without having to leave the bed, this bassinet can fit many different needs.

Its main distinguishing features are that it is height adjustable,  attaches to your bed, and has a removable section of the sidewall allowing full access to your baby with complete confidence that your baby is safe in his own cocoon.

If you worry about how you will tend to your newborn during the night without having to bed-share, this bassinet is for you.

Why I Like It

Not only is this bassinet a sturdy piece of equipment that is a perfect permanent fixture in your bedroom, but it also folds down flat in a heartbeat allowing for easy transport anywhere in the house or on the go.

Everyday Use

This baby bedside bassinet is ideal to use in your bedroom or anywhere else in your home if you choose to do so. It is light enough so you can move the bassinet from room to room with ease.

One of the nice plusses of the Baby Delight bassinet is that you do not need any tools when assembling it and taking it apart. All pieces attach together seamlessly and quickly.

The bassinet folds entirely flat for travel making it perfect to use on the go ensuring your baby feels at home regardless of where you guys end up for the night or even for a quick nap at grandma’s.

Safety

This amazing bassinet is made of premium materials that feel great to the touch and guarantee the utmost safety for your precious newborn baby.

The side walls are made of breathable mesh which allows for your baby to easily breathe even if they end up facing the bassinet walls for any reason. The mattress is also breathable and soft for added safety and comfort.

The adjustable feet allow for a very wide base that ensures the bassinet is stable in any condition. Additionally, the bassinet is also height adjustable which allows for parents to set it just perfectly for easy and safe access from their bed.

Setup and Assembly

Setup and assembly are a breeze with this smart design.

To assemble it, simply follow these 5 easy steps:

• Extend the legs to the upright position
• Attach the middle frame
• Attach the side rail
• Secure the cover to the frame
• Flip it and insert the mattress.

 It takes mere seconds to get it from fully folded to fully assembled. Check you the video below:

Quality

You would think that a bassinet that folds flat and is easy to transport may be made of cheaper materials and wobble, but that is not the case here. Even though the Baby Delight bedside sleeper can be easily transported and folds down in seconds, it still has the characteristics and feels of a premium bassinet making it perfect for everyday use in your bedroom.

The extendable metal feet allow for a very sturdy feel and they lock in place making this one of the most solid foldable bassinets out there today.

The breathable side mesh feels smooth to the touch and not rough like some other cheaper models.

The mattress is on the harder side which could be seen as a positive or negative. Positive because of safety. Having a newborn sleeping on a surface that is too soft is never the best choice since if somehow your baby ends up on his tummy, you want to minimize any chance of asphyxiation and a “hard” mattress is a great option. If you find it a bit too hard you can always get a thicker mattress cover to add some comfort.

Footprint

The bassinet itself is a medium-large bassinet which allows for your baby to grow well into the infant months. What I found was that the actual floor space taken by this unit is not significant at all.

Since the extendable feet slide under your bed and the bassinet attaches nice and tight to the side of your mattress, you can be sure that it won’t feel like it’s taking too much living space from your bedroom.

Cleaning

The covers and sheets are both removable and washable making cleaning after a spit up a breeze. The mesh sidewalls wipe down in seconds and are super easy to clean.

Please ensure that you follow the washing instructions carefully. Some customers claim that if you wash the sheets at the wrong temperature, the foam insert can in fact start to fall apart over time.

This product is safe to place in your washing machine which is going to save you a lot of time.
