Safety
The BabyBjorn Cradle meets the safety standards of both Europe and The United States. This includes the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class I safety standard, which does not allow the usage of harmful flame retardant chemicals or other chemicals not suitable or safe for baby products. The chemicals that are forbidden by the standard are often linked to serious diseases including cancer even though they are widely used in many other items for babies and children.
The fabrics used in the cradle are also approved under the same class so they do not contain the harmful chemicals either. The materials used are meant to be safe for the delicate skin of babies and newborns and free of irritants. Additionally, the materials are safe for babies if they are to chew on them or put them in their mouths.
The base of the BabyBjorn Cradle has an MDF board that is compliant with the CARB Phase 2 standard. So the board emits the safest level of hazardous material of all MDF boards available on the market.
Both the fabric and the mattress are machine washable which is rare for similar bassinets so this allows parents to maintain the level of cleanliness that they desire. The mesh fabric on the sides is also highly breathable so babies will have proper aeration and harmful bacteria or germs will have a harder time getting trapped in the fabric.
The BabyBjorn Cradle ranks highly in eco-friendliness as well. It doesn’t use many of the harmful chemicals and materials that other companies use in their baby products so it’s a safe option for children as well as the environment.

Portability
The cradle is 26 inches high so it’s suitable for parents who are either sitting down in a chair or lying down in a lower bed. Because the cradle only weighs around 13 pounds it’s easy to pick it up and place it wherever you want. The bottom of the cradle is supported by two 23 inch metal feet that have rubber ends so that your floors will not get scuffed or damaged. They also are low to the ground and are thin enough so they can be tucked under the bed and the bassinet can be right up against the edge of it. The cradle is very compact and lightweight so it can be moved around or stored practically anywhere, even in in small or cramped spaces. The legs are also able to be removed using a screwdriver in case the cradle needs to be transported in the car or put up in storage.
Ease of Use
Assembly takes only a few minutes and a few steps. Disassembly is just as simple. In order to take it apart and transport the bassinet, all you need to do is remove the two screws and remove the legs. It can then be placed in a car, storage or any other tight space.
The mattress pad is simply lifted out of the bassinet to remove it. The mesh walls also have zippers so taking it apart for a wash takes almost no effort.
The entire unit can be picked up and moved around since it only weighs about 13 pounds. The feet are flat so they can be slid underneath the bed or other pieces of furniture so that the bassinet can be as near to you as you’d like while you’re in bed. This allows parents to feel secure having their child nearby and also it saves space in the home.
The gentle rocking motion is due to a spring suspension system that is easily triggered. The weight and movements of your baby alone are enough to move the bassinet back and forth. However you can push it yourself as well which takes only a minimal amount of force.
