Budget-friendly bedside bassinet recommendation
I have the Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer and love it. It was under $200, super easy to set up, and the mesh sides are breathable. It adjusts to different heights, though it still sits a bit lower than our bed. We use it as a co-sleeper and it's great for middle-of-the-night feedings.

Compared to other affordable bassinets in Canada
We have the Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer and we love it. It’s great quality and much more affordable than the Halo. The side that zips down is awesome for when I want to just reach over and comfort baby without getting out of bed.

Anxiety about bassinet height gap
We have the Baby Delight and it’s about an inch lower than our mattress on the highest setting. I was paranoid at first, but honestly it’s been fine. The straps keep it snug against the bed and there’s no gap big enough for baby to slip.

Sheet hunting for the Baby Delight bassinet
I have the Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer. The mattress is weird, so regular bassinet sheets don’t fit well. But I found that the Burt’s Bees bassinet sheets work perfectly. The brand only makes white ones which is annoying.

Portability and safety of the Baby Delight bassinet
We have the Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer and take it when we visit family. It folds easily and fits in the car. The mesh sides make me feel safe, but it does wobble a bit on carpet. Overall a good travel bassinet for the price.
