Ingenuity Dream & Grow Bedside Bassinet

Alert

According to incident reports from the CPSC’s public database, SaferProducts.gov, the Ingenuity Dream & Grow Bedside Bassinet has been associated with two infant deaths. In both cases, the babies were put down to sleep on their backs, but were later found on their stomachs. Our safety experts believe that the bassinet may not reliably provide a safe, flat sleep environment and should be recalled. Read the full CR story here .

Safe Sleep Guidelines for Infants:

Always place your baby down on their back in their own sleeping space, with no other people or pets.
Always use a crib, bassinet, or portable play yard for sleep with a firm, flat mattress.
Only use a fitted sheet in your baby’s sleeping space.
Do not put loose blankets, pillows or nursing pillows, stuffed toys, bumpers, baby loungers, or sleep positioners in your baby’s sleeping space.
Do not use weighted sleep sacks.
If your baby falls asleep in a car seat, stroller, swing, or infant carrier, move them to a firm sleep surface on their back as soon as possible.

Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), which includes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), remains the leading cause of death in infancy. But following safe sleep practices for every nap and nighttime can help keep your infant safe and prevent the risk of SUID fatalities. For more safe sleep recommendations, reach out to your pediatrician.

Detailed Test Results

The noise readings for this bassinet's sound/music feature, with each song or sound playing at max volume, ranged from 58 to 66 decibels (dB) in our tests. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that sound machines are kept at 50 dB or lower, so use the quieter settings to stay below the limit.

About

The Ingenuity Dream & Grow Bedside Bassinet is part of the Bassinets test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Smart/Soothing Bassinets are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Our Safety tests ensure that each bassinet meets federal safety guidelines. Among other tests, we assess the firmness of the sleep surface and use an inclinometer to ensure that the sleeping surface never reaches an incline of 10 degrees or greater, which can be dangerous to a baby’s airflow. We also look for materials that promote airflow in the baby’s sleep environment, such as mesh panels.

Convenience takes into account the ease of lifting and carrying the bassinet around the home, onboard storage such a basket, shelf or pockets, and how easy it is to clean and maintain the bassinet's fabrics and frame.

Design takes into account breathability of the side walls, whether the frame height is adjustable, how easy it is to access the baby, and how travel-ready or packable the bassinet is.

Features takes into account such features as automated soothing in response to baby's cries, motion (from a gentle sway to vibration to more elaborate motion patterns), sound (music, white noise or other sounds), a night light or other light features, and whether there's an app that you can use to control the bassinet from your smartphone.

Ease of Assembly takes into account the number of parts, the number of steps and the number of actions in each step.
