Babyrest Alfie2 Bedside Bassinet

From the very first night, you want baby close by — within arm's reach for a quick cuddle, a night feed, or just a hand on their back to settle them. The Babyrest Alfie2 Bedside Bassinet is built for exactly that: all the closeness of co-sleeping, on a separate, certified sleep surface of baby's own.

Alfie is Australia's highest-certified bedside bassinet, meeting Babyrest's strict Safer Sleep Test criteria — firmness standards, CO₂ rebreathing, and the latest Australian infant incline surface regulations.

The rest is designed around tired parents. The side drops down so you can reach baby without getting up, five height positions line the bassinet up with almost any bed, and four lockable swivel wheels mean you can move it room to room without a fuss.

Why parents love the Alfie2 Bedside Bassinet

It is the difference between climbing out of bed six times a night and simply rolling over. Parents tell us the drop-down side is the feature they did not know they needed, especially in those first weeks after a caesarean, and the mesh sides mean you can see baby breathing without switching on a light. Knowing the mattress is Safer Sleep tested is what lets everyone actually rest.

Looking for gentle motion as well? Have a look at the Swan Smart Electronic Bassinet, and dress either with a bamboo fitted sheet and a mattress protector.

FAQs

Will the Alfie2 fit my bed?
In most cases, yes. The mattress base adjusts between 43.5 cm and 53.5 cm across five positions, and the bassinet straps securely to your bed frame so there is no gap for baby to slip into.

Is the Alfie2 safety certified?
Yes. It meets AS/NZS 2195:2010 (Folding Cots) and EN 1130:2019 (Children's Furniture – Cribs), and the mattress is tested to AS/NZS 8811.1:2013 for firmness and INPAA VAG-006 for CO₂ rebreathing. It also meets the latest Australian infant incline surface regulations.

How long can my baby use it?
From newborn until baby reaches 9 kg or can sit unaided, whichever comes first.

Can I take it away with us?
Yes. The Alfie2 folds to 14 cm deep and comes with a travel/storage bag, plus an insect net for warmer nights away.

Is bedside sleeping safer than bed-sharing?
The Alfie2 is designed to give you the closeness of co-sleeping while baby rests on their own firm, flat, certified surface. Always place baby on their back to sleep, keep the sleep space clear of loose objects and accessories, and keep the bassinet away from blinds, cords and straps.
