Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper review

The Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper is built around its mattress. Newton uses the same Wovenaire core as its crib mattresses, says the core is 90% air so a baby can breathe through it, and makes the whole mattress washable. The frame is laminated solid wood with mesh walls, and Newton calls the 35 by 19 inch sleep surface the largest in its class, inside a 41.5 by 22 inch footprint. Eight height settings and a removable arm with a zipper flap turn it from a standalone bassinet into a bedside sleeper, though bedside mode is designed for adult beds 19.5 to 25 inches tall. A muslin sheet and a carry bag are included. Newton lists GREENGUARD Gold certification and testing to ASTM mandatory standards, and backs it with a 100-night trial, free returns and a 12-month limited warranty. It has no swivel or soothing features, and at $299.99 it is the second most expensive non-smart pick here.
