# babybay Bedside Sleeper
Model: Original
Color: Beige, Oil, White, Untreated
Brand: Babybay
Category: Nursery & Sleep > Bassinets
Age: 0-3m, 3-6m
The most compact babybay bedside sleeper, made for smaller bedrooms. It anchors to your bed frame so your baby sleeps in a space of their own but stays within arm's reach - night feeds, soothing and changes without reaching over bars or getting out of bed.
Bedside sleep with a barrier between you: your baby rests on their own flat, firm surface rather than your mattress, close enough to settle without either of you fully waking.
## Key features
- Peek-a-boo barrier keeps baby in sight
- 4" barrier wall guards against rolling
- Sleeping platform shaped like a hug
- Attaches without damaging your bed frame
- Converts to a rolling standalone bassinet
- 1-2 trees planted for every tree used
## TrustScore: 89/100
TrustScore is Birch's proprietary rating, from 0 to 100, built from 50+ signals that reflect what actually matters to parents — safety, materials, recalls, certifications and quality. We don't take paid placements or sponsored rankings, so a score is never influenced by who pays to be seen.
This product's TrustScore: 89/100, weighted across 10 criteria.
- Sleep Surface Angle & Firmness: 91/100. Nothing inclined, weighted or positioner-like is sold for use in the sleeper. Hands-on testing by an independent outlet found the sleeping surface stable with no low points and the pad seated firmly on the slats, but also found the tested pad easy to compress; the brand publishes no surface-angle figure and no firmness test.
- Bassinet Standard Compliance: 85/100. A bedside sleeper that attaches to an adult bed falls under 16 CFR part 1222, which incorporates ASTM F2906. The compliance wording here is general — meets all US ASTM and CPSC safety standards — so the applicable part is not named, and no certificate or compliance-label detail is shown.
- Sleep-Product Compliance: 84/100. A bedside sleeper that attaches to an adult bed is governed in the US by 16 CFR part 1222, which incorporates ASTM F2906. This sleeper carries only a general compliance claim — meets all US ASTM and CPSC safety standards — with that rule left unnamed, and no Children's Product Certificate or accredited third-party lab report is published.
- Frame & Mesh Design: 93/100. Hands-on testing by an independent baby-gear outlet gave this sleeper a top score for breathability, finding no fabric or other obstruction that could impede a baby's breathing, with wood-slat sides and a slatted floor whose open spaces let air circulate; that testing comes from a single outlet. The frame is 100% European beechwood with no plywood and no plastic parts.
- Included Mattress Chemistry: 86/100. The sleeper ships without a pad, so this grades the pads babybay sells for it. The foam pads have a CFC-free polyurethane foam core made without flame retardants, under OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Class 1 certificate 12.0.03346, and an organic pad of coconut coir, natural Dunlop latex and Merino wool is also sold. Polyurethane foam is what this criterion grades against, and no PVC or fiberglass statement is published.
- Recall History: 92/100. We queried the CPSC recall registry directly and found one record: a 2018 recall of Babynest crib bumper accessories sold for use with babybay bedside sleepers, for a strangulation hazard, with no injuries reported and known purchasers contacted. In August 2026 Sweden's Consumer Agency ordered three Swedish retailers to recall babybay Original, Boxspring and Maxi side beds sold there because they lack a long side; that order is under appeal and covers the units sold in Sweden, not the US models sold with a barrier wall.
- Certification Credibility: 86/100. The brand names an OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Class 1 certificate, 12.0.03346, for its mattress pads, covers and sheets, which are sold separately from the sleeper. For the wooden sleeper itself it states only that it is certified by ASTM and TÜV, with no certificate number or testing lab named.
- Emissions & Off-Gassing: 90/100. Every part of the sleeper is stated to comply with EN 717-1, the formaldehyde emission standard for wood, and the finishes with EN 71-3 and ASTM F963. The frame is solid beechwood with no plywood, and no flame retardants are used. VOC off-gassing is stated to be undetectable, but no test result is published, and the sleeper does not carry GREENGUARD Gold.
- Transparency & Support: 89/100. Materials are published component by component — 100% ethically-sourced European beechwood, no plywood, no plastic parts, water-based finishes or untreated raw wood, and metal fittings tested for heavy metals — alongside manufacture in Germany and a 10-year warranty on the wood. The caveat is depth: the German factory itself is never named.
- Material Disclosure Depth: 91/100. The frame is disclosed component by component: beechwood, water-based wood glue, water-based finishes, and metal hardware tested free of lead and cadmium, with finishes named against EN 71-3, CPSIA and ASTM F963.
