Iora Bedside Bassinet
Product details
Web ID: 17361330Not sturdy
This bassinet is SO wobbly! I feel unsafe putting my baby in it with how unstable it is. It seems like it could just fall apart or collapse. I’m so disappointed because you pay a lot for this and expect it to be great quality. I definitely do not recommend this bassinet for the safety and for the price. Not worth it at all.

Beautiful, safe bassinet for your baby!
This is my second time buying this bassinet. I purchased in 2022 for my son, gave to a friend after using, only to get pregnant again in 2024. Thus, I bought a new one. First off, the bassinet is beautiful. It is adjustable, capable of rocking and has an extra large storage area underneath. The mesh is very breathable and lightweight. I had some issues with my recent purchase but Maxi Cosi was quick to rectify them. I have the swing, the rocker and the playpen as well. I will stick with Maxi Cosi products.

Such a convenience!
So convenient having this bedside for when our boy wakes up at night for feedings. Easy to put together and lightweight to move around the room as needed.

Happy i got it! Functional and stylish!
PROS: The breathable mesh really gives me peace of mind because my baby loves to sleep with her face up against the side. I love the design. It has 4 sturdy legs unlike a lot of other bedside bassinets. The size is really nice and big which means it will last us for a while. It packs down to a thin portable bag for easy travel. Baby sleeps well in it so it must be reasonably comfortable! CONS: the main con for me is that you have to reach over and in pretty far to transfer baby. This means that i have definitely woken her up a few times during the transfer which can be frustrating. Other notes: I personally don’t mind that the mattress pad is not machine washable. I wipe it with soap and water then leave it to dry and sanitize in the sun. IOverall i would definitely recommend this bassinet and I have no regrets with this purchase.

I'm so sad we have almost outgrown it!
We bought the Iora because our big baby outgrew the smaller bassinet within 4 weeks. I wish we had this one all along. It is so great- a fantastic height for taking baby in and out, comfortable for her, and super easy to break down for travel. The mesh sides are really breathable and, if you have a wiggled like we do, don't cause any concern when she presses up against them. PSA: I know they say that you don't need crib sheets but we use the Brolex bassinet sheets with it and they fit perfectly. I am so sad that our little one is about to outgrow it. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to room-in.

Simple, safe, and compact bassinet
I love this bassinet for how lightweight, convenient, and safe it is. The mesh is great for breathability and I love that it folds flat to store or transport. The storage basket underneath is great for diapers, breastfeeding pillows, and extra blankets.

Cute but not safe
I purchased this for our baby that was born in November. I thought it was super cute and had to buy it. When we assembled the bassinet, it was very sturdy, a little heavy, but we had no plans on moving it around our home. Not even one month after use, the bassinet was very wobbly, moved with any small movement my son made, it didn't feel safe anymore. I contacted "support" and was asked to send videos. They responded and informed me that all the movement the bassinet was making is very much "normal" but I don't recall it doing this when we started using it. They asked me to tear a hole in the bassinet in order for them to send me my money back. I informed them I didn't want my money back, just a replacement and would be happy to send back the one we currently have back. They said this couldn't be done, they could only give me a credit back. Later, they explained that the movement was the issue and couldn't do an exchange. This confused me because they first said movement was normal? Unfortunately, at the moment we do not have funds to purchase another bassinet and no other means of a safe sleeping space and my concern is safe sleep, I explained this to the representative and was clear. Given this is a baby company with "safe practices" I was concerned that they would even insist that I tear up the bassinet before I was able to get a replacement from them. They compared it to going to any store and not being able to get a refund without a product in hand. The only thing is, this isn't just any company, again, this is a BABY company that is supposed to practice baby safety. I would've hoped they would put a baby's safety first. Customer service was obviously no help. I'm now working on trying to get a safe sleeping space because MaxiCosi couldn't help with this issue.

Large and Trendy
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. My first was a spitter and we often had to change sheets during the night. Maxi Cosi support says they might be able to provide another mattress/sheet combo but they can't offer just the standard sheet as a spare for "safety reasons". I don't know what reasons a duplicate sheet would be a safety hazard, but it's good to know when purchasing.
