The BabyBjörn Baby Cradle is a minimalist, compact option that rocks. BabyBjörn designed it for quiet, gentle rocking similar to the movement of a pram, so you can soothe the baby with a light push and no motor or power cord. The sides are an airy mesh that keeps the cradle cool and lets you see the baby, and the mesh, mattress and cover come off for the washing machine. All fabrics are certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 for baby products, and BabyBjörn says the cradle complies with ASTM F2194, the US standard for bassinets and cradles. It folds to just 5 inches high for storage. The mattress is included, but the fitted sheet ($29.99) and canopy ($74.99) are extra. The limits: it is for newborns to about 6 months with an 18 lb maximum, lower than most rivals, and it stands on the floor rather than attaching to the bed. The 10-year guarantee is the longest here.
