Is the Maxi-Cosi Iora Bassinet sturdy?

Some users find it slightly wobbly, especially on carpet, but most consider it safe for supervised sleep when assembled correctly.

Can you purchase extra sheets for the Iora?

No, Maxi-Cosi does not sell spare sheets separately; users have resorted to third-party or EU imports.

Does the bassinet adjust to different bed heights?

It has four height positions, but some taller parents find it too low even at the highest setting.

• Summary of Maxi-Cosi Iora reviews and hands-on experiences

  We love this bassinet! It's super easy to assemble, and I love that we can adjust it to sit at the height of our bed snug up against the side. We took a road trip with it too and I loved we could bring the comfort of her bed with us. Would definitely recommend! — I like this and plan on keeping it for baby #2. It seems safe, sturdy, good size and the mesh siding can be washed. The description of the slide function made me think there could be some movement to soothe the baby but it's just adjustable and then locks, there is no rocking. I want to point out it comes with a mattress and sheet but Maxi Cosi does not sell spare sheets. — This bassinet is beautiful, sustainable, has visible sides, and great storage underneath. Our pet peeve is that the height doesn't adjust any taller than the 4 options. We're often hunched over the side feeding our son a bottle to soothe him back to sleep, and the height plus the sides makes that uncomfortable. — This bassinet is wobbly! I feel unsafe putting my baby in it with how unstable it is. It seems like it could just fall apart or collapse.

• Comparison between Maxi-Cosi Iora and Halo BassiNest

  Few people recommended the Iora over the Halo because of its modern look, travel-friendliness, and the large storage basket. The Halo is heavier and bulkier, but feels more stable. One user said: 'I ultimately went with the Iora and love it. It’s beautiful, folds flat, and the storage underneath is a game changer.' Another noted: 'The Halo swivel is nice, but the base is huge and heavy. The Iora is much better if you want to move it from room to room.' Some concerns about Iora height adjustability: 'My bed is quite tall and even at the highest setting, the Iora was a few inches below my mattress.'

• Decision between Newton Bedside Sleeper and Maxi-Cosi Iora

  User was torn between Newton and Iora but ultimately chose the Iora because of better breathable mesh sides, lower price, and storage basket. They wrote: 'I chose the Iora over Newton mainly for the mesh sides—I wanted to be able to see baby at all times. The storage basket is a bonus and it folds flat for travel.' Another warned: 'The Iora is a bit wobbly on carpet, but on hardwood it's fine.'

• Bassinet recommendations with focus on not needing right-up-against bed

  One user mentioned: 'I have the Maxi-Cosi Iora and actually love that I don't always need it right up against the bed. It's pretty lightweight and I move it to the living room during the day. The storage basket is spacious and holds all our diaper supplies. Only annoying thing is you cannot buy extra sheets for it anywhere in the US—I had to order them from a European site.'

Easy to move around, mesh sides are a must, and the storage basket is huge.' A minor complaint: 'It’s a bit low even on the highest setting, but it works for our bed.'

• Is the Maxi-Cosi Iora Air Next to Me crib worth it?

  While mostly about the Iora Air variant, one user compared the standard Iora to the Halo: 'I tried both the Iora and the Halo and much preferred the Iora. It's lighter, easier to put together, and looks nicer. The Halo feels more hospital-like and the base takes up so much room.' Another said: 'The Iora is great but don't expect it to be rock-solid; there's a bit of wobble if you have a very active baby.'
