A regular bassinet is a freestanding sleep surface that can be placed anywhere in a room. A bedside bassinet is specifically designed to sit flush with your adult bed, with height-adjustable legs and an open, swiveling, or lowering-side access mechanism that lets you reach your baby without getting up or bed-sharing. Key distinguishing features include adjustable legs that align with a range of mattress heights, a proximity mechanism that brings the sleep surface closer to you, and mesh sides for airflow and visibility. Both types must meet Health Canada's SOR/2016-152 requirements for bassinets sold in Canada.
