Newton Baby Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper vs Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 Bassinet

Buy the Newton if breathability and a bigger sleep surface matter most to you; its Wovenaire mattress is about 90% air and it has the largest sleeping area in its class. Buy the Chicco if you want one piece of gear to do more: it converts to a bedside sleeper, a standalone bassinet and a changing station, and it holds up to 35 lbs. The Newton is lighter and easier to travel with, but it stops at 20 lbs and about six months. The Chicco is bulkier and its mattress is a standard waterproof pad, not a breathable one.

  • Choose the Newton Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper if you want the breathable, fully washable Wovenaire mattress and the roomiest sleep surface for a newborn.
  • Choose the Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 if you want a bassinet, bedside sleeper and changing station in one and a higher weight limit.

What reviewers say

Newton Baby Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper

  • 4.2 / 5305 ratings

Owners rate it 4.2 out of 5 across 305 ratings and most praise the breathable mattress and the bedside setup. Parents say the height adjustment and drop side help them reach baby from bed, especially after a C-section. Complaints center on the short usable life and the fit against some bed frames.

What people mention
  • BreathabilityPraisedParents say the airy Wovenaire mattress is why they feel comfortable letting a newborn sleep in it.
  • Bedside fitMixedThe drop side and straps work well next to most beds, but the 19.5" to 25" bed height range does not suit every frame.
  • Height adjustmentPraisedOwners recovering from a C-section say the 8 height settings make it easy to reach baby without bending.
  • BuildPraisedThe laminated wood frame is described as sturdy and light enough to move between rooms.

Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 Bassinet

Owners of Chicco bedside bassinets generally like the close-to-bed positioning and the mesh sides for checking on the baby at night. The 3-in-1 changer gets mixed marks: handy in a small room, but it adds bulk and the storage caddy costs extra.

What people mention
  • Bedside fitPraisedOwners say the adjustable height lets the bassinet sit level with the bed for night feeding.
  • Mesh sidesPraisedParents like being able to see the baby through the mesh and expect good airflow.
  • SizeCriticisedThe 33.5 by 28 inch footprint takes up real floor space next to the bed.
  • StorageCriticisedThe diaper caddy is optional and extra, so buyers pay more for storage.

Questions and answers

Which is better for bedside sleeping?
Both attach to the bed with a drop side. The Newton has eight height settings and a removable arm, so it fits more bed heights precisely. The Chicco adjusts too but is bulkier next to the bed.
Which lasts longer?
The Chicco, at 35 lbs versus 20 lbs for the Newton. Most babies outgrow the Newton around six months.
Is the Newton mattress really safer?
Newton says independent lab testing found its Wovenaire mattress poses no significant suffocation risk, and the mattress is about 90% air. The Chicco mattress is a standard waterproof pad.
Do I need the changing station?
Only if you want one less piece of furniture. The Chicco's changer is built in; with the Newton you would buy a separate changing pad.
Which is easier to travel with?
The Newton. It weighs about 22 lbs and comes with a carry bag. The Chicco has wheels but is heavier and bulkier to pack.
Is the Chicco worth stepping up to?
If you want a changer and a longer usable life, yes. If breathability and a bigger sleep surface matter more, the Newton is the better fit.
