Co Sleepers and Bedside Bassinets Australia - Safe Sleep Close to You
Co sleeping safely is a priority for many Australian families, and the right co sleeper or bedside bassinet makes that possible without compromise. At Peekaboo Baby, our co sleeper range includes bedside bassinets and side-car cribs designed to keep baby close during the night while maintaining a separate, safe sleep space. Browse alongside our full nursery range and baby sleep time collection for everything you need to create the ideal sleep environment. Our baby monitors and nightlights and sleep aids complement co sleepers perfectly for a complete nursery sleep setup.
Bedside bassinets attach securely to the adult bed at mattress height, allowing parents to reach and comfort their baby without leaving the bed - a feature particularly loved by breastfeeding mothers recovering from birth. The side panels open or lower to provide easy access while maintaining a separate sleep surface for the baby. This approach follows safe sleep guidelines while supporting responsive parenting and night feeding. All co sleepers in our range meet Australian safety standards. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in a co sleeper or bedside bassinet
- Height adjustability - The co sleeper must align with your adult bed height. Look for multiple height settings to match different mattress heights.
- Secure attachment - Strong, stable attachment to the adult bed prevents gaps and ensures the co sleeper stays in position through the night.
- Breathable sides - Mesh sides allow airflow and visibility without obstruction, supporting safe sleep in warm Australian conditions.
- Easy access panel - A drop-down or fold-down side panel makes reaching the baby during night feeds much easier and quieter.
- Mattress firmness - Babies should sleep on a firm, flat surface. Check that the included or compatible mattress meets safe sleep guidelines.
- Weight limit and age range - Most bassinets suit newborns up to around 5-6 months or until the baby starts to roll or push up.
Pair your co sleeper with our sleep essentials, baby monitors, and full nursery range for a complete and safe sleep setup for your new arrival.
Co Sleepers and Bedside Bassinets - Frequently Asked Questions

Most co sleepers and bedside bassinets are designed for babies from birth to around 5-6 months, or until the baby begins to roll, push up on hands and knees, or reach the maximum weight limit. Once a baby can move themselves, it is time to transition to a cot.

Measure your adult mattress height from the floor before purchasing. Look for a co sleeper with a height range that includes your mattress height. Most co sleepers are designed to accommodate standard bed heights, with adjustable legs providing flexibility across a range of mattress heights.
