Bassinets are incredibly handy when you have a newborn so I’m always on the lookout for a good one. The Babyhome Air Bassinet is a real contender so check out my short video on it.

If you don’t want to watch the video, here is my cheat sheet:

THINGS I LOVED:

This sucker is really well made.
The legs easily come off so it can fold flat for travel or storage.
It only weighs 13.2lbs so it is super light
Side mesh windows that allow for nice airflow – the mesh is nice and sturdy so nobody is putting a finger through it either.
3 different interchangeable leg positions: wheels rocker and stationary.
Comes with easily attachable changing pad
It just looks nice – no frills or dingalings hanging off of it
Nice height – the edge was flush with my bed so I could easily see in.
The wheels and lightness make it very portable
The mattress is made out of some magical breathable pad – it’s something special.

THINGS TO CONSIDER:

I found the fabric a little persnickety to zip onto the frame. There isn’t much give (which is a good thing when it comes to babies – you don’t want slack) but you only have to put that on once so I wouldn’t sweat it too much.
It’s pricey at $300. I think you get what you pay for – you can tell the materials are top of the line – but it’s still a big ticket item.

If you want to compare it to other products, I would take a look at:

Chicco Lullago Travel Crib: Less expensive, no roll or rock options on the legs, no change pad & mattress isn’t as fancy
Babybjorn Cradle: Also has the nice mesh feature but doesn’t fold down for travel & no change pad option
H alo bassinest: Also has the nice mesh sides but you aren’t moving this sucker around – it’s on the heavy side so it would probably just stay in your bedroom.
