Bassinet vs. Crib: Which Should Your Newborn Sleep In First?
Both bassinets and cribs are safe for a newborn from the first night, so the choice comes down to space, budget, and convenience — not safety.
Nursery
The nursery collection covers the sleep setup: cribs, bassinets, crib mattresses, and the small handful of accessories that actually belong near a sleeping baby. In island homes, that also means thinking about airflow, humidity-friendly materials, and furniture that fits real square footage — not a showroom. Every pick here is screened against current safe-sleep guidance before we ever talk about looks or price: a firm, flat sleep surface, a bare crib, and full compliance with current CPSC crib standards. Then we weigh assembly quality, mattress fit, conversion value, and how each piece holds up in warm, humid air.
